GEORGIA GIBBS, "KISS OF FIRE" SINGER, DEAD AT 87 Georgia Gibbs, a brassy-voiced pop singer who topped the charts in the 1950s, died on Saturday in Manhattan. She was 87. During her years in show business, Ms. Gibbs was widely known by "Her Nibs, Miss Georgia Gibbs." Ms. Gibbs recorded three singles that sold more than a million copies each: "Kiss of Fire," which reached No. 1 on the Billboard charts in 1952; "Tweedle Dee" which was No. 2 in 1955; and "Dance With Me Henry," which was No. 1 in 1955. It was Mr. Moore who came up with the title Her Nibs. In her heyday, she was so well known that the post office routinely delivered to her door overseas letters addressed simply, "Her Nibs."
