Chanteuse US née Julie Marlene Bedra, le 27 juin 1924 à Old
Forge (Pennsylvanie). Rosalie Allen a débuté sur la radio locale WORK de York (Pennsylvanie) à la fin des années trente. Elle devient professionnelle en 1943 à New York, chantant au "Swing Billy Show" sur WNEW. Rosalie enregistre alors pour Deluxe Records, sous le nom de Tex Grande. Elle passe ensuite chez Langworth Transcription puis chez RCA Records en 1946. Rosalie Allen fut élue "Pioneers Queen" par le Colorado's CMA
en 1962. Rosalie Allen est décédée le 24 septembre 2003 à Van Nuys (Californie).
One of the
first wave of female country stars, Rosalie Allen recorded several hits during
the late '40s as a singing cowgirl and yodeler in the
Patsy Montana tradition. Born Julie
Marlene Bedra on June 27, 1924, she grew up in a large, poor Pennsylvania family.
Inspired by the singing cowboys of the '30s, she taught herself to sing and play
guitar, and began working on the radio in Wilkes-Barre, PA. She moved to New
York in the early '40s, and sang with the Swing Billies and also with Zeke
Manners, where she met her future duo partner,
Elton Britt. Allen's first hit came
in 1946 with RCA Victor; the update of
Patsy Montana's "I Want to Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart" hit number five and was
later trumped on the country charts by its B-side, "Guitar Polka (Old
Monterey)," which reached number three.
During the late '40s, Allen became quite famous in New York as a major promoter
of country music. She hosted a TV show in New York as well as the WOV radio
program Prairie Stars, and her writing appeared in columns for National Jamboree
and Country Sound Roundup. Her Rosalie Allen Hillbilly Music Center in New York
was the first specifically country record store in the nation.
Allen's final two chart hits paired her with
Elton Britt, the yodeler famous in
the mid-'40s for "There's a Star-Spangled Banner Waving Somewhere." Their first
single, "Beyond the Sunset," hit number seven in 1950; it was followed closely
by the number three "Quicksilver." The duo also recorded an album for Waldorf
Records in the mid-'50s — now released as Starring Elton Britt and Rosalie
Allen on the Grand Award label. Also, two albums of Allen's solo recordings
are available as German imports. . Later in life, Allen retired to Alabama and
eventually settled in California. In 1999 her work in radio was recognized and
she was inducted into the Country Music Disc Jockey Hall of Fame. After a brief
battle with congestive heart failure, Allen passed away on September 24, 2003.
