Jane Turzy

Jane Turzy was a Chicago, Illinois-born singer of traditional pop music.

She succeeded in reaching the popularity charts only in 1951 with three recordings she made for Decca Records. Her biggest hit, "Good Morning, Mister Echo", was credited to The Jane Turzy Trio because she overdubbed her voice twice to mimic the sound of a vocal trio, similar to the multitrack vocal effects heard earlier on ground-breaking hits by Patti Page and Mary Ford. Georgia Gibbs and Margaret Whiting issued competing versions, but Turzy's rendition charted the highest.

She also had a version of Sweet Violets (which competed with a version by Dinah Shore) and a song named I Like It. Turzy continued to release a dozen more singles for Decca through 1954 and then returned to their subsidiary label Coral Records for another single in 1958, Lonely Me and Honey Bee. Her last known release was for the B & F label in 1959, Who Baby Who and Looky Look.
