🌙 Zodiac

Imogene Lynn’s zodiac sign is Virgo. According to astrologers, Virgos are always paying attention to the smallest details and their deep sense of humanity makes them one of the most careful signs of the zodiac. Their methodical approach to life ensures that nothing is left to chance, and although they are often tender, their heart might be closed for the outer world. This is a sign often misunderstood, not because they lack the ability to express, but because they won’t accept their feelings as valid, true, or even relevant when opposed to reason. The symbolism behind the name speaks well of their nature, born with a feeling they are experiencing everything for the first time.

Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Dog are loyal, faithful, honest, distrustful, often guilty of telling white lies, temperamental, prone to mood swings, dogmatic, and sensitive. Dogs excel in business but have trouble finding mates. Compatible with Tiger or Horse.

One of the sweetest-sounding thrushes of the swing era, as well as one of the prettiest, Imogene Lynn began her performing career in 1940 with Emerson Gill's Bamboo Gardens Orchestra in Cleveland. After two years and including other stints with society bands, she joined the drummer Ray McKinley as featured vocalist and became the first wife of one of the band's key sidemen, the saxophonist and clarinettist Mahlon Clark.

Following a brief sojourn with another short-lived big band, that of composer Freddie Slack, her next engagement was with Artie Shaw's Gramercy Five during which time she made her famous RCA recording of "Ac-cent-tchu-ate the Positive".

Other hit numbers during the two-year long tenure with Shaw included "Let's Take the Long Way Home", "On the Atcheson, Topeka and the Santa Fe", "It Might As Well Be Spring", "Together" and "Gotta Be This Or That".

She also accompanied the band on its wartime tours of military bases, theatres and dance halls. After leaving Shaw in 1945, Imogene had a stint with the orchestra of saxophonist/arranger Dave Matthews on the West Coast and subsequently replaced Virginia Rees as lead female vocalist in the Merrymacs vocal quartet.

In 1949, she became a member of The Starlighters (replacing Pauline Byrne).Striking out on her own, Imogene remained in Hollywood. She was featured in films on and off camera, lent her voice to several of Tex Avery's animated shorts at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and dubbed for non-singing stars: Mona Freeman (Mother Wore Tights (1947), Loretta Young (Mother Is a Freshman (1949)) and Vera Miles (Beau James (1957), including a lovely rendition of "Someone To Watch Over Me").

In between, Imogene made commercials for Dial Soap, appeared on television in The Tennessee Ernie Ford Show (1956) and provided backup vocals for, among others, Nat 'King' Cole, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra.

Imogene lived the last seventeen years of her life in Lancaster, California, where she died in February 2003 at the age of eighty.
