Dolette McDonald (born February 2, 1952)
'''Dolette McDonald''' (born February 2, 1952) was a part of the first live expanded lineup of Talking Heads, first performing with the band at Heatwave Festival on [[1980 August 23]]. Dolette mainly sung backing vocals, occasionally playing auxiliary percussion.
 
First beginning to sing as part of a Pentecostal Church choir, Dolette would eventually get her start professionally singing backup for disco records. This would lead her into similar circles to bassist [[Busta Jones]], who asked Dolette to join Talking Heads on the their [[1980-1981 tour]] to support [[Remain in Light]].
 
Dolette would continue to play with Talking Heads through 1982, with her final performance with the band being on 1982 September 22 on the University Patio of [[Miami University]]. Following her time with Talking Heads, Dolette would sing with groups like [[Gang of Four]], [[The Police]] and [[Steve Winwood]].
