Annie Ross

{ Annie Ross (born Annabelle Allan Short; 25 July 1930 – 21 July 2020) was a British-American singer and actress, best known as a member of the influential jazz vocal trio Lambert, Hendricks & Ross. She helped pioneer the vocalese style of jazz singing, with a style described by critic Dave Gelly as "a kind of dreamy watchfulness that is a definition of 1950s hip." In 2010, she was named a Jazz Master by the National Endowment for the Arts. Kenneth Tynan, who wrote liner notes for Ross, called her "a fallen angel [who] moves us and then brushes off our sympathy with a shrug of her lips." {
