I had thought Dorothy Lamour to be just another pretty face who had a technically good voice but was somewhat interchangeable with the other bright, young, pretty songstresses of old time variety radio in that Dorothy’s songs were good enough but stylistically the same you heard on other popular shows.

Songs:

I Got a Right To Sing the Blues
Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Melancholy Moon
Day In, Day Out
Melancholy Lullabye
Many Dreams Ago
