Helen Kane - popular on my channel
I have 556 videos on my YouTube channel and Helen Kane is the most popular, and most viewed. Especially “I wanna be loved by you” which has 38k views. I do have a lot of other great records. Blues, Jazz, and early music from the Acoustic era. That doesn’t receive as many views. Mostly because Helen Kane’s voice is unique and recognizable, also people thought she was the voice for Betty Boop. Who was actually voiced by Mae Questal.

Actually, Helen Kane was the inspiration for Betty Boop.
From Wikipedia:
Kane's voice and appearance were thought to be a source for Fleischer Studios animators when creating Betty Boop. Kane attempted to sue the studio for claims of stealing her signature "boop-oop-a-doop" style, but the judge decided that the proof of this was insufficient, thus dismissing the case.[2] Fleischer Studios later admitted that Kane had been the inspiration for Betty Boop.[3]
