ABBEY LINCOLN - Abbey Sings Abbey (2007)





Abbey Lincoln was a unique jazz vocalist in that she wrote very good songs and sang them herself rather than relying on covers by other artists ! Her voice is somewhat reminiscent of Billie Holiday,,in fact she released an album Abbey Sings Billie.

This album demonstrates Abbey's unique vocal talent and song writing.
Unfortunately she passed away last year but left behing her a legacy of one of the foremost female jazz singers in history.
