Her biggest hit was "Little Things Mean a Lot" which was #1 for nine weeks in 1954.  Charted 14 times from 1949-1963.  She retired in the 1960s.  Performed with the Jimmy Dorsey, Harry James and Artie Shaw Big Band groups.

Other hits were:

I spent quite awhile listening to her songs on You Tube.  most were ballads, but I really enjoyed "Aba Daba Honeymoon."
