Big Bird and Dinah Shore
Earl Sinclair and Dinah Shore
Dinah Shore (1916-1994) was an actress and singer who had a long career in television, recordings, and public appearances. She had two #1 singles in the 1940s: "I'll Walk Alone", and "Buttons and Bows".
Her daytime talk show Dinah! featured several appearances by the Muppets. She also released a Sesame Street album in 1979, Dinah! I've Got a Song.
Shore also appeared alongside Earl Sinclair in an ABC promo for Dinosaurs, mistakenly believing her own show is being brought back for a new season. (Facebook)
