Arthur Godfrey s Talent Scouts (radio) contestant On July 9, 1946, Sills appeared as a contestant on the radio show Arthur Godfrey s Talent Scouts. She sang under the pseudonym of Vicki Lynn, as she was under contract to Shubert. Shubert did not want Godfrey to be able to say he had discovered Beverly Sills if she won the contest (although she did not ultimately win). Sills sang Romany Life from Victor Herbert s The Fortune Teller.
