(1) Rose Murphy (May 7, 1913, Xenia, Ohio, USA – November 16, 1989, New York City, USA.) was a pianist and vocalist most famous for the song 'Busy Line'. Rose Murphy was known as “the chee chee girl” thanks to her habit of regularly singing the phrase “chee chee” in many of her numbers. She began her musical career in the late 1930’s, playing intermission piano for such performers as Count Basie, and achieved strong popularity in both the US and UK in the late 1940’s. <a href="https://www.last
