STAR TIME KIDS WHO IS THIS UNKNOWN BLACK SINGER ?

[DreamsCumTrue469]

how tough is the economy for blacks you ask? the kid had been unemployed ever since this appearance. now that's tough!

[snoops71]

Some of these "answers" are really ignorant.

[torresongs2]

Did she change her name to Tamara Dobson? Tamara was Cleopatra Jones.

[OnCloudNine62]

She's adorable! Glad someone solved the mystery of her ID.

[thegroupharmonyalley]

How cute she is. This appears to be the same girl that the host is hugging at the end of the episode when Connie Francis made her appearance. Surely it must be able to be confirmed by more than one individual.

[Miikaika25]

we need to get rid of the past, just erase history and start fresh.

[message2blackwomen]

@Miikaika25 so we can relive it right?

that would be fun

[DoctorScuba]

she became...CLEOPATRA JONES!

[BoilingPoint212F]

Shirley Temple sung this song way better.

[IBACKN]

@BoilingPoint212F Shirley Temple got PAID to sing it way better with tons and tons of rehearsals

.

Not to mention she looks nothing like her...

[kwilli33]

Maybe its a young Fantasia NEVER MIND she is singing about the alphabet. Illiteracy is never funny. If you or someone you know is illiterate please call 1-800-ICANTREADTHISCRAP!!!

[nystar1881]

STARTIME? WAS IN NY IN THE 1950'S .. I took tap..you guys are wrong..why would Aretha from Detroit be on Startime, when her dad already had a church and a choir, and connections..come on quit it!

[thegroupharmonyalley]

@nystar1881 It's a shame so many people's comments to answer this question are so flagrantly ridiculous, and obviously meant to be disrespectful...sadly, you can't apply reason to their suggestions of Aretha, Hammer, Fantasia....and the other assorted ridiculous answers.

[scarypowers]

I think it is Michael jackson....

[memalephyudth]

lol

[gwarvana]

i think its hammertime.

[rhosey0099]

The "unknown" black singer is Sharon Tate. She was on Star Time Kids for a few years. Do not know what became of her, but she had talent and personality that you can see in the clip. A sweetie.

[bandino88]

her name is Sharon Wright PorterI am Charlie of Charles and Lillian.I was on startime for about 5 years

[sferraro1012]

My grandmother is Diane Herbin, She was on star time kids also! Do you know where we can find any footage!

[tag1989]

@bandino88 wow your 74 lol kool

[Soapking1965]

Her Royal Soulness !!!!

[Soapking1965]

Ella was already famous when this show aired (whenever that was). Bessie Smith died in 1937 (before TV). It was definitely the Queen of Soul.

[eastgaryradio]

Blue Iris?

[mrravensymone]

this is DEFINITLEY Aretha Franklin!

[freezinmyassoff]

I think is Ella Fitzgerald. She has that signature Ella tone, phrasing and diction.

[dusroots]

Imma say Aretha too!

[rblather]

Aretha Franklin???? LOL!

[westsidestory97]

[eyezpopmusic]

[Roberta2141]

This is Sharon Wright Porter.

[TVNETWORKS]

Hi - Who ia Sharon? Is she alive..I hope? How do you know?..Thanks for contacting

[Roberta2141]

Sharon was a regular on Star Time Kids. My sister and I visited with her regularly when she was not busy. The Show was rehearsed at 1697 Broadway in NYC. She was on the show with Connie Francis. She also did print work.

She appeared in magazines and calenders. Sharon is about 61 years old now. I don't know if she is still alive. Can't seem to find anything on her. Even checked IMDB and nothing there. I would love to see a reunion of these kids. They were all extremely talented.

[goscene23]

why did you visit with her, was she related to you? or just a friend?

[Roberta2141]

Just saw your post. We were friends.

[inclove1]

who is she??

[StewedTomato]

A little girl.
