I remember her. When I was growing up, my parents controlled the radio and the station they listened to played the kind of music Kay Starr sang. I am not complaining — that exposure helped me to appreciate music outside of rock. RIP.

A sad loss - you can find her popular recordings on YouTube but when looking for one to post on this thread as a tribute I found the one below. How fortunate she was to be this vibrant and able to still sing just 2 years ago at age 92!

RIP Miss Starr, you were one of the true greats.

My in-laws (WWII generation) were Big Band fans and that’s how I learned of Kay Starr. Great voice. RIP.

94 years....longer than a good many get.

I didn't know she'd still been around. Kay had an acting part in a 1957 made-for-TV movie called The Pied Piper of Hamelin that stared Van Johnson and Claude Rains. My familiarity with the performer comes from that show.
