Jones was possibly aware of Kane emulating her scat singing style but did not mind and was flattered. Esther Jones was one of the latter, she was a 'Boop' girl in that very MGM film short and Jones was paying tribute to Helen Kane who she'd met at the Everglades earlier that year. McGoldrick make a decision to rule in favor of the Fleischers, which is that Helen's claim to the 'Boop' was common to a 'number' of Boopers.

Baby Esther scatting in that soundtrack footage, among other evidence given in court, is what helped the Edward J. Without the old soundtrack footage of Esther Jones scatting in an early recording of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Shorts: Little Esther by MGM today there would probably be no Betty Boop. Esther Jones was used to protect the legacy of Betty Boop in court. Actually the method was quite common to a galaxy of performers. Esther is considered to be the 'original' Booper because Jones alternatively used that gimmick, way back in 1925, long before Betty Boop and Helen Kane debuted their scat routines. The origin of Baby Esther's ' Wha-Da-Da' and or a ' Roop-Woop-a-Woop' links to Helen Kane's ' Poop-Poop-a-Doop,' ' Boop-Boop-a-Doop' and Betty Boop's ' Boop-Oop-a-Doop' routines.

Correct information is that Esther Jones inspired Helen Kane to scat sing way back in 1928, As of 1930 Kane went on to inspire Betty Boop to use a similar gimmick and scat sing in her cartoons. Natwick used a photograph of Helen Kane to create Betty Boop, he did not say he had used 'Esther Jones' as the model, as Esther was a child performer who is said to have been around '10-years-old' or '11-years-old' in 1930. The Fleischer Studios had no idea who Esther Jones was. That is not true, that is hearsay and is false information. But misinformation in the video is that Betty Boop was inspired by a Black woman. The video is a great tribute to Betty Boop and Esther Jones and has been viewed over 4,692,787 times.
