Kitty Kallen I suppose the obvious would have to be Vera Lynn, Anne Shelton, etc.from Britain but there are lots of others especially those from America - many of whom were/still are popular such as Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, Teresa Brewer and a personal favourite if mine - Keely Smith who often sang with her husband New Orleans band leader Louis Prima - check her out on YouTube! I'm surprised no one has mentioned Edith Piaf (French) or Marlene Dietrich (German, but became an American citizen before the war), two iconic European singers of the era. |
