I've seen her name as Annabell Moore, but there's no one with that name in any census who could possibly be her. Her father was Casey Moore (which I can verify only because, when Otha died, he was mentioned, by name, as still being alive). Otha Lee 'Tiny Topsy' Moore was born on May 22, 1930, presumably in Chicago she appears in no census, in Chicago or anywhere else. I could only find a single advertised appearance where she wasn't part of a package show. She appeared in fewer than 20 shows in a six-year period, and she was never the main attraction in any of them. Whatever you may think of her, Tiny Topsy wasn't a star. I think that Tiny Topsy is fairly well-known, but there's almost nothing I can find out about her. Of late, I've been writing some rather lengthy articles on relatively unknown singers.
