From Trade Magazine (May 1951):
NEW YORK: Joan Shaw, lovely M-G-M recording artist, after ironing out contract difficulties with MCA, was immediately signed by Shaw Artist Corporation. Ben DeCosta, personal manager for several top rhythm and blues attractions, set the deal and plans to bring several other top names into the Shaw office. Joan just concluded a successful Apollo Theater engagement.
