| | Songbirds: Kay Starr |
 | | Kay Starr has eloquently sung jazz, blues, pop, rock 'n' roll, rhythm and blues, folk, gospel, "hillbilly" and country. |
 | | It is indeed Kay in both cases, with her trademark self-assurance while speaking, and an already husky instrument while singing. |
 | | Kay turns in unique renditions through her idiosyncratic phrasing, and various stylistic devices, including emphases on syllables other than the conventional ones, pauses, and stretched notes. |
