She went her own way, however, to pursue a solo career and toured in Europein 1937, where she in a Parisian club was noticed by the critic and producer Leonard Feather. Thanks to Feather she made in May 1938 in London her first recordings. In London she spent a time in the hospital, where she was looked up by Waller when he had to play in England. In late 1939, she made her most famous in America, recording a duet with Fats Waller: "I Can't Give You Anything But Love". The recording was released on Bluebird, a sublabel of Victor, and it would not be her last recordings for this label, because there were several sessions, including one with saxophonist Lester Young.

After the end of the ban on the inclusion of plates, in 1944, she went for Davis ' record labels, such as "I'm a Good, Good Woman", released on Joe Davis Records. They made numerous recordings for labels, later they also took on Davis for Savoy and Columbia (footage of Don Redman). In the 1940s and early 1950s, she had her own radio and television programs. Poor health forced her to move away from show business in 1952.
