 Songbirds: Teri Thornton
Young Thornton began performing in 1956 at the Ebony Club in Cleveland, toured the Midwest, worked her way into longer engagements at Chicago nightclubs, and eventually recorded three albums with distinguished personnel (Devil May Care, Riverside, 1961; Somewhere in the Night, Dauntless, 1963; and Open Highway, Columbia, 1963).

Thornton's vibrato is more tightly controlled than Vaughan's, however, and although she appears capable of it, she makes no attempt to shift into a head voice as Vaughan did so often - to alternately thrilling and disruptive effect.
