Several years ago, I had the pleasure of hearing one of the most interesting voices extant... one that brings to mind the tonal qualities of a Florence Foster Jenkins or a Mrs. B. J. Fangman.

The voice belongs to Mrs. Elva Miller, a charming lady who lives in the pretty little Hollywood suburb of Claremont, California, with her husband, Mr. Miller.

As a young girl, Elva was very inter¬ ested in music and took vocal lessons for seven years. The impeccable dic¬ tion found in her singing style is prob¬ ably due, in part, to the fact that she has listened to opera recordings very closely. As you recall, Mrs. Miller was one of the founders of the Foothill Drama and Choral Society ... in which she served as executive secretary.

At the request of her family she stopped singing in public because of the strain of becoming too involved in public life ... so in place of her many civic appearances, she took up record¬ ing ... and for the last seven years, Mrs. Miller has been driving to Hollywood from Claremont to make recordings for herown pleasure.

As in many show business stories, a gentleman connected with the industry was immediately impressed by the singer’s ability . . . and the wheels of progress began to grind! The gentle¬ man was Fred Bock, ingenuous young organist and arranger. Fred apparently was so whelmed by Mrs. Miller’s re¬ cordings that he broughtone of them to the attention of Lex de Azevedo (pro-

nounced Lex) who came up with the concept of this album you’re hearing.

Gonna Be Like That was written especially for Elva by her producer to demonstrate her “flexibility” in singing everything from religious music to hard core rock and roll... running the musi¬ cal gamut, so to speak.

Her recent success has certainly not gone to her head ... as a matter of fact, following her scintillating “Downtown” session of singing and whistling ... Mrs. Miller did a turn about... she modestly asked for the autographs of Harland, the engineer, Merv, the maintenance fellow, and Louise, the stenographer who works for Belvin, at Du-Par’s Restaurant.

Mrs. Miller explained her theory of using ice in the mouth prior to whis¬ tling, to achieve utmost pitch. “The skin expands and contracts depending on heat and cold . . she continued . . . “therefore the pitch can be better con¬ trolled in this manner!” This method is now being experimented with, and un¬ dergoing tests at several midwestern schools.

So, much success to Mrs. Miller . . . when you hear the Miller Sound I’m sure you’ll agree ... that here is a most interesting new voice for your record collection.
