디나 쇼어

소개

다이나 쇼어(Dinah Shore, 영어 발음: /ˈdaɪnə/, 1916년 ~ 1994년)는 미국의 가수이다. 테네시주의 윈체스터에서 태어났다. 내시빌의 고등학교 시절에는 축구 응원단장으로 인기를 독차지하였으며, 노래 솜씨가 대단하였다. 《다이나》 만을 노래로 불렀기 때문에 그것이 애칭이 되었다. 번더빌트대학을 졸업한 후로는 노래에 전념하였다. 라디오나 무대에서 호평을 받아 폭넓은 레퍼토리와 교묘한 창법으로 스타의 지위를 확보하였다. 《단추와 리본》, 《틸》, 《블루 카나리》 등의 히트곡이 많으며, 음반으로는 《도레미의 노래》가 있다.

Dinah Shore was an American singer, actress, television personality, author, and talk show host. Born in Winchester, Tennessee and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, she rose to prominence as a recording artist during the Big Band era. She achieved even greater success a decade later in television, mainly as the host of a series of variety programs sponsored by Chevrolet. After failing singing auditions for the bands of Benny Goodman, and both Jimmy and Tommy Dorsey, Shore struck out on her own. She became the first singer of her era to achieve huge solo success. She had a string of eighty charted popular hits, spanning from 1940 to 1957, and after appearing in a handful of feature films, she went on to a four-decade career in American television. She starred in her own music and variety shows from 1951 through 1963 and hosted two talk shows in the 1970s. TV Guide ranked her at number 16 on their list of the top 50 television stars of all time. Stylistically, Shore was compared to two singers who followed her in the mid-to-late 1940s and early 1950s, Jo Stafford and Patti Page.
