I always heard whispers about Dinah Shore. Hard to believe but who knows.

One of the more unusual ones I heard when I was a teenager was someone telling me Dickey Lee’s father was black. Just like Dinah, he’s never talked about it (why should he?) but I find his nose interesting. But what does it matter?

“I always heard whispers about Dinah Shore.”

Oh yes, I’ve heard that too.

But who is Dickey Lee?

Geez, I don’t even know the old time celebrities!

Are you referring to the recording star?

Stay True, Baby--Dickie Lee & the Collegians (1957)

Of course, this should not matter. E Pluribus Unum.

No, Dinah Shore's parents were Jewish. They were shopkeepers in Tennessee, where Dinah was born and raised.
