Die Pianistin und Sängerin Camille Howard wurde am 29. März 1914 in Galveston, Texas, als Deasy Browning geboren, wuchs aber als Camille Agnes Browning auf und verstarb am 10. März 1993 in Los Angeles, Kalifornien. Ihre Karriere als Pianistin und Sängerin begann etwa 1935, als sie in einem Music-Club in ihrer Geburtsstadt Galveston noch als Camille Browning auftrat.
