Hello, everyone! I am hoping the community could assist me in identifying the following track. The person that posted the below video claims it is a Nancy Wilson recording. Comments on this video seem to disagree, but no progress on the identity of singer or record have been made. I hope someone more knowledgeable could assist and reply. Please and thank you. 

 

Sounds similar to Petula Clark.

That's almost as bad as the comment on the vid suggesting it could be Kathy Kirby! 

Definitely sounding a lot like Nancy Wilson, although - to these ears - a somewhat subdued performance from her if it actually is.

there was a 1968 LP (obscure) Moving Along by Nancy Wilson. Whether this 45 is taken from that i'm not sure.

👍...yes i got 2 of my Jazz titles and artists mixed up. I had Nancy with 'Broadway with Love' & 'Moving Along' with Wes Montgomery shuffled together.

Understandable... but, do you think the singer in the c/u is Nancy?

yes

Sounds like a number of jazz singers that were updating their recordings around 64-67. Some possibles are Della Reese, Ethel Ennis and Margie Day, but I've never heard them do this track. Margie Day does a pretty good Nancy Wilson impersonation on this track, Ain't It the Truth (also done by Roy Hamilton)
