Smith, Kate (1909-1986)

US singer. Star of the Kate Smith Hour 1950-54 on National Broadcasting Company television, she returned with CBS's Kate Smith Show in 1960. With her ‘classic’ voice, she sustained her popularity during many years when much of the entertainment business was moving in other directions.

She was born in Greenville, Virginia. She was discovered while appearing on Broadway as the contralto lead in Flying High (1930). She began her radio show on CBS in 1931, immortalizing ‘God Bless America’ in 1938. During World War II she toured widely to sell war bonds and entertain the troops.
