History

Dinah Shore (born Frances Rose Shore, March 1, 1917, in Winchester, Tennessee) emerged as a pop and big-band-era vocalist in the late 1930s, singing on New York radio alongside a then-unknown Frank Sinatra before recording her debut with Xavier Cugat's orchestra in 1939. She joined Eddie Cantor's radio show in 1940 and signed with RCA Victor's Bluebird label, scoring her first Top Ten hit in 1941 with "Yes, My Darling Daughter." Through the 1940s she became the most successful solo female recording artist of the decade, with hits including "Blues in the Night," "I'll Walk Alone," "The Gypsy," "Buttons and Bows," "I Love You for Sentimental Reasons," and the duet "Baby, It's Cold Outside" with Buddy Clark. She also appeared in Hollywood musicals such as "Up in Arms" and "Till the Clouds Roll By," and voiced segments in Disney's "Make Mine Music" and "Fun and Fancy Free." Notably, she is credited as the first major vocalist to break away from the big-band format and build a solo-billed career, a shift that helped define the pop singer as a standalone star. She later moved into a long-running television career.
