American singer and songwriter from New York. Born 1930 and died in the 80s.
Dorian Burton was one of those rare songwriters who seemed equally adept at writing country and soul material, although his main successes were with R&B performers in 1956, including two hit collaborations with Howard Plummer for LaVern Baker. His top charting song was A Tear Fell by Teresa Brewer, and written by Burton and Eugene Randolph, #5 in the U.S. and #2 in U.K. in 1956. I Can't Love You Enough by LaVern Baker, and written by Burton, Howard Plummer & LaVern Baker, hit #22 U.S., also in 1956.
Brother of George Burton. BMI IPI #: 4646996.
