During the time my wife and I were at the New York State Fair, my most
pleasurable moments were spent in listening to Cindy Miller sing and perform. I mention both facets of her extreme talents because I sincerely felt that we were being entertained by the most talented person we had seen or heard in all our many years in show business. … If it wasn't for the fact she is so
extremely talented, I would not have written to you, but because of my many years working and producing such talents as Judy Garland, Mitzie Gaynor, Red Skelton, Sammy Davis Jr., Jack Benny, George Burns, I just couldn't keep myself from explaining my feelings in the hope that it would give Cindy an accurate picture of where she stands in the total field of showbiz.…

"A while back I was given a copy of your "Love You Madly" CD. I was impressed with your musicianship and the lovely sound you make. … If I could find one thing that I would change it's the fact that there isn't really enough of you. … No one in the current crop of singers can touch you vocally…I wish you much success and look forward to your next CD with more YOU!
Regards, Paul"
