  Georgia Gibbs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Georgia Gibbs (born Fredda Lipson Gibbons, later Fredda Gibson, her date of birth is alternately listed as August 17, 1920 or August 26, 1920 or August 26, 1927) is one of the most popular singers from the early 1950s.
Georgia Gibbs (known at this point in her life as Fredda Gibbons) vowed to make a better life for herself and turned to singing as a means of realizing her dream.
Gibbs signed with Majestic Records in 1946, and while she recorded many great records she would have to wait until 1950 for her first hit single, "If I Knew You Were Coming, I'd Have Baked A Cake" (on the Coral label).

 GEORGIA GIBBS
A constant visitor to the charts in the first half of the 1950s, Georgia Gibbs failed to leave as strong an imprint as many of her fellow stars, at least in part because of her versatility.
Gibbs began singing in Boston ballrooms as a teenager, and made her recording debut in 1938 under her given name, Fredda Gibbons.
And with some good reason: although it would be ridiculous to blame Gibbs for singing material that Mercury selected for her, these covers stole a lot of the thunder from the gutsier original performers, at a time when rock & roll was struggling to gain a foothold in the pop mainstream.

 HER NIBS - Georgia Gibbs - Swinging With Her Nibs - Her Nibs... Miss Georgia Gibbs
Gibbs has been unfairly maligned by rock critics for building her career in the '50s by covering RandB hits of LaVern Baker and Etta James.
In reality she was a genuinely talented pop vocalist, whose jazz-tinged approach reflected years of experience in the big band era, a period when there was no stigma attached to covers.
Gibbs first entered the charts in 1950 with a cover of Eileen Barton's "If I Knew You Were Comin I'd've Baked A Cake" (number 5 pop), and had her first number 1 hit with "Kiss Of Fire", a vocal version of the '30s tango instrumental "El Choclo".

Gibbs began singing in Boston ballrooms as a teenager, and made her recording debut in 1938 under her given name, Fredda Gibson.
In any case, Gibbs' days on the hit parade were numbered.
She never entered the Top 20 again after 1955, and left shortly Mercury afterwards, partially because her A&R men (Hugo Peretti and Luigi Creatore) had left the label.
