Little-heard but well-loved: "Torch" by Carly Simon started a trend of singers recording albums of standards.

"The Very Best of Roberta Flack"

What a career she's had, without a lot of the fanfare of other artists.

I have never been mellow. I have never tried.

Lots of thoughts, but the first one that comes to mind is Blue by Joni Mitchell.

No favorite mellow album comes to mind, but I do have a favorite mellow artist, Santana, and a favorite mellow song, Samba Pa' Ti.

Mellow? Pretty much anything by Julio Iglesias.

Dark Side of the Moon is the first album I thought about when I saw the title of this post.

I find it the perfect album to fall asleep to or nap to.
