Lola Dee, the singer whose vocals could be heard on the hit 1950s song Pretty Eyed Baby, has died aged 95.

Born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1928, Dee – born Lorraine DeAngelis – started singing at a very early age.

After a few years of performing as a child, when she was a teenager, Dee appeared on a national show at American Broadcasting Company called Junior Junction.

The late singer signed a record contract with Mercury Records, leading to her releasing hits including Pretty Eyed Baby, Hitsity Hotsity and Paper Roses.

She died of natural causes in a nursing facility in Hinsdale, Illinois, her publicist and CD producer Alan Eichler said, Variety reported.

When Dee first signed her record contract, she went by the name Lola Ameche, after her mother’s maiden name.
