When Rachel Maddow was one of three hosts of Air America Radio's mid-morning show called "Unfiltered," a regular feature of the show was Ambrosia, "the singing Walter Cronkite." Every morning she would sing the same jazzy tune but with different lyrics that were news-specific. Ambrosia's voice was a cross between Billie Holiday and the recently deceased Blossom Dearie. I'm sure they were musical influences.
Since Rachel Maddow has gone solo on the radio, I have not heard Ambrosia. It would be an absolute delight to hear her somewhat velvety voice once again on the radio singing the news.
