Career
In the early 1940s, Johnson sang with the Les Brown Orchestra under the name Betty Bonney. Her biggest hit was How Little We Know, written by Hoagy Carmichael and Johnny Mercer for the character played by Lauren Bacall in the film To Have and Have Not. Most of the kinescopes of "Your Show Of Shows" were discarded by National Broadcasting Company so few video appearances of Johnson remain.
In one remaining film clip Johnson sings a cover of the Four Lads song "Number, Not Much!".
Her last television singing appearance was on 1959"s The Arthur Murray Party.
