* Kathy Dosdall is an American musician and vocalist, known as a member of the electronic band Information Society. She joined the band in the late 1980s and contributed to their distinctive sound. Dosdall was particularly important in shaping the band's vocal arrangements and bringing a more diverse vocal presence alongside the band's main vocalist, Kurt Harland.

Role in Information Society:

• Kathy Dosdall was featured as a background vocalist and co-vocalist on various tracks, particularly in the early years of the band's career.
• Her voice helped balance and complement Kurt Harland’s lead vocals, adding more texture and depth to the band's dynamic.
• Dosdall contributed to some of the group’s most famous tracks, such as "What's on Your Mind (Pure Energy)" and other songs from their self-titled debut album (1988).

After Information Society:

• Dosdall worked in the music industry for more than 30 years, was best known for her last job as a buyer for the powerful and now-defunct Musicland chain. Dosdall was primarily the country and kids’ product buyer at the end of her stay with that company, but was also the first rap buyer for the chain. She retired from the industry when Best Buy acquired the chain and then moved the Musicland staff to its headquarters.
  
  Dosdall began her career in the record business immediately after graduating from school as a record picker in the now-defunct Dart Distributing rackjobbing operation in Minneapolis. She also joined the Pickwick wholesale operation, which also spawned the Musicland chain. While at Pickwick she switched from the warehouse to the front office, and when the wholesaler was going out of business in the mid-1980s, she landed a job with the Musicland chain.

Though Kathy Dosdall may not have had a high-profile solo career, her contributions to the band's sound helped shape Information Society's early success and legacy in the synthpop and electronic music scenes.

Plot Overview:

Set in the African savannah, The Lion King tells the story of Simba, a young lion who is destined to become king after his father, Mufasa, the ruler of the Pride Lands. However, after a tragic event orchestrated by Simba's uncle, Scar, Simba runs away, feeling guilty for his father's death. Simba spends years in exile, growing up with two carefree companions, Timon and Pumbaa. Eventually, Simba returns to challenge Scar, reclaim his birthright, and restore balance to the Pride Lands.

Key Characters:

• Nala: Simba’s childhood friend and later his queen, who encourages him to return to the Pride Lands.
• Timon and Pumbaa: A meerkat and a warthog who become Simba’s loyal and comedic companions during his exile.

Music:

The film's music is one of its most standout elements. The soundtrack was composed by Hans Zimmer, with iconic songs by Elton John and Tim Rice.

• "Circle of Life" – Performed by Carmen Twillie and Lebohang Morake, this song is featured at the opening of the film and has become one of the most iconic Disney songs of all time.
• "Hakuna Matata" – A fun and carefree song sung by Timon and Pumbaa, teaching Simba their philosophy of "no worries."
• "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" – A romantic ballad performed by Elton John (sung by Simba and Nala), which became one of the most memorable songs from the movie.
