KATE SMITH
B/w bust photo of singer Kate Smith in a dark, low-cut evening gown
and earrings, signed "Sincerely"
Photograph signed "Sincerely-/Kate/Smith". B/w, 8x10 overall,
6¾x8¾ image, one surface. 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. Lightly toned and creased,
otherwise in fine condition.
