[[Suzanne Vega]] is a woman with a heavenly voice, and equally divine music to cushion it. She's known chiefly by the mainstream for “Luka” & “Tom’s Diner”, but her entire career is something to appreciate.
"Tom's Diner" was used as the reference track in an early trial of the [[MP3]] compression system, earning her the distinction of being the Mother of the [[MP3]]. It was chosen because her a capella vocal with relatively little reverberation was used as the model for Karlheinz Brandenburg's compression algorithm. Brandenburg heard "Tom's Diner" on a radio playing the song. He was excited and at first convinced it would be “nearly impossible to compress this warm a capella voice.”
