Kay Starr was an American pop and jazz singer born on July 21, 1922, in Dougherty, Oklahoma, USA. She achieved considerable success during the 1940s to the 1960s and passed away on November 3, 2016, in Beverly Hills, California, USA. Starr was married to a bandleader from 1951 to 1954 before their divorce. In the early 1940s, she sang with various orchestras and was a substitute for another singer in a band during the summer of 1939. She is now perhaps best remembered for her seasonal classics, including "The Man With The Bag" and "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm," both of which were remixed in the 2000s and frequently featured in commercials and television specials during the Christmas season. Throughout her career, Starr charted forty-one times between 1948 and 1967, including 14 top ten songs. Some of her notable hits include "Hoop-Dee-Doo" (#2 U.S., 1950), "Wheel of Fortune" (#1 U.S., 1952), "Comes A-Long A-Love" (#9 U.S., #1 UK, 1952), "Side by Side" (#3 U.S., 1953), and "Rock and Roll Waltz" (#1 U.S., 1955).
