Helen Ward

Among the finest vocalists from the golf swing period, Helen Ward possessed an extremely appealing audio and was always swinging. Although she originally retired quite early with the top of her popularity, fortunately she came back to music often in old age. Ward had taken piano lessons while quite youthful and was performing as an adolescent. She performed on radio place WOR in NY in 1933, became a normal at NBC, and was employed as Benny Goodman’s vocalist for the Let’s Dance radio present in 1934. For another 2 yrs, Ward was a normal appeal with Goodman’s Orchestra, sticking to BG as he became one of the most effective bandleader in the globe. Ward recorded often with Goodman; “Goody Goody” was her strike and other traditional recordings consist of “IT HAS BEEN SUCH A LONG TIME,” “All MY ENTIRE LIFE,” “As well Good to become Accurate,” “These Foolish Stuff,” and “You Made the Desks on Me.” Unlike with a great many other feminine band performers, her vocals didn’t decelerate the music’s momentum. After marrying Albert Marx in past due 1936, Helen Ward retired from energetic performing at age simply 20, although she continuing recording on a reasonably regular basis including with Teddy Wilson and Joe Sullivan, as well as the big rings of Gene Krupa, Bob Crosby (1939), and Harry Adam. Ward became more vigorous in the first ’40s but hardly ever gained back again her previous popularity. She caused Hal McIntyre, Crimson Norvo, Wild Costs Davison (1952), Benny Goodman (an ill-fated 1953 tour), and Peanuts Hucko (1956-1957) plus various other swing-era players. After spending an extended period out of music, Helen Ward became energetic for a while (beginning in the past due ’70s) and documented a new recording in 1979, The Helen Ward Songbook, Vol. 1 (Lyricon); there under no circumstances was a Vol. 2.
