Dottie Mae Delrose

Dottie Mae DelRose stomped her way into America’s jukeboxes in the early 1930s with a pair of rhinestone heels, a ragtime piano, and enough attitude to knock the gin outta your glass. Crowned “The Duchess of Dirty Swing,” Dottie put the “boogie” in boogie woogie—mixing raucous rhythms with sharp-tongued lyrics that made flappers blush and bartenders weep.

Her breakout hit in 1935, “You Smell Like a Cheap Perfume (And It Ain’t Chanel),” was an instant sensation and a public relations disaster for perfume counters everywhere. Inspired by a rival singer’s not-so-luxurious scent, the song was banned in Boston, bootlegged in Brooklyn, and reportedly caused three breakups and a pie fight in Cincinnati.

Dottie toured the speakeasy circuit with a piano she named “Lucifer” and a backup band called The Smell-Tones. She was known to slap keys, sass hecklers, and sip martinis mid-solo. Her music may be vintage, but her attitude was always ten years ahead of its time—and at least one man behind on his alimony.
