  • Margaret Whiting (born July 22, 1924, Detroit, Michigan) is a singer of American popular music who first made her reputation during the 1940s and 1950s. Margaret's musical talent may have been inherited; her father Richard Whiting, was a famous composer of popular songs. She also had an aunt, Margaret Young, who was also a singer and popular recording artist in the 1920s. In her childhood her singing ability had already been noticed, and at the age of only seven she sang for singer-lyricist Johnny Mercer, with whom her father had collaborated on some popular songs. In 1942, Mercer started Capitol Records and signed Margaret to one of Capitol's first recording contracts.
  • Margaret Whiting, cantante melódica estadounidense. Es discutida su filiación jazzística, en tanto en ocasiones se pueden observar en sus interpretaciones cierta capacidad de improvisación y cierto sentido del swing. Margaret Whiting fue una de las cantantes pop que dominaron la escena musical de los años cuarenta y cincuenta. Su voz es clara y con un punto de inocencia, especialmente adecuada para baladas de gran sensibilidad como It Might As Well Be Spring y Moonlight in Vermont. Hija del compositor Richard Whiting, su carrera de éxitos comenzó a principios de los cuarenta cuando actuó en espectáculos radiofónicos, cantando con el vocalista y compositor Johnny Mercer. Fue más tarde una destacada vocalistas en las orquestas de Freddie Slack, Billy Butterfield y Paul Weston. Consiguió tres grandes éxitos en 1948 con Now Is the Hour, A Tree in the Meadow y Far Away Places y con Jimmy Wakely en 1949 con Slippin' Around. Ambos cantantes formaron un exitoso dúo durante años. A principios de los setenta apareció otra vez en primera línea en una gira con los conjuntos de Bob Crosby y otros.
