Daughter of jazz guitarist [a307209]. Godmother of [a=Mala Waldron] and [a41398].
She made her debut circa 1930 singing in various nightclubs in Harlem. In early 1933, the producer [a252830] heard her sing and was impressed by her talent. In 1935 he signed her to [l14624] Records. She made her first recordings with [a254768]. Also in 1935 she made her first appearance in a movie, with more roles in the 1940's. From 1939 she started recording songs with notable jazz artists of that time. In the 1950's, her voice was deteriorating as a result of unhappy relationships, heroin use and excessive drinking. In May 1959 she collapsed and was taken to the Metropolitan Hospital in New York City for treatment of liver and heart disease. She was arrested for heroin possession while she lay dying.
