Billie Holliday, too.

And even though he's in his 20's now, my friend JD Simo was a blues wonder kid by the same age.

I saw YouTube videos by a kid named Downtown Danny Donato singing great blues.

My favorite, however, was Michael Junior who had a special singing light opera and classics on PBS when he was about 8 or 9. He's using his Dutch last name now but I can't find his latest work. He had the voice of an angel.

On the other side of the age bracket, I never tired of hearing Johnny Cash either. And Leonard Cohen has about the most mesmerizing voice I ever heard.
