I remember Alma Cogan well (I loved her singing as did all my friends and family). I can assure you that "The girl with a chuckle in her voice" was THE nickname used by radio announcers at the time (I'm sure there were some rare exceptions where they used 'laugh' or 'giggle', but 'chuckle was used 99.9% of the time!). 131.111.218.179 08:06, 12 June 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.172.132.18 (talk)
The Girl with the "Chuckle" in her Voice? 131.111.218.179 08:40, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
- Yes; 'laugh', 'giggle' and 'chuckle' were all used at various times - can't find a specific reference though. A photograph of her would be nice - please someone.

Gender?
I also remember Alma Cogan on the "Take it from Here" radio show.
Shouldn't the article read "not a practising Jewess"?AT Kunene (talk) 09:26, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Editing-down, as requested
In response your tag of December 2012, I have edited-down this over-long piece.
Much of the material is basically listings, shoe-horned into sequential text. This is largely duplicated by the actual listings at the end.
Many other mentions would have been of passing interest 50 years ago, but of no interest now, and deserve to be deleted.
Also, the prose style was over-wordy, and could be shortened without any loss of impact.
