A special celebration of Dame Cleo Laine鈥檚 finest moments on the 麻豆社 to coincide with her ninety-fifth birthday. Britain鈥檚 鈥楩irst Lady of Jazz鈥� became a star after joining The John Dankworth Seven in the 1950s and then marrying the bandleader. Internationally renowned for her mastery of the 鈥榮cat鈥� singing style, and with a voice that has been described as 鈥榦ne of the richest contraltos in recording history鈥�, Cleo has now enjoyed over six decades of success and acclaim here and across the world.
These are the highlights of her extraordinary career, with classic songs like Send in the Clowns and I Love You, Porgy, and duets with John Williams, Dudley Moore, Tony Bennett, and of course, her musical partner and fellow jazz legend Johnny Dankworth.
