Unchained Melody

"I need a man, with no baggage to claim."

I love the classic songbirds: Lena Horne, Billy Holiday, Betty Carter, Dinah Washington, etc. Melody Gardot is an XPN discovery whom sounds like she stepped right out of that WWII sound. I missed her recent concert in our area, but was dismayed to hear she's changed her tune (har har har). She's moved from a classic jazz singer to a more contemporary jazz artist. I love to see artists working a theme and figure it out, scratch that itch. But I'm not quite ready to be done with her former sound :(

What happens when your heroes move on?
