Elva Ruby Miller (October 5, 1907 – July 5, 1997), who recorded under the name "Mrs. Miller", was an American singer who gained some fame in the 1960s, for her series of shrill and off-tempo renditions of popular songs such as "Moon River", "Monday, Monday", "A Lover's Concerto", and "Downtown". An untrained mezzo-soprano, she sang in a heavy, vibrato-laden style; according to Irving Wallace, David Wallechinsky and Amy Wallace in The Book of Lists 2, Miller's voice was compared to the sound of "roaches scurrying across a trash can lid."

  • Mrs. Miller (Joplin (Missouri), 5 oktober 1907 – Vista (Californië), 5 juli 1997) was een Amerikaanse zangeres. Ze heette oorspronkelijk Elva Ruby Connes, maar nam na haar huwelijk met John Richardson Miller (1872-1968) in 1934 de achternaam van haar echtgenoot aan. Bij haar platenopnamen en optredens noemde ze zich altijd Mrs. Miller. (nl)
  • Elva Ruby Connes, född 5 oktober 1907, död 5 juli 1997, känd som Mrs Miller / Mrs. Miller, var en amerikansk sångerska. Hon blev känd på 1960-talet för sina udda tolkningar av hitlåtar som "Downtown", "Monday Monday" och "Moon River". Hennes röst var oskolad och hon sjöng ofta falskt och ur takt och använde sig flitigt av vibrato. Hon visslade också ofta och om hon glömde bort texten, började hon istället nynna, vilket man kan höra på bland annat "Downtown". Hon drog sig tillbaka 1973. (sv)
