Nancy Sue Wilson (1937-2018) was an American jazz singer whose career spanned over five decades, from the mid-1950s until her retirement in the early-2010s. She was especially notable for her version of the standard “Guess Who I Saw Today?” Her career was riding high in 1964 when, in her film debut, director Don Siegel chose her to sing in the classic remake of the noir film The Killers. That same year she was also a Grammy Award Winner for Best New Artist, and had her biggest hit single with “(You Don’t Know) How Glad I Am” (Capitol, 1964). (Wikipedia)
