There is more than one artist with this name:
1) Nancy Sue Wilson (born February 20, 1937, in Chillicothe, OH) is a jazz diva famous for recording American standards in the 60s.
She was among contemporary music’s most stylish and sultry vocalists; while often crossing over into the pop and R&B markets — and even hosting her own television variety program — she remained best known as a jazz performer, renowned for her work alongside figures including Cannonball Adderley and George Shearing. Wilson first attracted notice performing the club circuit in nearby Columbus; she quickly earned a growing reputation among jazz players and fans, and she was recording regularly by the late ’50s, eventually signing to Capitol and issuing LPs including 1959’s Like in Love and Nancy Wilson with Billy May’s Orchestra. Her dates with Shearing, including 1960’s The Swingin’s Mutual, solidified her standing as a talent on the rise, and her subsequent work with Adderley — arguably her finest recordings — further cemented her growing fame and reputation.
In the years to follow, however, Wilson often moved away from jazz, much to the chagrin of purists; she made numerous albums, many of them properly categorized as pop and R&B outings, and toured extensively, appearing with everyone from Nat King Cole and Sarah Vaughan to Ruth Brown and LaVern Baker.

Yo soy very happy escuchando esta hermosa música, soy un man rústico que vive in the village al lado del mediterraneum sean , pero tengo mi corasonsito. Me alegro por el buen presidente que tiene USA, que el buen gobierno influya en los buenos sentimientos y que todo no sea "atrapa la pasta y corre".Uhm viva la civilización y la cultura.

I'm totally with BoringArcade. I've never heard of such a cop-out/lame excuse from a site. Like it's this impossible feat to separate them lol. What if imdb.com or Wiki shared that same attitude? Just bloody well make one (I) or (II) or something like that. Do it. Because I want Nancy Lamoureux Wilson to have her own page as she deserves. If Ann has her own page, so should Nancy.

Both artists fit my charts, so I don't mind if they are separated or not.

This is lame last.fm. There's decent numbers in both artists, they need to find some way of separating the two.

Angel Eyes is the best track, well, maybe Guess Who I Saw Today is a close second, all are so beautiful, haunting & only for mature audiences. No one under 30 should listen, let them stay in teenage grunge land and pout about the high school pimple problems so deep for the their time in life.
