Anita Blanch Boyer Dukoff, known as Anita Boyer (25 October 1915 in Carmi, Illinois – 17 March 1985 in South Miami, Florida) was an American singer of the Big Band Era, described by Billboard as "one of the music business's most proficient canaries". She was noted for performances with Tommy Dorsey (1939), Leo Reisman (1940–41), Artie Shaw (1940), Nat King Cole (1941–44), Jerry Wald (1942–43) and Hoagy Carmichael (1945). With Dorsey she helped popularize the song "I Concentrate On You", and with Reisman she recorded the song "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" for Pal Joey. In the 1950s, Boyer became a songwriter, and she wrote songs such as "I Foresee In the Future" and "I Gambled with Love" with Paul Weirick in 1954. She finally settled in the Miami area with her second husband, saxophonist, composer, audio engineer and mouthpiece maker Bobby Dukoff.
