I remember Julie, and her husband Bobby Troup, starring in the 70s show, "Emergency 51". I didn't pay much attention to torch singers back then. Thanks to Carly Simon's "Torch" album, though, I gained a deeper appreciation for the genre.
A guy? I was even thinking it could be Nina Simone. It was a great mix of music, cinematography, and story-telling in that scene. Chris Cooper was a man with a lot on his mind.

That's what I remember them from, too. I hadn't been paying attention to the earlier part of her career, though. I should have.
And there's this great scene from one of my favorite movies, "Lone Star". I think it's Peggy singing.

Thanks, R.A. Will have to check those out once I get home!
The Lone Star singer is actually Little Willie John, who also did a famous version of "Fever."
