I beleive it was Julie London....
Born Julie Peck in 1926, Julie performed this song, which was acctually written by a high school classmate of hers called Arthur Hamilton.
After a prolific music career which helped her release over 30 albums, Julie went on to become a Cocktail Siren (waitress/lounge singer), movie star, club performer, and occasional tv presenter.
In her later years of life, she became known as "The assembly line goddess". She died at the age of 74 in 2000

The only chart hit for both singer and composer, "Cry Me A River" is a staple of the torch song tradition.
Actress/singer Julie London memorably performed the song in the film The Girl Can't Help It. It became a bestseller.

I think it was originally sung by Billie Holiday, but there were subsequently great versions by Julie London, Ella Fitzgerald and Nina Simone. The Joe Cocker rock cover was a cracker as well.

As it's a jazz standard, it's probably been sung by all the good female singers at one time or another.
Julie London's version is definitely one of the best

If you want to know a very good vocal coach try to visit https://tr.im/dyGsr an online vocal coaching tutorial. Everything, ranging from breathing fundamentals, vocalizing exercises, techniques on singing high and low notes, how to not go off-key/out of tune/off-sync, musicianship and music theory, proper diction and articulation, and a lot more are covered, all in our native language. It can be quite technical in nature, but it really helps since it covers the musical aspect of singing deeply and not just concentrates on how to impress people with your vocal range, riffs and runs and other cliches that do not necessarily make one a complete vocalist.

Justin Timberlake. Sounds like a girl, just like Robbie Williams in his new single
