Her songs were recorded by generations of celebrities, beginning with
Bing Crosby in 1942. During a trip to Hollywood with her father, she sang
one of her compositions for Larry Crosby, who asked her to return the
next day so that Bing could hear it. He decided to record the song,
"Lone Star Trail". Other hits she wrote include "You Don't Know Me",
"Dream Baby", and the
Gene Autry hit, "Silver Spurs".
