Thread Name: Lyr/Meanings Songs By Wini Beatty
Subject: Lyr/Meanings Songs By Wini Beatty
So I'm making this thread for songs by Wini Beatty. Not much is known about her (at least online), so I decided I'd sort of gather it here, and post some lyrics/meanings to some songs of hers.

Key Records was a right-wing record label started in 1955/6 in Los Angeles, CA, by Vick Knight[1]. Though it did release some original music, it mostly released speeches.[2]

So now about Wini Beatty. Before she got political, "Miss Beatty's specialty songs [were] based on lamented love. An album she has made of those renditions for Key Records, by the way, has won her fame as the 'Losers Weepers Girl.' It was during an engagement at Howard Manor two years ago that Wini developed the special talent for selling a song dealing with frustrated romance. She was advised at the time to concentrate on this technique. She did and it proved to he the turning point in her career, leading to her lucrative contract with Key Records. Miss Beatty is a native of Arkansas. but received her education in Southern California schools. Her musical career was launched while she was an undergrad at Fullerton Junior College. Disk Jockey Al Jarvis heard her and opened the door to her first exposure to radio as a singing pianist. This led to her first waxing experience as a jazz pianist."
