Rosedale appeared on Broadway in four shows:
Hello, Alexander (1919),
The Midnight Rounders of 1920 (1920),
The Century Revue (1920), and
Red Pepper (1922). A contralto or mezzo-soprano singer, she recorded more than a dozen duets with
Vivian Holt in 1919, for
Victor. She accompanied Holt as a pianist in two other recordings. She and Holt performed "a refined act of musical worth" in
vaudeville in the 1910s, and sang together on radio in the 1930s. Songs written or composed by Rosedale included "Chérie, I Love You", "If I Could Look Into Your Eyes", "Just a Bit of Dreaming", "The Sun Goes Down", "You Have My Heart", "My Shepherd is the Lord", "Let There Be Peace", "I Found You", "Ecstasy", and "Our Prayer". "Chérie, I Love You", her best-known song, was recorded by many popular singers, including
Nat King Cole,
Pat Boone,
Annette Hanshaw,
Grace Moore, and
Frankie Laine. Phrases from the song were heard in
Warner Brothers cartoons, often sung by
Mel Blanc as the skunk character,
Pepé Le Pew. Goodman was a member of the California Music Teachers Association and
ASCAP. Later in life, she taught voice students, and did voice coaching for well-known singers and actors such as
José Ferrer and
Betty Hutton. She made a record of vocal exercises,
I Say You Can Sing (1962). == Personal life ==
