Label: Wallis Original Record Corp.
On record: "The Ruth Wallis Story" -- Uncensored!Ruth Wallis. Despite virtually no airplay and limited distribution her recordings sold very well, with all those double-entendre lyrics like those of "The Dinghy Song," and "Johnny Had a Yo-Yo." Wallis had much to be admired, like founding her own label in 1952, imagine, doing that in the early '50's. But the writer of this article's interest is in her 'gay' songs, she was one of the first to touch on the taboo subjects of the time, like homosexuality but she always did so in a way that was not mean-spirited.
