Michelle DellaFave

Michelle DellaFave became a familiar face to millions of television viewers in the late 1960s and early '70s through her work each week on Dean Martin’s NBC television series.

At the age of 19, she was selected to be one of Dean’s Golddiggers both on his show and on The Golddiggers' own summer variety series. A year later, she was chosen to be one of four members of The Dingaling Sisters, who performed their own numbers and sang medleys with Dean on every episode of his program.

She made guest appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and The Mike Douglas Show; played one of the Radio City Rockettes in the film version of the musical "Annie".

From 2007 to 2009, she and one of her colleagues from The Dean Martin Show toured the country as the musical duo "Blue Eyed Soul,” entertaining veterans, as well as active duty service men and women, and visiting VA hospitals.

Michelle is now performing for veterans’ groups and headlining concerts at several New York City nightclubs with her musical director, Richie Vitale, including The Metropolitan Room, 54 Below, The Duplex and Don't Tell Mama in Manhattan!

She has two recent vocal CDs available — a pop jazz album called "Cool Burn" and a Gospel collection entitled "Transformed.
