Jenny Howard was often called The Poor Man's Gracie Fields as she recorded many cover versions of Gracie Field's songs. This reflects just a small part of her popular career, as she was a star in her own right in films and on the stage as well as her recordings. A native of Walthamstow, she initially appeared with Percy King who became her husband and manager. In 1940, Jenny Howard took up permanent residence in Australia.
