Discography
Dorothy has a lot of songs so I’m only going to name the top ones.
Thats enough You must be born again The Railroad
Love lifted me Get away Jordan I’ll be with thee
No hiding place Step by step strange man

Influences
Although many people tried to sway Dorothy to change her music style she wouldn’t. She had her own vocal style and wouldn’t let no one change her mind about it.
My opinion on her is that she is a very good person who knows what she wants. She won’t let nobody change her mind and her music is very good. Overall I’m glad she didn’t let no one change her mind and I’m glad she had a good life
Dorothy was the main reason her group was successful. On record and In person everyone loved her spirit and would want her back on stage she left a good impression on everyone.
