Index card signed "Sincerely" by singer Kate Smith
Autograph sentiment signed "Sincerely/Kate/Smith". Pencil
notations on verso in unknown hand. 5x3 card. Known as the "Songbird of the
South", Smith (1907-1986, born Kathryn Elizabeth Smith in Washington,
DC) was one of the most popular stars of the pre-WWII era. She is best
remembered for her definitive version of the patriotic anthem God Bless
America, which became a hit on no less than three separate occasions,
beginning in 1938. A radio, television and recording star for five decades,
Smith is also known for the song she co-wrote, When The Moon Comes Over The
Mountain, which became her theme song when The Kate Smith Show
debuted on radio in May 1931. In 1950, she became a pioneer in daytime
television programming with The Kate Smith Hour, which ran for four
years. Later, The Kate Smith Show (1960) ran only one season, and Smith
slowed her pace after the death of her longtime manager, Ted Collins, in 1964,
making only occasional appearances in nightclubs and on television shows.
