Ann Richards was a better singer than she was often given credit for, but her career fell short of its potential. She was self-taught on piano and started taking singing lessons when she was ten. Richards began singing professionally in the San Francisco Bay area and played a short stint with <a href="spotify:artist:4SPws2VXOmZIiRTp75mzsb">Charlie Barnet</a>. She joined <a href="spotify:artist:27hSR8e34ZM5vj5fUFixyb">Stan Kenton</a>'s band for a few months in 1955; they were married and she was a part-time singer throughout their marriage (which lasted until 1961). Richards recorded a few pleasing and swinging albums on her own for <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Capitol%22">Capitol</a>, <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Atco%22">Atco</a>, and <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Vee+Jay%22">Vee Jay</a>. She died by suicide in 1982, at the age of 46. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
