Not only was Dorothy a beautiful and talented actress, but she was also an extremely talented vocalist. Although she began as a member of the singing group, The Dandridge Sisters, along with her sister Vivian Dandridge and Etta Jones (yes, Etta Jones NOT Etta James), Dorothy gained more fame as a solo artist as she performed on the nightclub circuit oftentimes accompanied by Phil Moore on piano. In 1958, Dorothy Dandridge recorded a full length album that went unreleased until 1999. This album is the only known recordings with Dorothy Dandridge on the lead vocals.
*All songs were recorded in 1958 with the exception of 4 that were recorded in 1961.
