Very Sad. One of my favorite singers from that generation. Anyone notice that she had an odd way with pronouncing lyrics? Doesn't matter, love love loved her. She made 3 recordings for Concord Records very late, maybe 1990's or so, one a tribute to her good friend Frank Sinatra. I guess its the right night to pull one of the shelf and shed a tear for another bright star lost. She must have been way up there in years, probably in her 90s. Rest in Peace, Keely.

According to an article in the Palm Springs paper today, Keely Smith was 89 and died of heart failure after a long period of declining health.

love those latter era recordings, especially her killer "Kansas City"! Also noticed her pronunciation occasionally on words like "house".

Go to YouTube and listen to her performance of "When Day Is Done." Magnificent. This recording has been championed recently by Jonathan Schwartz.
