Dorothy Collins & Raymond Scott Quintette - Singing in the Rain

After husband and wife musical team, Dorothy Collins and Raymond Scott, left "Your Hit Parade," in 1957 they rarely appeared together. A joint and completed album for Everest Records, "Singing and Swinging" was canceled at the last minute, due to artistic differences between the label and Scott, who was Everest's A&R director. Here is an example of one of those post Hit Parade joint appearances. "Singing in the Rain" was pretty much standard fare for Dorothy and Raymond, since they recorded it twice (once for their own Audivox label and later for Coral Records) and performed it as a Lucky Strike Extra on "Your Hit Parade." The selection is a good example of The Raymond Scott Quintette 'sound.' Dorothy and Raymond terminated their business and personal associations not long after this video was done. Dorothy went on to make a stack of singles for various labels, appeared regularly on "Candid Camera," did lots of summer stock shows and concerts, and starred on Broadway in "Follies."
