LaMott
was renowned for a versatile singing voice, clear phrasing and her
ability to emotionally connect to the songs she performed. Kathie Lee Gifford,
a fervent LaMott fan who helped to make the singer known to many
outside New York cabaret circles, saddened millions with the on-air
announcement of the singer's death from uterine cancer in December of
1995 at the age of 41. LaMott completed six albums--"My Foolish Heart,"
"Beautiful Baby," "Come Rain or Come Shine: The Songs of Johnny
Mercer," "Just in Time for Christmas" and "Listen
to My Heart;" "What's Good About Goodbye?" as well as "Nancy
LaMott-Live at Tavern on the Green" were released posthumously.
