By all accounts, Kaye Ballard discovered Paul. She first saw him when he was performing at Northwestern University & introduced Paul to many contacts, when he moved to New York, including Leonard Sillman (who did the "New Faces" series.) They remained friends for many years. She also mentions Paul a few times in her book.

According to her book "How I lost 10 Pounds in 53 Years", Ms. Ballard idolizes Fanny Brice. Here's a clip from "Kraft Music Hall" of Ms. Ballard singing Ms. Brice's signature song. |
