Dixie Lee
Tomorrow, November 4, 2021, is what would have been Dixie's 112th birthday if she were still alive today. To celebrate her and her memory, I just published a blog entry over at my fan site dedicated to her,
I really enjoy researching her life and career and learning more about her, which is what led me to create the fan site/blog. I feel like she has been forgotten and treated (not necessarily intentionally) as just a footnote in Bing's amazing life, story, and career. When in fact, her own life, story, and career are just as fascinating! I hope to learn and share even more with you all about this amazing woman! Happy 112th Dixie! You are celebrated and remembered!

Re: Dixie Lee
Today marks what would have been Dixie Lee's 112th birthday. She was born in a little town called Harriman, Tennessee, on November 4, 1909. To celebrate her....watch this little catchy dance number she did in the 1929 film, Happy Days (beware of the weird clown that comes in singing too, haha! Dixie is the one singing and dancing in the beginning of the video).

Dixie Lee & Bing & Decca-907 (both sides) still sounds great / She holds her own /She's no slouch as a vocalist/

Re: Dixie Lee
Great site dedicated to Dixie. I have a few recordings of her and she had a cute sound.
I don't think she was made for the Hollywood scene, but I think she was genuinely good woman.
Two deaths that I feel Bing never got over was Eddie Lang and Dixie Lee.

Thank you! I feel like she hasn't been treated to fairly by Hollywood and Bing historians and biographers. She was way more talented than I think most realize. I agree with you...not sure she was the Hollywood type...in that regard, she was a woman ahead of her time (not wanting to be told what to do all the time, pleasing people she didn't like, etc.). I think today, she would have been applauded for being genuine.
