Jo Stafford

With the Pied Pipers, you first achieved success. Not many women had your vocal prowess. As a duet with Frankie Laine and Gordon MacRae, you garnered much popularity in your day. You were most famous as a solo artist. The hits you recorded made a very long list. Your wonderful voice sounded so heavenly, with your great melody “You Belong to Me”. I can’t get enough of another song of popularity. That would be the number one hit “Make Love to Me”. Yes, success in the industry came so easily for you. I miss you since 2008, when you bid adieu.
