[78-L] Kitty and Judy

[bruce78rpm at comcast.net]

Thanks for sharing that Lee Morse website, I have had her 78's for years but had never seen her. She even appeared in 3 short subject films which are featured on this site, so you can even see Lee singing. What an unexpected treat.

Hi Harold, 

Nope, we're both wrong...I was remembering ( as one recalls a terrible 
accident or tragedy) a record by one Judy Rogers, also billed as a "girl 
baritone," of the lovely song You've Got Me Crying Again. It was an early 
5000 Bluebird, as I recall. I think Ms. Judy might have made some other 
sides around the same time...I hope they're better than the one I heard some 
years ago.

You might be thinking of Lee Morse, who did make a few records for Bluebird 
in 1933... 
Kitty O'Connor recorded only for Columbia, from 1925-28. Gosh, I'd love to 
find out more 
about her. O'Connor's voice does take some getting used to, but I think 
she's pretty good. 
She appeared in a hit Broadway musical in the 1927-28 season, "Take the 
Air", but doesn't 
seem to have made a lasting impact, and I haven't learned anything of her 
activites after 
that point. Her records don't turn up every day, but they don't seem to be 
super-rare, either. 
Has anyone seen a photo of her from the Columbia catalogues? 

Speaking of Lee Morse, her Decca/Coral sides from 1950 demonstrate an even 
deeper 
voice than in her peak years. She has some devoted fans, and a website:

I think she was just suffering from a bad cold...for about ten years (didn't 

she make a couple sides for Bluebird in 1933 or '34?).
