Biography

Elva Ruby Connes (October 5, 1907–June 28, 1997), who recorded under the name Mrs. Miller, was an American singer who gained some fame in the 1960s for her versions of popular songs like “Moon River”, “Monday, Monday”, “A Lover’s Concerto”, and “Downtown” rendered in an untrained, operatic, vibrato-laden voice, often out of tune and off the beat. Her whistling, which was equally wobbly and apparently preceded by Mrs. Miller chilling her lips with ice to better control the pitch (“to get a really good pucker”), also featured on a number of her records.
