“The greatest white female singer in the world.” – Ella Fitzgerald
“She has the inexhaustible stamina and vocal heft of a woman half her age, and her spirited optimism is irresistibly contagious. By the end of the evening, as is usually the case with her shows, I was walking on air, infused with a giddy certainty that life really is a cabaret.” – Stephen Holden, NY Times
