== Beginnings ==
Dolorez Alexandria Turner was born on August 14, 1929 in Chicago, Illinois. Growing up she began singing gospel music in church choirs and traveled throughout the Midwest with a traveling Baptist ''a cappella'' group. Later, when she entered the Chicago club circuit, she became a regular performer at venues like the Brass Rail and the Cloister Inn.〔Carr, Ian and Digby Fairweather and Brian Priestly and Charles Alexander. The Rough Guide to Jazz. Penguin Books, 2004. p. 10〕 In Chicago, Alexandria became a local favorite and recorded for the first time for several independent local labels, most notably King Records, and later Argo Records. During this early part of her career, she was closely connected with the Chicago pianist, composer and bandleader Walter "King" Fleming who would go on to provide the accompaniment for her debut album ''This is Lorez''.〔Friedwald, Will.
