 Signing with RCA, she recorded three albums for the label, beginning with 1956's Bidin' My Time. She also had some minor chart success with the singles "Mr. Wonderful" (which made the Top 20 in 1956), "Married I Can Always Get" and "Say It Isn't So" (both of which made the Hot 100 from 1957–1958).

Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band

Now for something crazy and different !....I have seen this L/P in the record shops for years but not took any notice of it and I have not heard of their work at all...I should have !!....A great "Parody" L/P... doing all kind of funny things with the songs..have a listen and you will get what I mean !...It's Mad Mad Mad !!..But Good

 Gorilla is the debut album by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, originally released by Liberty Records, LBL 83056, in 1967.The album includes "Jazz, (Delicious Hot, Disgusting Cold)" which savagely parodied their early "trad" jazz roots and featured some of the most deliberately inept jazz playing ever recorded—the record company only allowed two hours of studio time per track, so it was completed in a single take to allow for the far more complex "The Intro and the Outro". The band deliberately swapped instruments to increase the degree of incompetence.
