Yes! Lena is one of the greatest dramatic pop singers of all time. I really enjoy her recordings from the 50s and early 60s. She was at her vocal peak, so her voice was loud and strong but she was also less inhibited in her delivery so occasionally she would riff, growl or hiss in service of the lyric. I imagine she would have been a very exciting performer to see live.

I'd recommend the following LPs: "Give The Lady What She Wants", "Lovely & Alive" and "Feelin' Good."
