Lucy Ann Polk (born May 16, 1928) is an American jazz and big band vocalist. Polk is perhaps best known for her period with Les Brown's orchestra in the mid-fifties, a time when the band was considered to be at its best, featuring such talents as tenor saxophonist Dave Pell and trumpeter Don Fagerquist [Yanow, Scott. "Jazz: a Regional Exploration". Page 77. Greenwood Press, 2005.] . She also sang and recorded with several other bands, including Kay Kyser's and Tommy Dorsey's. Polk won the Downbeat "Best Girl-Singer with Band" award in 1951, 1952, 1953 and 1954 [Siegfried Holzbauer's Biography [http://www.advancedpoetx.com/MUSIK/LUCYANNPOLK.PDF] ] . She released three solo albums, only one of which has been reissued on CD, 1957's "Lucky Lucy Ann". Polk performed as recently as 2005 in Playa Del Rey, California.
