This book was a fun read with lots of film noir references. Fans of straight detective books will enjoy it.

I was not disappointed in this CD however I had heard most of the songs previously on her other CD's. I still recomend this because I could listen to her sing anytime.

THE WOMAN HAD THE VOICE OF AN ANGEL. SHE LEFT US WAY TOO SOON. LOVE THE CD. THERE ARE NO OTHERS OUT THERE THAT COME CLOSE TO FILLING HER SHOES. WORTH THE MONEY.

Isabel McArthur Jones has such a rich and full voice with a lot of range to it. love to her for in a live concert, her voice is probably even better just raw and without any sound technician ... can't wait to hear more

This small voiced 'Lady' had a giant of a voice.  She led all the lady singers and proves it on this album.

I'm so glad she's found a way to continue making a living from her vocalism, even though the Parkinson's has made it impossible to produce new material.  She has one of the very best voices pop has ever heard; she even sang the female lead in a production of "La Boheme" at the Public Theater in NYC, produced by Joe Papp!  She could sing anything.  Excited to hear this material.

My word. Why oh why is Debbie Gibson singing through her nose like that? She sounds like she's trying too hard to sound 15 or however old she was when she first recorded her songs. Ugh.

I was really happy I found this album.  She was, I believe, a pattern for the likes of Martina McBride and other women with very strong high ranging vocal capabilities.

Her voice is as strong as ever and, when applied to this new standard of difficulty, has never sounded better.  I witnessed her performance of a similar program at the Musikverein in Vienna and even there she left people  pinching themselves.  She might have done ten encores that day.
She  obviously possesses an extraordinarily flexible instrument, an incredibly  rich tone and a fluidly high range for a mezzo.  When she came onto the  scene, critics chastised her for ruining her voice by oversinging, but  after ten years of doing it her way, as she does in this concert, there are  no signs of deterioration.  Her fiery personality shines through on every  coloratura passage, and there are loads of them here, particularly the  Vivaldi piece, which is literally a superhuman effort, and only leaves me  laughing when I hear it again.
Undoubtedly her prime must be waning  though, and her voice will change over the next 5-10 years, the question  will be whether or not she can develop her dramatic capacity to take on  heavier and less "rosy" stage roles than she has enjoyed success  in of late.  If she does, I think there is a potential for her to go down  as one of the all time greats -- which is a hellovalot more than I can say  about most singers of her generation!

It helps to be a fan of this lovely lady, and I am.  Her music has given me and my late wife many hours of pleasure.  Having read the story of her life was a very enjoyable experience.

She is a most amazing singer and artist. Incredible and unique voice and her attention to the diction is fantastic.

I'm pretty new to JST but have heard her name mentioned on some message boards.  Well, I'm sold now that I've listened to White Sugar.  I agree with other comments of a voice like Susan Tedeschi or Bonnie Raitt, combined with the ability to smoke on the guitar at or near the level of any of the top players (Bonamassa, Mayer, Trucks, Lister, etc.).  This plus great songwriting and a sound from blues to bluesrock but with a pop sensibility.  This lass from England is a real blues star on the rise.

Love the songs, both music and lyrics.  Very impressive, especially considering she is a teenager.  She has a maturity beyond the typical teenage pop fair that you usually hear.  She's a contender.

One of my favorite things about Ethel Ennis is the sheer energy she put in to the songs she sang.  Not available here, but on LPs are her versions of "Joey, Joey-Joey" and "I've Got that Feeling (That Strange, Exciting Feeling") which she also performed in a Scopitone. She also had the honor of singing the National Anthem at a presidential inauguration, which was something I never knew about her before! I'd have to put her in a Ketty Lester ("Love Letters") category of elegant ladies of song if one was needed.  But Ethel picked up the tempo quite well too. A particularly charming thing she did on high notes too was hit them as if someone had run up to her and literally squeezed her tightly.  This is present at least in "Still get a Thrill". It makes her vocals very unique and special, IMO.
