Timeline

1919

Lucille Dumont (born Lucelle Dumont; January 20, 1919 – July 29, 2016) was a Canadian singer and radio and television host.

She is credited by the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame with having "served and personified Quebec popular music" and popularized the music of Quebec songwriters by singing their songs.

She is also credited with being "at the birth of Quebec television," participating in Radio Canada's first television shows.

Lucelle Dumont was born on January 20, 1919, in Montreal, Quebec.

At a young age, she was encouraged by her mother – who possessed a somewhat unorthodox attitude for the time – to perform on a radio station.

She began hosting the Linger Awhile and Two Messengers of Melody radio show the same year, with Le Sieur performing the organ on the latter show at James S. Ogilvy's Tudor Hall.

Radio Canada hired Dumont to participate in or host shows including Variétés françaises, Rêverie, Sur les boulevards, Le moulin qui jazze, Le p’tit bal des copains, Connaissez-vous la musique, Tambour battant and Hier, aujourd'hui.

In the early stages of her career, Dumont primarily performed Lucienne Boyer's songs, focusing on French music from the start.

1945

In April 1945, at a War Loan Drive concert, she performed Insensiblement, composed by Paul Misraki and conducted by Ray Ventura.

This was the Quebec premiere of the song and was known as an "astounding success."

Ventura invited Dumont to travel to France and go on a performing tour; however, she turned down the offer as she would marry Jean Maurice Bailly, a sports commentator at Radio Canada, in two months.

The Canadian Encyclopedia describes Dumont as songwriter Jacques Blanchet's "greatest interpreter."
