American country contralto vocalist and violinist.
Born March 12, 1900 in Hutchinson, Kansas, USA.
Died November 2, 1981 (81 years of age).
Married to musician/singer Frank Luther (1920-1980, his death).
One of the first women to have a western hit, Seven Years With The Wrong Man. Layman was a classically traiined violinist and vocalist.
When Zora first delivered her song Seven Years With The Wrong Man on Ethel Park Richardson's NBC series Hillbilly Heart-Throbs, the switchboards were swamped with enthusiasm, and Zora had her first big hit. Additional popular recordings by Layman included Answer to Twenty-One Years, Hooray, I'm Single Again, and Cowboy's Best Friend.
