Biography

Nancy Wilson was among contemporary music's most stylish and sultry vocalists; while often crossing over into the pop and R&B markets -- and even hosting her own television variety program -- she remained best known as a jazz performer, renowned for her work alongside figures including Cannonball Adderley and George Shearing. Regardless of how far afield she traveled, she always maintained her connections to jazz, and in the 1980s she returned to the music with a vengeance. By the 1990s she was a favorite among the "new adult contemporary" market, her style ideally suited to the format's penchant for lush, romantic ballads. ~ Jason Ankeny
