While growing up in the 40's i know i heard Helen sing on the various radio programs but i was to young to enjoy or know who she was. Recently i happened to be listening to some Youtube recordings and selected one with Helen singing. I'm hooked. Since then i found a Benny Goodman album with Helen singing Perfidia and several other records with her sound tracks as well. I've also bought 4 CD's with her recordings of which the one "Sweter as the years go by" is my favorite. Anytime i am on the computer now i have her recordings playing in the background, some of them over and over like "I'm in love with the Honourable Mr so and so". I really feel like her being gone was only yesterday and wish i could go back to those years when she was a star performer. I to would be more than happy to help erect a memorable marker for her resting place. She deserves more than she received. I think her best recordings were with Artie Shaw as i like his sound. I wonder what would have happened had she sang for Glenn Miller? What a beautiful lady and i sorely miss her. I wish i had known when she was in Arizona (Phoenix?) as thats where i live. Are there any more pictures around other than her album covers? Contact me if you wish at Telegrapher@Q.com. Thanks and may she sing in the chorus of the angels. Maybe someday we'll meet.
