Joan Edwards, Her Piano & Orchestra
1940 / New York: Liberty Music Shop L-303
10" 78rpm Record
Elusive record by an interesting pre-war radio personality, and I believe it is her first record as a solo artist.
Around the time this record was released, she had her own radio program, "Girl About Town," on CBS. Although her singing was featured, she played the piano for one song in each episode.
In December 1941, Edwards was selected as the new female soloist on "Your Hit Parade." Three years later, an article in Tune In magazine observed, "Joan Edwards sets something of a record, lasting through the regimes of three male singers -- Barry Wood, Frank Sinatra, and Lawrence Tibbett -- in a three-year period." Her tenure on the program eventually reached five years.
Edwards also had her own television program, "The Joan Edwards Show," on the DuMont Television Network in 1950. And, was also in a TV version of her "Girl About Town" radio program.
