Dinah Shore 1916–1994 • The younger daughter of Russian immigrants, Frances Rose Shore was born in Winchester, Tennessee, near the Alabama border. A born performer, she played ukulele and sang for the dates her sister, Bessie, brought home. She graduated from Vanderbilt University in 1938, moved to New York, and broke into radio. Her hits included 1945’s “Candy,” a Top 10 record. After a few forgettable movies, she hit the bull’s-eye with TV’s small scale, which was ideal for her informal warmth.
