When Radio Ruled

When Radio Ruled #115 – Dorothy Lamour Sings 1939 part 1 Smokey and Sultry


Listen Later

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.

Then I discovered this musical treasure trove and was forced to completely re-think my opinion. There are things Dorothy does with these classic songs that make them personal and unique.

Songs:

Ain’t Misbehaving

It Had To Be You

Comes Love Nothing Can Be Done

If I Didn’t Care

I Got a Right To Sing the Blues

Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Melancholy Moon

Day In, Day Out

Melancholy Lullabye

Many Dreams Ago

Give a Listen to Dorothy at Her Best
