In 1945, aged 17, Brown ran away from her home along with the trumpeter Jimmy Brown to sing in bars and clubs, where she caught the attention of Cab Calloway’s sister Blanche, who became her manager, and she soon signed to “Atlantic” records, where she had a string of hits, by the mid 1970’s she had launched a career in TV, film, and stage, and was still touring at the age of 78.
