so effectively for Tommy Dorsey
that she was rewarded with a movie
role and would have been the singer
with Mr.. Dorsey's orchestra had not
the high price of side men so dis
couraged the leader that he dis
banded his musical crew. So instead
of singing with Dorsey, Sherry is
now singing with Bob Knight, who
