When a great singer lets her voice float out over the anonymous crowd, or form the grooves of thousands of records, or flow through radios into millions of homes across the world, she makes countless unknown connections with people. The singer has her story and the listener hers, and should those stories touch each other, there can be magic.

In Songs for Nobodies, we meet five unknown women who are touched by the great singers seen to be living the dream: Judy Garland, Patsy Cline, Edith Piaf, Billie Holiday and Maria Callas.
