Tremendously talented. No matter what, she was there every week for many years as I grew up.

They created music videos of the songs each week using the staff singers and musicians. The problem was that if a song stay #1 for a long time coming up with a new skit each week got to be a problem;)

Dorothy Collins is a real genius! This is one of my favorite songs. But I had thought only the Chordettes recorded it. Dorothy again proves her musical talent
with the recording of Mr. Sandman. I miss her and lament the lack of real singers who mesmerize the audience.
Thanks a lot for this clip.
