Today we look back on the incredible career of Dinah Lee.
Bursting onto the music scene out of Ōtautahi/Christchurch she was a success right out of the gate with her debut album 'Introducing Dinah Lee' in 1964.
She found major success across the ditch too, and became New Zealand's most successful female artist of the 1960s.
To take us through her music and career I'm joined by Dr Kimberly Cannady, a senior lecturer in ethnomusicology and director of the music studies programme at Victoria University.
