Lightly and Politely is a 1960 album by the American jazz singer Betty Roché. This was the last album Roché recorded.[2]
Scott Yanow reviewed the album for AllMusic and wrote: "It is ironic that what is arguably singer Betty Roché's finest all-around recording was also her last". Yanow wrote that "Roché improvises constantly and uplifts a variety of superior standards...It's recommended, particularly to jazz fans not aware of Betty Roché's musical talents".[2]
