Jazz buffs still discourse and dissent over what precisely qualifies a “jazz singer”. However, for sensuality, rhythmic impulse and musicality, Lee Wiley may now appear an easy counterpart of the best black vocalists of her generation; albeit in fairness both her genesis and evolution within that classification were both sketchy and protracted. Her full recognition was delayed partly by her commercial under-recording, partly by the self-generated and stage-managed mystique with which she surrounded herself, and partly by her early retirement. At first a novelty vocalist, a “canary” crooner with a “breathy, little-girl sound”, Wiley later did sterling if scarce recording work with dance-bands led by The Dorseys, Glen Gray, Johnny Green, Leo Reisman and Victor Young, before teaming with Bing Crosby on the radio. However, like Mildred Bailey and Connee Boswell, her style soon assumed the more distinct jazz connotations of Ethel Waters and, while she was perhaps never an improviser in the strictest sense, her distinctively warm gossamer tone, clear diction and sensitive feeling for lyrics had by the late 1930s already earned her a special niche in the jazz fraternity.
