Synopsis of the original 1964 story courtesy of comicbookplus:

People say the haunting quality of Bonnie Rand’s voice was what sold records. But the heartbreak in her voice was not feigned. Bonnie would like to quit, but the people whose livelihood depends on her success keep her working. The exception to those people is Jack Orcutt, who sees how her career is ruining her chance for happiness.
