Josephine Domingue Sabel (October 3, 1866 – December 24, 1945) was an American singer and comedian, billed as "The Queen of Song" in vaudeville.
"[2] She popularized songs including "A Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight",[3] "Somebody Loves Me", and "Bicycle Built for Two".
[6] Sabel's Broadway credits included roles in the musicals Punch, Judy and Company (1903), Earl Carroll's Vanities (1925), Oh Please (1925-1926), and Sidewalks of New York (1927-1928).
"[9] Critic Frank Norris wrote of her, "Josephine Sabel is not what you would call pretty, but she is French to her fingers and toes, which is much better.
"[10] She emphasized her French connections with the latest fashions from Paris, so that her clothing on and off stage were described in detail in the press.
