Hello, my dear friend. Thank you for your note: I understand. You probably notice I am not able to come to boomers often either [due to recent hospitalisation and health issues] but I always enjoy checking out your visits and messages though I rarely write - I simply send comment graphics. I hope things work out well for you. xo

Over four million of her records had been sold by 1934, following the peak of her popularity.
In her ten-year recording career, she recorded about 250 sides. In a 1934 poll conducted by Radio Stars magazine, she received the title of best female popular singer. Second place went to Ethel Shutta, third place went to Ruth Etting, and fourth place went to Kate Smith.
