Subject: Kay Starr, Pop Vocalist Who Found Country Success, Dead at 94
Written By: Philip Eno on 11/05/16 at 6:05 pm
Pop singer Kay Starr, who made successful forays into country music in the early 1950s, died Thursday (Nov. 3) at her home in Los Angeles. She was 94 and had been suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.
Starr was born Katherine Starks on July 21, 1922, in Dougherty, Oklahoma. Her family afterward lived in Dallas and then Memphis, Tennessee.
Gifted with a powerful yet intimate voice, she first attracted attention via a talent contest when she was 7. By the time she was 10, she had her own local radio show in Dallas. Her repertoire throughout these early stages of her career leaned heavily toward what was then called “hillbilly” music.

My thoughts exactly! :o :\'(
Living to 94 was certainly an accomplishment for her. And I have heard some of her music. :)
