DOTTIE DILLARD

1950 und 1951 war DOTTIE DILLARD alleine und in Duetten
mit JACK SHOOK gemeinsam bei Coral Records. Um 1954
hatte sie einige Singles bei Dot Records, bevor sich ihre Solo-Spuren
langsam verflüchtigten und sie ein Mitglied der Anita Kerr Singers
schon 1949 wurde, mit denen sie 2 Grammy Awards (1966) im Laufe der
Karriere bis in die 60er Jahre hinein erhielt. Auch mit BOB DYLAN
gewann sie für dessen erstes Album einen Grammy. 1981 zog sie
sich nach Springfield zurück, um ihre Mutter zu pflegen.

Geboren wurde sie als Dorothy Ann Dillard am 3. August 1923 in
Springfield, Missouri. Neben der eigenen Karriere arbeitete sie auch
als Backup-Sängerin unter anderem für JIM REEVES. Leider verstarb
sie am 6. Mai 2015 mit 91 Jahren.
