When a woman Is brown skinned and beautiful- her race is the first thing people question. When a woman is white skinned and beautiful - her race is never questioned. That's Amerikka for ya!
Lástima que se fuera demasiado pronto,hubiese destrozado a variopintas desentonadas y mediocres voces de su época.De todas maneras y aunque con un dia de retraso,felicidades Dorothy
Just read about her on Wikipedia and see what a sad and tragic life she had in the end. How terrible, she deserved so much acclaim. Stunningly beautiful.
beautiful, talented, treated unfairly. she won that oscar. i don't care what that paper in the envelope said. rest in peace. today marks 46 years of your absence. Dorothy Dandridge Nov. 9, 1922-Sept. 8, 1965. love you.
Pure, Unfiltered, Raw, Unaltered, Beautiful talent, unlike now and days where everything is digitalized, recycled, reiterated and deficient in all the REAL components of good music. And another thing, What a gorgeous women! I'm amazed not only by her voice but as well as her beauty. Peace and One Love
OMG she ws not mixed just because she is pretty. there are many beautiful black women with exotic features. we come in all shades. her parents may have had a little bit of mixed blood but she herself would be majority black not bi racial at all! look at pics of her mother! black people do not all have to be dark (not that there i anything wrong with that) or have the stereotypical features!!!!
This isn't actually Ms. Dandridge singing, this track is from "Introducing Dorothy Dandridge" and was sung by Wendi Williams. Great track though, thanks for posting it.
@Mellie What songs DID Dorothy sing on?!? I only clicked here to find out what she "sounded" like, since ALL of her Movie songs are dubbed!!! The same story goes for Susan Hayward. What was WRONG with Hollywood???
@zodiolestes This song is actually from a movie called "Introducing Dorothy Dandridge" which is a story about her life (it stars Halle Berry and is from 1999) so Ms. Dandridge wasn't in it at all. Also, I know that her voice was dubbed in Carmen Jones because they wanted an opera singer for that. However, if you want to find clips of her actually singing, there are a lot on Youtube. Look for ones where they show her actually singing on old television shows and things like that. :)
i was watching My Girl the other day and the grandma started singing this song and i was just thinking how long its been since ive listened to this song i love it
She is very beautiful and talented but it was the feeling that she needed a white man in her life to really se something that ulitmately destroyed her.
I just finished watching the movie with Halle Berry today and I fell in love with this song immediately! Her voice is very distinct and unique! And I cannot forget her effortless beauty...
She was sooo beautilful. I'm watching Carmen Jones for the first time, and i love it. I always wanted to see her in motion. She's just so beautiful.<3<3 I'm 15 by the way.:)
@Adizero7000 I'm saying that the songs used in the film or on the soundtrack were NOT sung by the real life Dorothy Dandridge. The actual singer was Wendi Williams. If you listen to the real Dorothy Dandridge, you could hear that her voice is much deeper...
@Adizero7000 100% positive...The film did not use any of Dorothy Dandridge's actual recordings...They wanted to dub in a voice that sounded both like Dorothy's and Halle's combined...Plus, Dorothy DAndridge had performed this song in the nightclubs, but she did not record it...She recorded one album in her lifetime, and this song wasn't on it...
From what I know about Dorothy Dandrige, She was a good girl in the world of Sharks!!!
It was a glamorous hard knock life n she didnt know how to pick a good man, struggle struggle n more struggle: she did not deserve the type of life she lived
Beauty or sucess is sometime a curse, u will realise that the most beautiful women of this world had the most messed life: Marilyn Monroe (Dorothy's Friend), Elisabeth Taylor, Noemie Lenoir, Coco Chanel, Kartoucha and many more...
