As I was walking down the street on my way home Joni drove by me waving from the back seat .I walked home on a cloud. Many years later in the sixties I studied voice with Irene Williams who years before had taught voice to Mario Lanza. a few years later I recorded two albums with The London Symphony and one with The Israeli Symphony in Tel aviv. As a tenor I sang under the name of Tony Valenti and shall always be most appreciative of Joni James and how she touched me with her music and sweet love of her fans. A most profound thankyou Joni.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1118','Tony Grau'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1118','Tony Grau','As a young 14 year old lad from Bristol Penna I went to see Joni James who did a personal appearance at a local Firehouse ballroom.

In the age of 3 minutes singing fame, I feel that I am very lucky to discover Joni James while I was a college student. She is an artiste and absolutely unique. She has got all the great taste buds when selecting the materials to sing for an album. Her voice is so pure and crystal clear. Her upper register is a perfection (she doesn't screech like modern day singers). From this interview, you can clearly see that she's an intelligent woman. She's got it all - brain, voice and perfection. I think that she's a legend not because she has got a string of No. 1 hits but because of her intuition as an artist. She exactly knows what songs are right for her (it doesn't matter if the song reaches No. 1 but does it touch people's life?...the young man who had AIDS in your interview is a great example) and she is extremely consistent when it comes to selecting a good song. That's why her songs and albums stand the test of time...it will still be fantastic in many years to come. Thank you so much once again for sharing this information about Joni James whom I greatly admire for a long time.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('734','floppysunhat'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('734','floppysunhat','Thank you so much for this most informative interview with this musical legend.
