When Gloria Lynne grew up in Harlem and Sarah Vaughan, Carmen McRae and Ella Fitzgerald were her idols.

Gloria won first prize at the "Amateur Night" at the Apollo Theater. Gloria performed with many of the jazz greats including Quincy Jones, Bobby Timmins, Philly Joe Jones, Harry "Sweets" Edison and others,

In the 1960's Gloria had several hits including "June Night," "Love I Found You," and "I Wish You Love" - her signature song. Gloria then toured with Ray Charles, Billy Eckstine and Ella Fitzgerald.

Gloria Lynne remains one of the great voices of our time. Although many do not think of her as a jazz vocalist, this recording speaks for itself. "Classics" is just that - an album that ranks up there with the Classics!
