Starr, Kay

Bio copied from Wikipedia: "Katherine Laverne Starks (July 21, 1922 – November 3, 2016), known professionally as Kay Starr, was an American pop and jazz singer who enjoyed considerable success in the 1940s and 1950s. She is best remembered for introducing two songs that became No. 1 hits in the 1950s, "Wheel of Fortune" and "(The) Rock and Roll Waltz". Starr was successful in every field of music she tried: jazz, pop, and country. But her roots were in jazz. Billie Holiday called her "the only white woman who could sing the blues.""
