I had an economics professor named Nancy Wilson in my freshman year.  She joked that she wasn't the Nancy Wilson.  I was like .... huh??  Had never heard of the singer!

I remember Nancy Wilson.  My mother and I both liked her very much.  We would watch her on lots of variety shows back in the sixties, and we would always say what a great voice she had, and how pretty she was.

I had forgotten all about her.  That reminds me of Barbara McNair....she was also on TV a lot during that time period.

She was always so elegant and refined . She was the epitome of grace

She has sung every beautiful song and then some.  One of my favorites....

My ship 

My ship has sails that are made of silk,
The decks are trimmed with gold,
And of jam and spice there's a paradise in the hold.

My ship's aglow with a million pearls
And rubies fill each bin,
The sun sits high in a sapphire sky when my ship comes in.

I can wait the years
Till it appears
One fine day one spring,
But the pearls and such
They won't mean much if there's missing just one thing.

I do not care if that day arrives
That dream need never be,
If the ship I sing doesn't also bring
My own true love to me,
If the ship I sing doesn't also bring my own true love to me.

I remember her playing Denise's mother in law  on episode of the Cosby Show, so attractive.

Beautiful voice and an elegant lady

The last record I bought by Nancy was Turned to Blue.  May she rest in peace.

This is such sad news. Nancy Wilson was someone I admired - especially after being taken to a concert when I was very young. After seeing her perform I knew the difference between a Singer and A Song Stylist.

Guess Who I Saw Today was one of her most known and beloved songs. For those who haven't heard it or even if you have, listen to it. Linked below.
