Josephine Sabel
Sabel was a vaudeville performer for many years, billed as "The Queen of Song." She popularized songs including "A Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight", "Somebody Loves Me", and "Bicycle Built for Two". She also sang "coon songs" that caricatured African-American speech and culture, for example "Bye Bye Belinda" (written by H. Y. Leavitt, billed as a "Darktown Triumph") and "Little Alabama Coon", an 1893 hit song written by Hattie Starr. She continued performing late in her life, as a nostalgia act in the 1930s.
