Title:
Here's
Dorothy
Shay
Artist:
Dorothy
Shay
Catalogue
No:
SEPIA
1078
Barcode:
5055122110780
Release
Date:
4
September
2006
With
the
chart
success
of
her
recording
Feudin'
And
Fightin'
Dorothy
Shay
was
destined
to
continue
to
perform
songs
in
a
similar
style
and
found
it
difficult
to
escape
the
association
with
country
music
for
the
remainder
of
her
professional
life.
Born
in
Jacksonville,
Florida
she
came
to
prominence
in
the
1940's
billed
as
'The
Park
Avenue
Hillbilly',
singing
novelty,
somewhat
risqué,
country
style
songs
while
elegantly
dressed
in
the
most
sophisticated
of
evening
gowns.
Feudin'
And
Fightin',
Two-Gun
Harry
From
Tucumcari
and
Makin'
Love
Mountain
Style
are
typical
examples
of
the
material
she
was
featuring
in
her
nightclub
and
radio
appearances
at
the
time.
You
Broke
Your
Promise
was
one
of
four
songs
Dorothy
Shay
sang
in
the
Abbott
and
Costello
'Universal'
film
Comin'
Round
The
Mountains.
As
the
title
may
suggest
this
was
a
hillbilly
romp
with
Shay
billed
as
"Dorothy
-
The
Manhattan
Hillbilly",
not
much
different
from
real
life.
When
long
playing
records
came
into
being
Shay
recorded
a
couple
of
ten
inch
LPs.
One
long
player
which
had
titles
such
as
Sagebrush
Sadie
and
Howlinest,
Hootinest
Gal
stayed
in
the
familiar
country
music
territory.
However
the
second
LP
had
the
advantage
of
that
creative
genius
Billy
May
in
charge
of
the
music
and
these
sessions,
mainly
show
songs,
gave
her
the
opportunity
to
divert
from
the
cornfields
and
show
the
more
sophisticated
style
she
was
so
obviously
capable
of
portraying.
Although
the
'Western'
theme
is
present
with
music
from
Annie
Get
Your
Gun
and
Oklahoma!,
Shay
proves
a
versatile
and
confident
performer
of
Broadway
standards
such
as
Take
Back
Your
Mink
and
Always
True
To
You
In
My
Fashion.
Material
from
both
LPs
are
included
on
this
CD.
She
appeared
in
many
television
films,
often
Westerns
such
as
The
Virginian
and
for
a
number
of
years
played
the
part
of
Thelma
in
the
popular
series
The
Waltons.
