American jazz singer.
Born 29 January 1932 in Harrison, New Jersey.
Died 13 April 1960 in New York City, New York (age 28).
Kenney's career began as a birthday singer for Western Union. Her big break came in October 1955, when she was featured in a Jazz Benefit concert for Israel at Carnegie Hall, sharing the bill with Miles Davis, Art Blakey, Tito Puente, and Marian McPartland.
She remains a cult figure in Japan, where all of her albums have been reissued on CD and have remained in print on a relatively steady basis. SSJ Records in Japan released three collections of previously unreleased material.
