************************************************************************** The latest series of Mastercard commercials have tv and movie stars imploring Mastercard to help them (eg, Lorretta Swit: "Mastercard, I'm hungry!") and them they roll a set of flashy footage to soothe the actor/ actress. My question: The Mastercard ad with Pierce Brosnan (Remington Steele) (he asks, "Mastercard, I want to do nothing!") has a terrific female (I think it's a female) vocalist singing a jazzy, scat version of the Mastercard theme (...so worthy, so welcome, Mastercard International..). It's the highlight of the commercial and the singer's voice sends chills up my spine! Does anyone know who the singer is? Mike Clifford ihuxb!mcal

The major redeeming value these ads have is that they provide me with comic relief. (I do think that Scatwoman has a good voice, but what a waste.) I find the whole notion of graceless morons waving their Mastercards International, complaining that they're bored, offensively humorous. "Tonight the ballet, tomorrow, Broadway." "I bought my baubles in Bimini, I bought my SCUBA in Aruba." "Schlitz Light." How terribly impressive. Sometimes, when I'm bored, walking down the street, go into Mastercard International mode. What a riot.

Just think of the air time they'd save.
