Dorothy Collins, of "Your Hit Parade"

This is a follow-up to the prior post, which concerned a 1954 TV Guide photo of Your Hit Parade singer Snooky Lanson. 

The picture was from a single-page feature--a "TV Guide Singer Album"--which appeared, for a time, in the magazine.

Shown here--as part of the same feature--is a photo of  Hit Parade singer Dorothy Collins.

The photo is from a December 1953 issue of the magazine.

Ms. Collins starred on the Hit Parade--as did Mr. Lanson--from 1950 to 1957, on NBC.  

In the fall of 1957, a new group of singers was brought in to star on the program. They appeared for one season.

In October of 1958, a revamped version of the show began airing on CBS. The CBS program, which was telecast until April of 1959, starred Ms. Collins and singer Johnny Desmond.
