"The British, who have been dropping :J one rock group after another on US for years, have meanwhile been hoarding one of their national treasures." So wrote John S. Wilson in the New York Times in the fall of 1972. The "treasure" he refers to is Cleo Laine, a singer with a remarkable voice of seemingly limitless range. Musically Cleo has been described as somewhere between Ella .9 Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughn with a little Leontyne Price thrown in for spice. Artistically, I ' she is usually compared to Barbra Streisand. Versatile, you ask? An understatement. Cleo sings blues, jazz, popular songs, folk songs and poems of T.S . Eliot, Odgen Nash, C Shakespeare and John Donne set to music. In addition to singing, she has had a • distinguished acting career. She made her theatrical debut in the Tony Richardson production of "Flesh to A Tiger," and has ro since played the title role in Ibsen's "Hedda Gabler," starred with Robert Morley in "A Time to Laugh," and played both Hippolgta CJ) and Titania in the West End production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream." It seems everything about Cleo Laine is unique. Unlike any other artist in her field (and no one really is sure what her field really is), she has enjoyed acceptance as a "non-pareil" jazz, pop and classical singer with a distinguished acting career. She has succeeded with the very considerable help of her brilliant composer-arranger-saxophonist­ clarinetist husband John Dankworth, in racking up all these achievements without ever officially facing a United States audience until the fall of 1972. Since her U.S. debut, Cleo has made Cleo Laine ••• "I am best at singing and being married to a man who understands that his lady several appearances on the "Tonight Show," would not be at all happy staying at home and ironing his shirts" performed numerous concerts at Carnegie Hall, . the Newport Jazz Festival and made her the East and the Hollywood Bowl in the West. coughed.
