Moonmaids (vocal group)


The Moonmaids were an American female jazz and popular vocal quartet that started out as college student entertainers under the name "North Texas Swingtet". As the Swingtet, they launched and performed with the Aces of Collegeland at the University of North Texas in 1943 and grew in popularity throughout the region. Vaughn Monroe hired the group, renamed it "The Moonmaids", and debuted them with his orchestra on April 11, 1946, at Loews Theater in Washington, D.C. The Moonmaids rapidly rose to national acclaim performing and recording with the Vaughn Monroe Orchestra for RCA Victor. Within four months of joining Monroe, the Moonmaids were on the cover of Down Beat and featured in Radio Mirror With personnel changes now and then, the Moonmaids performed with Vaughn Monroe from 1946 to 1952.
