After a dinner party for a pack of hungry canibals

“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.
