[78-L] Looking to identify/locate female singer

[Thomas Stern]

Would she remember the name if she heard it?
I don't know when the following were issued/reissued, but there are UK Columbia's by:
  Alice Nielsen
  Eva Turner
  Elsa Stralia

That's the label type I thought she meant. So, over to folks across the pond.
Earl? Tosti's "Good-Bye" on a mid 50s Green label Columbia?

>> When I was a child, a neighbour gave me a heap of 78s which I played over and over again - amongst them was a song called
'Good-bye',  but I couldn't recall who it was sung by.  It was a record I played most of all.  Of course over the years and
growing up, it must have got broken and I no longer have it,  and have been looking for this Song ever since!  However, there was
some confusion - both over the actual Song and who actually sang it;  every search that I do on the Internet, (and of course I was
spelling it without the 'hyphen' which may have confused matters) kept bringing up different Songs with the same title, and ones
that were sung by different people;  it was as if this Song I remember never existed at all - until recently,  when I stumbled
upon the Song at long last,  but being sung by two different Singers on YouTube.

>> Now,  I do know that the one I had was by yet a different Artist than any of the two I have managed to locate - but it is
definitely the same Song.  The two Singers are: 'Rosa Ponselle' and 'Florence Hinkle'.    All I remember is,  is that the copy I
had was a much later recording, (only because the bulk of records I was given were from over around a ten year period - probably
that of say 1948 - 1958)  and had been issued on the 'green' Columbia Record Label.   It was a soprano voice.  (probably an older
lady - but am unsure)  She may well have been English because I live in the United Kingdom,  but again; could be anyone...
