Nora Bayes – 1919
1880-1928
By the age of 18, Nora Bayes was
touring Vaudeville from New York to San Francisco and became a star
on Broadway. In 1908 she helped pen the popular composition “Shine
On, Harvest Moon” with her first husband Jack Norworth. She would
eventually marry four other times. Her popularity peaked during the
war when she was the first performer to record the international hit
“Over There” and performed shows for the soldiers. Nora Bayes recorded
many songs up until her death from cancer in 1928.
