Crazy Rhythm
Dorothy Collins (November 18, 1926 – July 21, 1994) was a Canadian-born sin… Read Full Bio ↴Dorothy Collins (November 18, 1926 – July 21, 1994) was a Canadian-born singer and actress.
Born Marjorie Chandler in Windsor, Ontario, Collins shot to fame as the lead vocalist on the long-running television series Your Hit Parade, on which she sang (and often acted out in costume) the popular songs of the day. Additional TV credits include The Steve Allen Show, the Bell Telephone Hour, The Hollywood Palace, and Candid Camera, as both a participant in the stunts and co-host with Allen Funt.

Collins was married to Raymond Scott from 1952 until their divorce in 1965. They had two daughters, Deborah and Elizabeth. With Scott she recorded many advertizing jingles and the 1957 album "At Home with Dorothy and Raymond". In 1966, she married actor/singer Ron Holgate, with whom she had a daughter, Melissa. The two eventually divorced.

In 1971, Collins made her Broadway debut in Stephen Sondheim's Follies, portraying a one-time Ziegfeld-style showgirl trapped in a disappointing marriage. Her dramatic rendition of "Losing My Mind" routinely stopped the show and was one of the production's highlights. Her performance won her a Tony Award nomination as Best Actress in a Musical, but she lost to co-star, fellow Canadian-born actress Alexis Smith; the two actresses died within a year of each other.

She died from respiratory distress as a result of a long-standing pulmonary disease (asthma) at her home in upstate Watervliet, New York ), survived by her three daughters.

Thanks for posting this record. You can see how Raymond Scott's close association with Les Paul and Mary Ford carried over into some of Dorothy's recording...electric guitar and multiple voice recordings.

VealParmigiana

This is an excellent, and I wish "the real Queen of Jazz", Alice Babs would have recorded this.

Richard Baxter

Thanks for your fine comments again. I would be interested in the cassettes you mention of Dorothy on the radio. Would you tell me more or what songs are on these cassettes. I have two CD's of Raymond's radio shows...wonder if they might be duplicates of what you have. Will be looking for a reply. Thanks again from one Collins fan to another.
