His bands main attraction was vocalist Dolly Dawn, who eventually assumed leadership of the organisation under the banner of "Dolly Dawn & Her Dawn Patrol". As for Hall himself, he was once described by music critic George T. Simon as an affable man who resembled "a chief buyer in a mens clothing store" more than he did a bandleader.
