Vaughn De Leath  was once referred to as the “First Lady of Radio”
and later as “The Original Radio Girl”.  She was born in 1896 and died in 1943.
Her crooning style of singing caught on and was widely
imitated by other stars of the 1920’s.
It was this style which presented her with her first exposure to radio,
a relatively new technology in the 1920’s.
Her first great opportunity came in January of 1920, during a period in which she had predominately making phonograph records.
 
Having come to the attention of Dr. Lee De Forrest, a radio pioneer and the inventor of the vacuum tube triode (a key element required in voice radio transmission at the time), she was invited to sing over his wireless telephone station at 40th street and Broadway in  New York City, in the old World Tower building.
She was very popular in radio and on phonograph records in the 1920’s, 1930’s and into the early 1940’s. She was featured on “The Voice of Firestone” in the 1928-30 seasons. Her radio show was on both NBC and WOR 4 to 5 times per week.  
Her last appearances were made on radio in 1943 a few days before her death from uremic poisoning.

This CD release demonstrates the many singing styles and talents of Vaughn De Leath.
It includes her popular recordings from the Victor, Columbia, Okeh and Brunswick labels.
The period coved by this CD is 1927.
Vaughn displays alot of personality in these recordings.
Most are recorded electrically, so her voice is has more presence than her earliest acoustic recordings.
Many of these sides also have a jazz band accompaniment. 
She is joined on several sides by Irving Kaufman, Ed Smalle and Franklyn Baur.
