The Dandridge Sisters

The Dandridge Sisters were a hit at the Cotton Club and the critics gave them good reviews. With their success Joe Glazer got them the exciting engagement in England where jazz critic Leonard Feather saw & met them and fell in love with Vivian. The girls again received good reviews but their tour was cut short by the advent of World War II. Prior to their engagement at The Cotton Club The Dandridge Sisters had toured Hawaii with a circus. They had also toured in the USA. While in England Dorothy announced she wanted to go solo and back in the USA after the live dates with the Jimmy Lunceford Band finished in mid 1940, Dorothy broke away from Vivian & Etta and got stage and film acting work. This was the end of The Dandridge Sisters.
