This one pains me. Diahann Carroll, Tony-winning actor, singer, TV trailblazer and all-around legend (as well as TV's first, self-described "black bitch"), has legged her way up to the heavens.
Bathe in her creamy-warm tones in one of my favorites, her gorgeously restored 1960 stunner with the Andre Previn Trio. She sounds as beautiful as she looks.
