I love
Lee Wiley. Her singing has accompanied me from move to move and on many a trip. A bad day feels better after I've listened to her for awhile. Even though her range wasn't large, she packed a lot of feeling into her singing. There's a certain world weariness to her voice that keeps its beauty from being too sweet or cloying. I've always tried to learn more about her. I stumbled upon a Japanese TV documentary online with an English translation. After
her husband's death, Japanese actress-singer
Nobuko Miyamoto heard a Lee Wiley song. Wiley's voice reached her. She, too, wanted to learn more about Lee Wiley. The videos below document her search.
