Carolyn Dennis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carolyn Dennis (born 1954), sometimes professionally known as Carol Dennis or Carol Dennis-Dylan is an African-American singer and actor. She was a backup singer for Bob Dylan from soon after they met in 1978 until 1987. During the last two years of her spell in Dylan's touring band, her mother, Madelyn Quebec, was also a member of the vocal quartet which was known during that period as The Queens Of Rhythm.
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]
