Biographical Note
The daughter of Polish and Lithuanian immigrants, Lillie Goldstein Lubin was born in 1923 in Charleston, South Carolina. Her mother, Bessie Goldstein, ensured her daughters (Lillie and younger sister, Rosalie) received a musical education, and by age seven, Lillie was performing on radio station WCSC's "Children's Hour." In 1939, Goldstein was chosen to represent South Carolina at the Radio Queen of the South competition in Miami, Florida. (Her sister won the same contest three years later.) Goldstein married Harry Lubin in the mid-1940s and pursued a professional operatic career in New York City under the stage name "Lisa" Lubin.
