The singer signed this index card in purple ink
Signature: "Hildegarde", 5x3 index card. Hildegarde Loretta Sell (1906-2005)
was popularly known by her first name only or simply as "The Incomparable
Hildegarde". A classically trained pianist who played in vaudeville from 1926,
she emerged as a popular singer in the 1930s and 1940s with hits that included
"Darling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup" (written by her manager Anna Sosenko),
"The Last Time I Saw Paris" and "I'll Be Seeing You". She also had a popular
radio program, Hildegarde's Raleigh Room. The international stardom that
Hildegarde achieved as a live cabaret singer is unparalleled. She was renowned
around the world and, having never married, had many admirers. Some of her
many showmanship innovations include wearing sleeves at every performance and
going by only her first name. These unique calling cards, as well as her
incredible voice and flirtatious manner, broke new ground on the evening
club circuit. In 1961, she published her autobiography: Over 50…So What!
Nicked at upper right edge. Otherwise, fine condition.
