“At Home With Dorothy and Raymond”   Dorothy Collins and the Raymond Scott Quintet.   Coral Records.   Scott married Pearl Zimney in 1935, and they had two children, Carolyn and Stanley.   In 1940, a talented 13-year-old Canadian named Marjorie Chandler came to live with the family.   Recommended to Scott by road manager Frank Herz, the girl had a lovely voice and became Scott’s protegee. By age 16, Chandler, re-named Dorothy Collins, was lead vocalist in Raymond’s big band. They toured together (often with Pearl along as stage-mom), and a mutual chemistry developed. In 1950, Scott and Pearl separated; two years later, he married Dorothy.   Bird Life in the Bronx / Dedicatory Piece to the Crew and Passengers of the First Experimental Rocket Express to the Moon /Ectoplasm / Snake Woman / Street Corner in Paris / Tiger Rag.
