Bruce Springsteen?
Barbra Streisand?
If not, who should be?
This is, of course, very subjective.
I'd like to offer up my own candidate.
It's certainly someone nobody has ever to my mind been considered for the title.
There are people who I consider to be my hip friends who have never even heard of her.
She is the great, great jazz singer and pianist, Diana Krall.
I know, it's just one very narrow area of show business, but I think she is far and away the very best
there has ever been.
Oh, and she is gorgeous too.
She seems to be a direct descendant of Peggy Lee and Julie London, but is far more versatile, oh, and did I say gorgeous? I think I did.
I'll say it again. This woman is gorgeous.
She is married to Elvis Costello, and they have kids.
Good luck to them both.
The jazz conversation usually begins and ends with Ella Fitzgerald.
This is something I never understood.
I'd think you'd have to be at least attractive. And not so not syrupy when she sings ballads.
But that's me.
But that's me.
Go check Diana Krall out on YouTube.
There's a ton of wonderful performances, great piano artistry, and of course enormous gorgeousness.

My books, "Show Runner" and "Show Runner 2" can be found at the Amazon Kindle Store,
along with newer ones, "The Man Is Dead", and "Report Cards".
They are all compilations of blog entries have since been removed from the blog.
So this is the only way you can find them.,
You can search by typing in my name, Cindy Williams, Laverne and Shirley, The Odd Couple, or Happy Days.
Check them out.
You don't need a Kindle machine to download them.
Just get the free app from Kindle, and they can be downloaded to an IPhone, IPad, or Blackberry.
The paperbacks, "Mark Rothman's Essays" and my new novel, "I'm Not Garbo" are not e-books.
But they are available for people without Kindle.
I have many readings and signings lined up for those, and the thing about Kindle is you can't sign one.
If you'd like one of the paperbacks, personally autographed, contact me at macchus999@aol.com.
