HELEN KANE WAS POPULAR SCREEN & RECORDING ARTIST DURING THE LATE 1920'S INTO THE EARLY 1930'S. SHE WAS KNOWN AS "THE BOOP BOOP BA DOOP GIRL" BECAUSE OF HER UNIQUE SINGING STYLE. HER STYLE WAS COPIED IN THE BETTY BOOP CARTOONS OF THE 1930'S. HELEN SUED THE STUDIO THAT PRODUCED THE CARTOONS BUT LOST THE CASE IN COURT. SHE MADE A BRIEF COMEBACK IN THE LATE 1940S'- EARLY 1950'S.

*****************************************************************************

ANNETTE HANSHAW WAS A POPULAR RADIO AND RECORDING ARTIST. KNOWN AS "THE PERSONALITY GIRL", SHE WAS ABLE TO SING IN A VARIETY OF STYLES. SHE SOMETIMES IMPROVISED IN HER RECORDINGS AND THE CATCH PHRASE "THAT'S ALL" WAS USED TO TELL THE RECORDING ENGINEERS THAT SHE HAD FINISHED THE RECORDING. THIS BECAME HER TRADEMARK.
