She sang on radio in the American South and worked with the bands of Bob Crosby, Paul Whiteman, First Rate (at Lloyd's) Katz (1933), Tommy Christian (1934), and Mal Hallett (1934-1937). She left the music industry in 1940 and joined the Women"s Army Corps a short time later, where she sang at war bond rallies and other political events.
She lost her voice as a result of these activities.
She was unable to speak for years and was never again able to sing. Twenty two of the 30 sides she recorded for Decca were reissued on Civil Defense by Timeless Records in 1996.
