Editor's note

Pam Russo, a jazz-pop singer with a direct delivery

She sang with Spyro Gyra before a solo career that spanned nine albums.

For her blend of training and directness, try 'All For You' or 'Might As Well Forget.' They're good examples of how she sounded.

Her 1988 debut 'Mood Swings' gave us 'A Girl Like Me,' a top 10 Adult Contemporary hit that still turns up on quiet storm playlists. She worked with players like David Sanborn and Steve Gadd, but kept her voice upfront and unadorned on songs like 'It Works For Me' and 'I Want You For My Own.' That mix of jazz chops and pop clarity held steady across the '90s.

Russo started out singing with the fusion band Spyro Gyra in the early '80s. Her solo records moved between jazz and pop, backed by a regular band that included guitarist John Benitez and drummer Steve Johns.
