landolphe Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Who is the female singer who sings over the closing credits for the TCM biographical shows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudson_Hawk Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Some dame named Susan Alexander Kane. Rumor is that her husband tried to turn her inta some kinda hoity-toity opera singer, even built her her own opera house in Chicago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landolphe Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 Opera singer??? Hers is more of a cabaret voice, like Blossom Dearie or Anne Hampton Callaway. Is she from the current music era? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landolphe Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 Are you SURE it's Billie Holiday? I have three different recordings by her of "These Foolish Things" and none match the voice over the credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landolphe Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 Who do you think she is? Is there a way to ask TCM this question? Surprising that neither the singer nor song gets a cit in the credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredCDobbs Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I don't know who it is. It's a beautiful song. Someone here should eventually know the name and maybe will let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landolphe Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 Just re-listened to the song. I'm positive it is NOT Billie Holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
