Helen Carroll & The Satisfiers

Helen Carroll and the Satisfiers were an American smooth harmony popular music singing group of the mid-20th century consisting of Carroll and three male singers: Bob Lange, Ted Hansen, and Art Lambert. Helen Carroll was the stage name of Helen Kress. Helen Carroll began her singing career as a teenager on old-time radio in Memphis, Tennessee. Carroll returned to Indiana and enrolled at the Indiana University for college, but left college in her senior year to pursue a career in broadcasting. She settled on the East Coast in New York City with hopes of working on Broadway theater entertainment, making her debut in the chorus of the short lived Geoffrey O'Hara musical Rogues and Vagabonds in 1930. Her appearances on Broadway were sporadic, including the roles of Daphne in Arthur Schwartz's Virginia, the Citizen of New Amsterdam in Knickerbocker Holiday, and a woman tourist in Key Largo. She found regular employment performing after auditioning for a group called the Merry Macs. With the Merry Macs, she appeared on Fred Allen's show and in the 1940 movie Love Thy Neighbor.
