Set to her own deceptively light tunes, sung in a breathy voice and gathered in an LP album titled On My Way to Where, they sold 25,000 copies. A second album followed, which doubled those sales. A third, just out, is selling even faster. Dory has written a musical about her life, which she hopes to see produced on Broadway. She has also turned the same material into...
