Dale Evans

Dale Evans (October 31, 1912 – February 7, 2001) was an American writer, film star and singer-songwriter. She was the third wife of singing cowboy Roy Rogers.

Early life

Born in Uvalde, Texas, she had a tumultuous early life. She was born in 1912 to T. Hillman Smith and Bettie Sue Wood, and was named Lucille Wood Smith at birth; the name was changed to Frances Octavia Smith while she was still an infant.

At age 14, she eloped with her first husband, Thomas F. Fox, to whom she bore one son, Thomas F. Fox, Jr., when she was 15. A year later, she found herself in Memphis, Tennessee, a single parent, pursuing a career in music. She landed a job with local radio stations (WMC and WREC), singing and playing piano. Divorced in 1929, she took the name Dale Evans in the early 1930s to promote her singing career.

Early career

After beginning her career singing at the radio station where she was employed as a secretary, Evans had a productive career as a jazz, swing, and big band singer that led to a screen test and contract with 20th Century Fox studios. She gained exposure on radio as the featured singer for a time on the Edgar Bergen/Charlie McCarthy show.

    Chama Ardente

    by: Delfins

    Eu sentia a vinda da nova visão
    Eu sentia a mudança
    Nas chamas de uma casa em fogo em celebra�o
    Eu sentia u calor de um corpo a arder
    Eu sentia a tenta�o
    Daquelas festas de verão até o amanhecer
    Eu sei lá u que sentia - também seria amor?
    Sei lá u que fazia - será que fiz amor?
    Eu sei lá u que dizia
    Sei lá onde eu ia
    Sei lá u que fazia, amor...
    A chama ardente vela por mim
    A chama ardente está entre nós
    Eu sentia-te a chorar como um bebe
    Eu sentia em ti u medo
    De olhares para o céu i queimares u nosso segredo
    Eu sei lá u que sentia - também seria amor?
    Sei lá u que fazia - será que fiz amor?
    Eu sei lá u que dizia
    Sei lá onde eu ia
    Sei lá u que fazia, amor...
    A chama ardente vela por mim
