A great singer now from across the pond !! and yes a big thanks to "John" for these "goodies" 
I think that she had only one major hit in England !!.which was "Why Don't You Believe Me" that reached no 11 in 1952 !!...on this L/P she does standards and popular songs of the day ...

 She was the first American to record at London's Abbey Road Studios, and recorded five albums there.
