Nancy Wilson, the Grammy-winning "song stylist" and torch singer whose polished pop-jazz vocals made her a platinum artist and top concert performer, has died. 'Song stylist'She resisted being identified with a single category, especially jazz, and referred to herself as a "song stylist." "The music that I sing today was the pop music of the 1960s," she told The San Francisco Chronicle in 2010. Wilson's dozens of albums included a celebrated collaboration with Cannonball Adderley, Nancy Wilson/Cannonball Adderley, a small group setting which understandably could be called jazz; Broadway — My Way; Lush Life; and The Nancy Wilson Show! "He set up a session to record a demo," Wilson later observed during an interview for the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
