I discovered Eileen Farrell when I took a chance on a CD at Best Buy about 20 years ago. I had never heard of her, but she was one of my great discoveries. Steve and I both have loved her for years.
Eileen was an Opera Singer. She was a Diva who sang at the Met, but left it all to marry a Cop and move to Brooklyn. She was later a college professor in Maine, but then she sang standards in her later years.
She’s not well known today, but she’s one of my favorites…
