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! Corners lightly worn. Light crease along
bottom right corner. Otherwise, fine condition.
