Chris Connor (born 8 November 1927, Kansas City, Missouri) is a jazz singer
known for her distinctive style and expression. Her father was an eminent
musician and Connor soon studied and became proficient in the clarinet.
Connor joined the "Snowflakes", a vocal group of Claude Thornhill's band,
and moved on to become Stan Kenton's lead singer. She recorded for
Bethlehem Records originally and then began a long association with
Atlantic Records. Her trademark songs are well known to most people
familiar with jazz of the 1950s and 1960s; among them are "Lullaby of
Birdland" and "All about Ronnie."
Connor currently lives on the East Coast and has retired from public
appearances. She is, however, recording a new album.
