KATHIE KAY

Hallo,

wenn schon Billy Cotton und eine seiner Sängerinnen, Doreen Stephens, Platz in diesem Forum gefunden haben, sollten wir nicht geizig sein und auch die zeitweise Schottin KATHIE KAY würdigen.

Kathie Kay (Kathleen Thornhill) * 20. November 1918 in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, England, + 09. März 2005 in Largs, Ayrshire, Schottland) war eine Sängerin, die in den 50 er und 60 er Jahren für ihre Radio- und Fernsehauftritte in der Billy Cotton Band Show bekannt war. Ihre bekanntesten Aufnahmen sind “We Will Make Love“ und “A House With Love in It“.

Sie begann ihre Karriere als kleines Mädchen bei der berühmten Corona Babes Stage School als Connie Wood und trat dann mit Hughie Green als Schulsprecherin in seiner Gangshow auf. Er war später Trauzeuge bei ihrer Hochzeit.

Sie wurde von Billy Cotton entdeckt und trat 1949 erstmals mit ihm im Radio auf, wechselte zum Fernsehen und blieb bis zum Ende der Show im Jahr 1968. Viele Jahre lang präsentierte sie ihre eigene Sendung im schottischen Fernsehen, wo sie "das Fireside Girl" genannt wurde. Sie wurde mit dem Scottish Impresario Archie McCulloch verheiratet, der im September 97 starb.

Kathie starb im Alter von 86 Jahren in Largs/Schottland an der Alzheimer-Krankheit und wird von drei Söhnen, Stewart McCulloch OBE, Donald McCulloch und Ken McCulloch, überlebt.
