I have different ideas about who I'd like to have sing me to sleep 8-),
but, yes: her interpretation of "You Do Something to Me" on the Red Hot and
Blue (contemporary interpretations of songs by Cole Porter, for AIDS
fundraising) album is spectacular. Ditto on the same album for Lisa
Stansfield singing "Down in the Depths." Both singers show incredible
range.
