Ann Dee, born Angela Maria De Spirito, a singer and San Francisco club owner who helped boost the careers of Johnny Mathis and other entertainers. During that period, she became better known as the owner of Ann's 440 Club in San Francisco's North Beach area, where she showcased young singers and comedians. In 1955, she hired a 19-year-old named Johnny Mathis after hearing him sing in a bar just two weeks into his professional career. Dee also gave early exposure to entertainers Lenny Bruce, Fran Jeffries, TC Jones and Charles Pierce. By the 1960s, Dee was recording for Capitol Records and had long engagements at such venues as Ye Little Club in Beverly Hills. A Los Angeles Times writer, reviewing her performance at the Wilshire Ebell Theater in 1973, praised her as "a sophisticated singer with a big, belting voice, fine vocal technique and great interpretive skill." He called her delivery of "Free Again" a "masterpiece of irony" and her singing of "Send in the Clowns" an exa! mple of "pure class." Dee died March 22 at her home in Joshua Tree, Calif., of unspecified causes. She was 85. Dee is survived by a brother, Lee De Spirito. ...................................................................................... Lyrics_ The Sun in my life is a must _It's something that I've learned to trust _It's something to warm your body and your brain _Down comes the Sun like a flame _And then one day _Down comes the rain _And when my Sun isn't here _The sad days the grey days appear
