The first song I ever heard of hers was You Belong To Me. That song is super good, but it isn't as good as I thought it was the first few times I heard it. It was one of the first songs I ever bought on iTunes. Now, when I listen to it, it is a little bit boring, but that's only because I have heard it so many many many times.
Jo Stafford did a whooooole lot of singing. She was in a few singing groups. One i'm pretty sure was called the Stafford Sisters. And another the Pied Pipers. I love when she sings with other groups. But she also sounds absolutely beautiful singing alone too. Now, no matter how much i'd like to keep the joy and perfection you feel when you hear her sweet voice to myself, i'm going to share it with all of you. If you want to be blown away by the most beautiful singing in all the history of Earth itself, listen to this list of songs sung by Jo Stafford... (This doesn't at all make me like Annette Hanshaw and Ruth Etting any less.)

Please look her up on youtube and listen to as many songs of hers as you can. She is such a good singer. So much better than all the singers of today. If you don't believe me, take a listen to one of these songs and you'll know what I mean.
Here's a few pictures...
