Kendall Calls It Quits After Long Singing Career

JPR News

Leslie Kendall has the kind of singing voice that makes people widen their eyes and ask "who's THAT?" 

We'll answer that question as we visit with Leslie, who recently retired from singing after a long career.  Her work includes singing with jazz and swing bands large and small, and cutting records for three different record companies. 

She's lived in Ashland for years now.  She stops by to share some highlights and some recordings.  Leslie says she WILL continue to teach other singers.
