Just in case you'd like to know more about her:

Peggy Lee was definitely similar.

Thanks. I do not think she died on stage, but at her home in NYC.

Read thee NY Times obit, she died at her home. I was Living in the Village at the time so perhaps this was the street lore.

This was great. It was so nice to hear someone singing a song I know in a key that so closely matched my comfortable range. We sounded great together! Actually, she sounded great and I just sounded.

According to Wikipedia, she died in her NYC apartment.

From Wikipedia: On February 7, 2009, after a long illness[7] and failing health,[9] Dearie died in her sleep[9] of natural causes[5] at her apartment in Greenwich Village, according to her representative and manager Donald Schaffer.[5][7] She was survived by her older brother Barney as well as a nephew and a niece.[5][2] She was cremated, and her ashes were interred in Falls Church, Virginia.
