The female vocal on "Poinciana" and "I'll Get By" sounded familiar, so I put the particulars of this disc into my A. I. search engine and received the following response, that suggests the singer is Doris Day:

You said: Who might the female vocalist be on the songs "I'll Get By" and Poinciana" by Jimmy Wilbur & HIs Swingette released on the Music From American radio programs produced by The Voice of America

Doris Day is the most likely female vocalist on those specific tracks.

Why Doris Day fits the profile:

• The WLW Cincinnati Connection: Jimmy Wilbur was a prominent staff conductor and orchestra leader for WLW Cincinnati. During the late 1930s and early 1940s, he led the station's house ensembles, frequently backing the local station vocalists. Doris Day was hired by WLW in 1938 at just 15 years old and routinely sang live with Wilbur's band on programs like WLW on Parade.
• Her Signature Song: Interestingly, "I'll Get By (As Long as I Have You)" was a massive staple of Doris Day's early repertoire. She famously sang it during her early radio years, recorded it commercially with the Les Brown Orchestra in the 1940s, and even performed it on screen later in her film career.
