Dionne Warwick? Now that's a singer!
And that "squeaky mouse voice that even to this day is not pleasing to the ears" was on their first flop on Lu-Pine "Tears of Sorrow".

But I wonder why Buttered Popcorn with Flo's voice, "which is pleasing to the ears" was not a hit.

And why, was Pretty Baby with Mary's "non-squeaky mouse voice"not a hit?
