Ann Dee, a singer and San Francisco club owner who helped boost the careers of Johnny Mathis and other entertainers, has died. She was 85. Dee died March 22, 2005 at her home in Joshua Tree, Calif., of unspecified causes. Born Angela Maria De Spirito, Dee had some success in her youth as a cabaret and supper club singer. But for several years, she suffered vocal problems. 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. Columbia Records' George Avakian was persuaded to visit the 440 Club to hear Mathis and signed him to a recording contract. Dee also gave early exposure to entertainers Lenny Bruce, Fran Jeffries, T.C. Jones and Charles Pierce. By the 1960s, Dee had regained her singing voice and, in addition to recording for Capitol, had long engagements at such venues as Ye Little Club in Beverly Hills. The late Times critic and jazz expert Leonard Feather, reviewing one of those engagements in 1968, said Dee lacked emotional involvement and "stresses force rather than feeling." But another 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 example of "pure class." Dee is survived by a brother, Lee De Spirito.
