at United Church on 300 Bloor Street West, Toronto.

The songs that Dahlia sang were huge hits
 and rank among the great timeless classics of yesteryear.

 One was 'You're Nobody till Somebody Loves You'. This was a popular song written by Russ Morgan, Larry Stock, and James Cavanaugh and published in 1944. The song was first recorded by Morgan and has been covered by numerous artists. It is best known in versions by Dean Martin, who recorded it for Reprise Records in 1965 and reached #24 on the US pop chart and #1 on the easy listening chart, and by The Mills Brothers. It was the B-side to Frankie Vaughan's hit single "There Must Be a Way", which broke into the UK top ten.

The second was "Taking a Chance on Love", another very popular song by Vernon Duke with lyrics by John Latouche and Ted Fetter, published in 1940, which has become a standard, recorded by many artists. It was introduced in the 1940 show Cabin in the Sky, a ground-breaking Broadway musical with an all black cast, where it was performed by Ethel Waters and Dooley Wilson. The re-released Benny Goodman version featuring Helen Forrest reached #1 in 1943.  ~ Wikipedia
