Maybe Rudy Vallee, if one is to trust wikipedia on this:
"His live appearances were usually sold out, and even if his singing could hardly be heard in those venues not yet equipped with the new electronic microphones, his screaming female fans went home happy if they had caught sight of his lips through the opening of the trademark megaphone ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megaphone ) he sang through."

From Randy Riddle:
I think the screaming thing goes back to Frank Sinatra and the bobby soxers
of the 40s. I don't recall hearing about the phenomena with a singer before
then
