African-American mezzo-soprano, born 23 February 1923 in New York, died 13 September 1985 in Richmond, Virginia.
In the 1940s and 1950s, she was a star of musical theater and opera, and was also the off-film ghost singer in several hit movies. She is perhaps best known in the UK for her 1953 #3 hit, "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me", which was first covered in 1965 by Mel Carter (and which remains a staple of easy listening and oldies radio to this day) and later in 1994 by Gloria Estefan.
She died in relative obscurity in 1985.
