At
the
age
of
14,
Southern
belle
Jane
Pickens
attended
The
Curtis
Institute
of
Music
where
she
became
an
accomplished
pianist
and
singer
who
furthered
her
musical
studies
in
Paris,
and
took
her
master's
at
The
Juilliard
School
of
Music.
Back
in
New
York,
her
sisters
Helen
and
Grace
joined
her
and
the
trio
formed
The
Pickens
Sisters.
Their
big
break
came
when
NBC
Radio
hired
them.
Promoted
as
"Three
Little
Maids
From
Dixie",
they
appeared
in
"Thumbs
Up"
on
Broadway
and
in
a
movie,
"Sitting
Pretty".
When
the
trio
disbanded
Jane
went
to
work
as
a
single
as
a
soloist
with
The
New
York
Philharmonic
and
The
Philadelphia
Orchestra.
She
had
her
own
radio
program
on
NBC
and
kept
up
quite
a
pace
with
her
Saturday
Night
Party
radio
show
each
week
and
radio
appearances
6
nights
and
2
afternoons
every
week.
Jane
was
now
the
toast
of
the
Manhattan
club-and-radio
circuit.
Broadway
then
beckoned.
Jane
appeared
in
"The
Ziegfeld
Follies"
of
1936
and
1937
before
starring
opposite
Ed
Wynn
in
"Boys
And
Girls
Together"
in
1940.
In
1949
she
won
raves
for
starring
on
Broadway
in
the
lead
of
"Regina",
the
Marc
Blitzstein
musical
version
of
"The
Little
Foxes"
before
her
final
stage
appearance
in
1951
as
Frieda
Hatzfeld
in
the
revival
production
of
Jerome
Kern-Oscar
Hammerstein's
"Music
in
the
Air".
The
show
was
not
a
success.
RCA
Victor
had
announced
a
cast
recording
but
it
did
not
materialise
due
probably
to
the
failure
of
the
show.
Instead,
an
album
was
issued
featuring
only
Jane,
accompanied
by
Al
Goodman
and
his
Orchestra
and
Chorus.
Long
unavailable,
the
record
has
been
much
sought
after
by
her
fans
so
it
is
wonderful
that
this
album
has
now
been
re-issued
in
it's
entirety
along
with
bonus
tracks,
many
of
which
were
performed
regularly
by
Jane
on
her
radio
show
or
in
her
concerts.
