Well she was way before my time too but I have 3 of of her albums. I was always interested in the music my parents liked and though sadly my parents have passed over 20 yrs ago and I am up in age too I still like her music. I also liked Enrico Caruso and Mozart too.

Pat Wells, So?

Figured it was Carter or Etting and went the wrong way.

People who lived when she was popular undoubtedly were familiar with her, but that doesn't include most of the people who are alive today. In 50 years, no one will know who Elvis was.

I've heard the harvest moon song quite a bit, but not familiar with her.

Being familiar with three of the options left only one to choose, the correct one.

I have to say, that Actress/Singer Ruth Etting, was quite the "busy bee" in the entertainment industry back in the day.

Jack Kircher, you would have to have any interest in both old & new "Hollywood Celebrities" to know the answer.

Lewis Thurston, it's simply called putting in the work by way of researching the subject matter.

Barbara Greer, the moment I saw Singer Rosemary Clooney's name. I almost jumped on the answer. I have been familiar with her work for quite sometime.

Alright I had to guess at that one but I did get it right .

Not familiar with any of the names so had to guess. Went with my old standby, 'which name fits her?' It worked.

I am a 40 yo man, how would I know who this is?

As a child I listen to my grandmothers records - recording from 20's and 30's. I still enjoy musicals from that period.
