,Unusually for the big Band era Dinah was turned down by Benny Goodman, and both Tommy & Jimmy Dorsey and went on to forge a successful solo career on Records, Radio, and Television.
Quoting Wikapedia:...
"In March 1939, Dinah debuted on national radio on the Sunday afternoon CBS radio program, Ben Bernie's Orchestra. 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. With Shore, the program became so popular that it was moved from 4:30 Sunday afternoon to a 9:00 Monday night time slot in September. In her prime-time 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!"
Sooner Or Later
Words by Ray Gilbert
Music by Charles Wolcott
You and I said goodbye
With a friendly kiss
And though I'm not the surest kind,
I'm kinda sure of this:
Sooner or later you're gonna be comin' around, I'll betcha;
I'll betcha that I getcha, you wait and see.
Sooner or later you'll wanna be hangin' around, I'll letcha;
I'll betcha if I letcha, you'll baby me.
You're gonna knock on my door
(knock knock)
You did it before
(knock knock)
Matter o'factly I don't know exactly when.
But sooner or later you're gonna be comin' around and want my lovin' again.
