Dinah Shore-Chevole-Smokey The Bear

In February 1940, Dinah Shore became a featured vocalist on the NBC Radio program The Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street, a showcase for traditional dixieland and blues songs. In her prime debut for “the music of the Three Bs, Barrelhouse, Boogie-woogie and the Blues”, she was introduced as “Mademoiselle Dinah ‘Diva’ Shore, who starts a fire by rubbing two notes together!” Shore soon became a successful singing star with her own radio show in 1943, Call to Music.
