Jane Turzy was a Chicago, Illinois-born singer of traditional pop music.

She succeeded in reaching the popularity charts only in 1951 with three recordings she made for Decca Records. Her biggest hit, "Good Morning, Mister Echo", was credited to The Jane Turzy Trio because she overdubbed her voice twice to mimic the sound of a vocal trio, similar to the multitrack vocal effects heard earlier on ground-breaking hits by Patti Page and the late Mary Ford. Georgia Gibbs and Margaret Whiting issued competing versions, but Turzy's rendition charted the highest.

She also had a version of Sweet Violets (which competed with a version by Dinah Shore) and a song named I Like It.

Good Morning Mister Echo

"Good Morning, Mister Echo" was a popular song.

It was written by Bill and Belinda Putman. The song was published in 1951.

Jane Turzy (overdubbing herself, billed as the Jane Turzy Trio) recorded the song for a hit. The recording was released by Decca Records as catalog number 27622. It first reached the Billboard magazine charts on June 29, 1951 and lasted 5 weeks on the chart, peaking at #24. [1]

The pseudonym Ninita wrote Swedish lyrics entitled "Godmorgon, Mr. Eko". Alice Babs, Charles Normans orkester recorded it in Stockholm on September 7, 1951. The song was released on the 78 rpm records Metronome J 196 (in Sweden) and on Musica A 6905 (in Norway).
