Ms. ESTHER JONES, known by her stage name, "Baby Esther," was an " African-American singer and entertainer of the late 1920s. She performed regularly at the Cotton Club in Harlem. Singer Helen Kane saw her act in 1928 and stole Ms Jones' 'baby' singing style for a recording of "I Wanna Be Loved By You."
Ms. Jones' singing style went on to become the inspiration for Max Fleischer cartoon character voice and Look of BETTY BOOP , yes a Black Woman.
Her singing trademark Was.. "boop oop a doop ".. In a baby voice at the cotton club in Harlem.
