Ms. ESTHER JONES, known by her stage
name, “Baby Esther,” was an ” African-American singer and entertainer of
the late 1920s. She performed regularly at the (The Cotton Club) in
Harlem.
Singer Helen Kane saw her act in 1928 and (COPIED or
stole ). Ms Jones’ ‘baby’ Singing Style! > for a recording of “I
Wanna Be Loved By You.”
Ms. Jones’ singing style went on to
become the inspiration for (( Max Fleischer )) cartoon character’s Voice
and SINGING style of BETTY BOOP, was YES a Black Woman.
Her singing trademark Was.. “boop oop a doop “.. In a baby voice at the cotton club in Harlem. - Esther
Jones who’s stage name was “Baby Esther” was a popular entertainer at
Harlem’s Cotton Club in the late 1920s. Baby Esther interpolated words
such as ‘Boo-Boo-Boo’ & ‘Doo-Doo-Doo’ in songs at a cabaret. Helen Kane SAW Baby’s act in 1928 and (stole) Used it in her hit song I Wanna Be Loved By You.
An
early test sound film was also discovered, which featured Baby Esther
performing in this style, disproving Kane’s claims. Baby Esther’s
manager also testified that Helen Kane had saw Baby Esther’s cabaret act
in 1928.
Supreme Court Judge Edward J. McGoldrick ruled: “The
plaintiff has failed to sustain either cause of action by proof of
sufficient probative force”. In his opinion, the “baby” technique of
singing did not originate with Kane.
$250,000 infringement lawsuit
Esther’s manager also testified that , Helen Kane & her manager , saw Baby’s act somewhere between 1928-1929. Scholar Robert G.O’ Meally said, Betty Boop The WHITE CARTOON herself had, as it were, a BLACK grandmother in her backround.
Baby Esther was presumed dead by 1934, just when the lawsuit had ended.

don’t forget that Betty Boop was a major influence in Osamu Tezuka’s
work. Tezuka is considered one of the fathers of modern anime with the
“big doe eyes” style so to some extent all anime girls nowadays owe part
of their legacy to this lady!
