Kaye gained interest after performing the song "Jealous Eyes" and toured the Americas in the 1950s, before returning to London to relaunch her career.
She was highly requested and sang with famous bands of the era, including Nat Allen, Cyril Stapleton, Tommy Sampson and Terry Lightfoot.
[2] Singer Billy Daniels became interested in Kaye after listening to her album, signing her and announced plans to prepare the vocalist for her first appearance in the United States in New York City.
She acted as supporting singer to Tony Bennett, Lena Horne and Kay Starr and travelled extensively across the country and Canada, which saw her become established in the American show business scene.
[7][8] Clarinettist Acker Bilk organised a party for Kaye in July 1962 before she travelled to Poland in the same month to represent the United Kingdom at the Sopot Jazz Festival.
