During the Second World War, she worked for the Entertainments National Service Association (Ensa) and she performed in air raid shelters and hospitals, before becoming one of the first artists into Germany after the liberation.
Fellow jazz singer Elisabeth Welch, with whom Hall starred in Blackbirds Of 1928 - the most successful black revue ever to run on Broadway - is also commemorated with a blue plaque in Kensington.
