Needs vast revision[edit]

Will start working on this soon when I can. Major amounts of basic context such as his sister Dorothy Rogers being just as crucial to his role in his early years, including the fact that the two of them truly joined the Osborne orchestra back in 1935. His time with Jack Hylton's orchestra in Europe in the later 30s, his earlier compositions, There is no sourcing that says at all that Rogers was with Noble's orchestra, only that he wrote Harlem Nocturne with Hagan--who was in the orchestra. Not to mention the fact that Rogers wouldn't write lyrics for over a decade on it. Osborne's departure is the wrong year, as well as the entire sequence of the Billboard review is shamelessly written in a way that creates a falsehood far greater than anything else I've seen on this website.

All will be corrected in time once I find time to start working on it. Currently though I'll start by adding a picture of Dick. I'll probably create a section for Dorothy--if not his time with Dorothy--as there unfortunately isn't enough on Dorothy before she dropped out of the entire music scene, to warrant making a separate article for her and we know nothing else confirmable of her after the fact.

Edit: Have added picture, edited template, and cleaned up site to be more factually accurate and presentable, as well as correcting sources and given better context. Still has much work left to go. But no time right now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CDPorter (talk • contribs) 22:09, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
