According to Harlem Renaissance Lives (edited by Henry Louis Gates and Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham), Davenport and Carr met in 1922 and toured the Theater Owners Bookers Association as "Davenport and Company". Eight songs were released by Vocalion Records in the vaudevillian duet style. The band broke up when Dora left Davenport for another man, whom she later married.
