Background: Herb Jeffries (born Umberto Alexander Valentino; September 24, 1913 - May 25, 2014) was an African-American actor of film and television and popular music and jazz singer-songwriter, known of his baritone voice. He was of African descent and Hollywood's first singing black cowboy. In the 1940s and 1950s Jeffries recorded for a number of labels, including RCA Victor, Exclusive, Coral, Decca, Bethlehem, Columbia, Mercury and Trend. His album Jamaica, recorded by RKO, is a concept album of self-composed calypso songs.
Context: From Detroit, at the urging of Louis Armstrong, Jeffries moved to Chicago where he performed in various clubs. One of his first gigs was in a club allegedly owned by Al Capone. Jeffries began his career working with Erskine Tate and his Vendome Orchestra. Tate signed the 19-year-old Jeffries to a contract with his Orchestra at the Savoy Ballroom in Chicago. His break came during the 1933 Chicago World's Fair A Century of Progress International Exposition singing with the Earl Hines Orchestra on Hines' national broadcasts live from the Grand Terrace Cafe. His first recordings were with Hines in 1934, including "Just to be in Carolina". By 1940, he was singing with the Duke Ellington Orchestra and then recorded with him from 1940 to 1942. His 1940 recording of "Flamingo" with Ellington, released in 1941, sold more than 14 million copies in its day. His name had been Herbert Jeffrey, but the credits on the record mistakenly called him Jeffries, so he renamed himself to match the typo. "Flamingo" was later covered by a white singer, the popular vocalist Tony Martin. During his time with the Duke Ellington Orchestra as a lead vocalist, Jeffries proved his talent as a mature singer, demonstrating his wide vocal range in such songs as "I Don't Know What Kind of Blues I've Got," "The Brownskin Gal," and "Jump for Joy" (all 1941). The 1944 single "My Little Brown Book" by Ellington and his Famous Orchestra, on which Jeffries provided vocals, reached No. 4 on Billboard R&B chart. Later on, Jeffries was replaced in the Ellington's band by Al Hibbler. In his teens, Jeffries had developed a fine voice, initially singing in higher registers. He started out his singing career as a lyrical tenor, but, on the advice of Duke Ellington's longtime music arranger, Billy Strayhorn, he lowered his range to mimic the vocal stylings of crooner Bing Crosby. Jeffries became a "silken, lusty baritone," according to music critic Jonny Whiteside. In 1945, Jeffries had a hit on the Billboard R&B chart with "Left A Good Deal In Mobile" (No. 2), on which he was accompanied by pianist Joe Liggins and his band Honeydrippers. Then, he moved to Europe and performed there for many years, including at nightclubs he owned. He was back in America by the 1950s, recording jazz records again, including 1957 collection of ballads, Say It Isn't So. In 1995, at age 81, he recorded The Bronze Buckaroo (Rides Again), a Nashville album of songs on the Warner Western label.
Question: When did his music career begin?
Answer: Tate signed the 19-year-old Jeffries to a contract with his Orchestra at the Savoy Ballroom in Chicago.

Background: Namie Amuro (An Shi Nai Mei Hui , Amuro Namie, born September 20, 1977) is a Japanese recording artist, dancer, model, actress and entrepreneur. A leading figure of the Japanese entertainment industry since the early 90s, Amuro is known for breaking the youthful idol stereotype with her experimentation with different music styles in Japan and throughout the Western world, as well as visual imagery in music videos and on stage. Due to her longevity and resilience within the industry, she is referred to as the "Queen of Japanese Pop" and has constantly been recognized as the Japanese equivalent to leading Western artists such as Madonna and Janet Jackson. Born in Naha, Okinawa, Amuro debuted at age 14 as an idol singer in the band Super Monkey's.
Context: In March 2010, Amuro won the "Best Asian Artist" award at the World Music Awards in Monaco; there, she performed her track "Hide & Seek" from her album Play. On July 28, she released her double A-side singles "Break It" and "Get Myself Back", which performed well on several record charts in Japan. Furthermore, she released the live DVD for her Past < Future tour on December 15, which reached the top spot on the Oricon DVD charts and shifted over 100,000 copies. On April 27, 2011, Amuro published her second collaboration effort Checkmate!. Her first musical release of the year, the record featured nine collaborative tracks that she had participated with throughout her career, and also released four new recordings to promote it; "Wonder Woman", "Make It Happen", "Unusual" and "#1's". The album was a commercial success, reaching the top spot on Oricon and distributed over 500,000 units in Japan. Three months later, she released her first ever triple A-side singles, "Naked/Fight Together/Tempest". Although it reached number two on the Oricon Singles Chart, "Fight Together" was used as the official theme song for the Japanese anime series One Piece, and achieved better sales through digital stores; it was certified Platinum by RIAJ. At the end of July that same year, Amuro conducted her first arena tour titled Live Style, which commemorated her 20th anniversary in the music business; additionally, the tour was to promote her Checkmate! album and some new material taken from her then-upcoming studio record. "Sit! Stay! Wait! Down!" and "Love Story" were the next A-side singles from her studio album, and both premiered on December 7, 2011. Though the physical release exceeded 100,000 units in Japan, the latter track shifted over three million digital copies throughout Japan, one of her highest-selling singles to date. The single also featured two unreleased tracks; "Higher" and "Airigatou". The former track made an appearance on her Live Style tour, whereas the latter recording was made available as a free download on her Facebook page. The final singles, "Go Round/Yeah-Oh!", were released in late March 2012, and continued the 100,000 sales streak in Japan. In April, the singer confirmed the release of her studio album Uncontrolled, which was scheduled for June 27, 2012. The album proved to be commercially successful, reaching the top spot on the Oricon Albums Chart and shifted 500,000 units throughout Japan. Uncontrolled also gave her the highest first-week sales of the year, and her 10th overall number one in the region. On September 16, Amuro was scheduled to host a special concert in her hometown Okinawa, commemorating her 20th anniversary in the music business. However, due to a typhoon warning in the region, this was cancelled and never re-scheduled. After debuting her first digital single "Damage" on October 31, she finished the year by starting her 5 Major Dome tours in Japan, which resulted in being the highest-attended dome tour by a female Japanese artist.
