Marilyn Maye
Marilyn Maye was beautiful and funny; her smokey, smooth, velvety voice was like an embrace.

When the warm, elegant Carolyn Montgomery presented a pitch-perfect (no pun intended) salute to the ultimate girl who sang with the band, Rosemary Clooney, praise indeed must be heaped.
It was a treat to see the “Grande Dame of Cabaret” on tour.
Brassy, sassy...Blackhurst truly excelled.
Vocals surround listeners with warmth, and the arrangements by pianist Tedd Firth are graceful, rich, and collaborative.
She had savoir faire and a truly gorgeous repertoire, and she was truly inspirational; in short, she was sublime.
Her clarion-toned, rangy contralto is fueled by elegant phrasing.
She’s mastered the power of storytelling, delivering her material quietly, but with the emotional force of a hurricane.
Sparkling, effervescent, delightful, and a joy to watch.
