Re: Anita Kerr singer Dorothy Ann "Dottie" Dillard has died
I too was very saddened to hear we lost Dottie Dillard, another very talented contributor to Jim's music and the Anita Kerr Singers. If I'm not mistaken, there are now two deceased members of the group. As much as I liked their beautiful vocals on Jim's songs, I also liked the music they made on their own. I have one of their CD's where they sing many of the popular country songs from the '50's and '60's, and it's really great! I enjoyed the set of tunes they did at the Norway concert where they appeared with Jim, Chet and Bobby Bare. It's great having Jim's part of the show on DVD, but I wish this complete concert would be released at a reasonable price. As many fans already know, this concert has been available for a while now, but only in the Bear set that also includes 5 CD's and a big hardcover book about the tour. Although it does look like a nice set, it is very expensive!
