Betty Madigan (born 1928) is an American former traditional popular singer[1] and actress.[2][3][4]

Born in Washington, D.C., Madigan attended Catholic University.[5]

Career edit

In 1954, Madigan was rated "the newer female vocalist [with] the greatest chance to become one of the top female vocalist names" in a poll of disc jockeys conducted by Billboard.[1] That year, she appeared on The Red Skelton Hour, The Dave Garroway Show, and The Colgate Comedy Hour. In 1956, she portrayed Martha Cratchitt in a 1956 episode of The Alcoa Hour called "The Stingiest Man in Town," a musical adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.[6][7] Madigan performed on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1957, and on The Dick Clark Show on 1958.

A description of Madigan in a 1959 issue of Gramophone said that she sounds like Alma Cogan and also resembles her.[8]

In November 2018, Jasmine Records released a two-CD compilation of her singles recorded between 1953 and 1961, totaling 58 songs,.[9] Sepia Records also released a CD containing two of her albums, "Am I Blue?" and "The Jerome Kern Songbook"[10]

Madigan lives in Bal Harbour, Florida, where she is socially active.[11]
