Carolyn Dennis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carolyn Dennis (born 1954), sometimes professionally known as Carol Dennis or Carol Dennis-Dylan is an American singer and actor. She has been a backup singer for Bob Dylan since they met in 1978. She has also sung back-up for Wonderlove, The Carpenters, Kenny Loggins, and Bruce Springsteen[1][2][3] She was the singing voice for the 1991 made for television movie The Josephine Baker Story starring Lynn Whitfield as Josephine Baker.
She married Dylan in June 1986 and had a child with him[4]. She is quoted as saying, "I have three children, but I'm not going to say which ones are Bob Dylan's." Dennis, according to her spokesman, had made a pact with her kids not to publicize their paternity. "Bob Dylan has eight or nine children," Dennis says. "We're not trading on that."[5] Their daughter, Desiree Gabrielle Dennis-Dylan, was born on January 31, 1986. The couple divorced in October 1992.[6]
