    Just heard an excellent cover of CCR's Bad Moon Rising by Mourning Rituals. I must have it.

    Elva Ruby Connes Miller (October 5, 1907 – July 5, 1996), 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-key renditions of then-popular songs such as "Moon River", "Monday, Monday", "A Lover's Concerto" and "Downtown".

    Singing in an untrained, Mermanesque, vibrato-laden style, according to Irving Wallace, David Wallechinsky and Amy Wallace in The Book of Lists 2, her voice was compared to the sound of "roaches scurrying across a trash can lid."[1]

    Nevertheless, "Downtown" reached the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in April 1966, peaking at #82. The single's B-side, "A Lover's Concerto", barely cracked the Hot 100 that same month at #95.

    I hunted high and low for the above album and it still brings me out in a smile when I listen to it.

    Well worth tracking down
