Devyn Perry

Teresa Devon (born Toby Teresa Dekovnick; 19 May 1922 – 5 April 2013) was a British jazz singer. She worked as a hairdresser in her father's business but switched to singing after winning a crooning competition on Radio Luxembourg. Devon joined the Billy Thorburn orchestra and her first record was released in 1938. She was heard weekly on the BBC radio comedy programme Take It From Here. Devon later became a vocalist for the Tito Burns jazz Septet, developing the skill of scat singing. Burns and Devon married in November 1948. She subsequently stopped singing professionally, and helped her husband to manage notable singers.
