One of the most important figures in R and B is the band leader, Louis Jordan he was the first R and B star. he was the one Ronnie was speaking to at the beginning of the segment. You can check him out on YouTube

[mrstanbmw]

[francescodisanfranci]

[MiiSsMiiNa]

I don't know how it was who clicked on 'dislike' but I never wish to never meet him/her

[vincee10134]

Ronald Reagan! Are kidding me!

[cadbetts]

I mean just listen to her voice! How could anybody's voice sound so amazing. It's a wonder how God can create such a voice.

[tryjzz]

Yes, you are right! Jim

[Angel19403]

The first thing I thought when I saw the host of the show was, Is that Ronald Reagan? Can anyone confirm if it's true or not?

[Tau1908]

@Angel19403 Yes, it was Ronald Reagan. One man calls him by his first name.

[dggd]

Ahhh...her expression at 2:11 into 2:12. So lovely...I love you to pieces DInah.

[tryjzz]

Yes, you are right. Jim

[gregoriodavila]

Is the host Ronald Reagan?

[paulgdb]

She was my girlfriend too. I still love her and listen to all her songs. I have been a fan for over fifty years. She was one of kind. A treasure for everyone to enjoy.

[nicetryjason]

...wish I was born in her era.. she went out like a rock star, O.D.ed at the height of her popularity. found some of her records at the thrift store and this song is on it. I love her voice so much, I play my 4 D.W. records over and over.. cant get enough!

[mikedanso]

Has anyone who viewed this clip realized that the Host/Commentator at the Apollo Theater was none other than the late great President of the United States, and Nancy's Husband, Ronald Reagan, I guess there was more to this man than His Party let us know, because Dinah and Mr. Jordan,according to my mother , who worked with them , had no time for phonies or two faced humans..Good for him...Yup! " Ronnie" Reagan. Dinah was / is inimitable and fabulous!

[luviananna]

Reagan the rich mans buddy, "slumming"! 

[Streamline09]

With Reagan introducing, it must have been a GE sponsored show. What was the show and when was it filmed? 1952? Thanks.

[draven26]

Hooch isss crazy

[broxxx1138]

this song will be played the night i died bloody hell what a beautiful song from a beautiful woman

this song to me means lights out ,bars closed, its over for now boy...love it

[poutrageous85]

I adore Dinah so, so much. If you have any more video of her, please, don't hold out on us!

[OlfArts]

Christ... it's Ronnie Regan introducing!!!

[MrNewtcummer]

she had a cute devlish look about her.

[luvmyrecords]

"Excuse me, Ronnie" lol! The record is in C, here she's in A, and swinging harder than ever. This proves she was the Queen!

[nagibler]

Interesting to see Ronald Reagan doing the intro. Who would've known he'd become President of the United States?

[RasMajnouni]

@nagibler "Who knows what evil lurks inside the heart's of men"? ..."The 'Shadow does'.All is seen as today time is just a celluloid newsreel that may be found and viewed on YouTube.

[renatamonique]

i love her!!

[playgirlc]

beautiful

[KojiRecords]

This footage is invaluable to those that know and love Miss D: from a musical perspective, notice how she was able to glide from her newfound pop success with her big hit record, What a Diff'rence a Day Makes" to her more comfortable jazz roots with "Makin' Whoopee!" And to have her Mercury Records labelmate, the great Louis Jordan doing romantic horn obligatos behind Dinah while leadint a swinging band. How cool is that?

[dixoin56]

WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great music great post one of my faves saw her before she passed at the Mich state fair w Les & Larry Elgart. Brings back great memories.

[extremegoober]

REGAN PUNCH

[RivaJane]

REGAN SMASH lol

[sweetdiddy1]

look its ronald regan our former president @ the start of the video!!

[davepenny]

Wrong Louis - it was Louis PRIMA who co-wrote "Sing Sing Sing".

[moonglows1]

you are absolutely correct...brain freeze." sometimes my mind and my hands do not work harmoneously. Thanks for the correction.

[TheFalconracer]

She had the world of 'blues' wrapped up in her songs. You should hear what she does to Hank Williams song. Thanks for the post!

[Heat160]

Wonderful video..thanks for posting!

[TheMoira1]

wow! what a clip!

thanks for posting!

[sjofu]

Great music ,something that brings us all together!Does anyone know what year this was made?

[LePoteAmarcel]

i so much love the "swingin' miss 'd'" album (on wich, by the way is a great version of  "making whopee", much slower than this one).

[strongrj]

Now this is my "girlfriend"! She's been dead about as long as I have been on this earth but Dinah is my favorite! Oh I just love her style so!!! My neighbor laughs at me because when I play Dinah's music I talk back to it. You know the usual phrases..."I know that's right"...."uh-huh"....tell it now"...*lol*. Great post!

[mzkimberley]

@strongrj I hear you child

[Nijeta1]

Wonderful Grandma Dinah. I haven't this version of her singing this song. Glad it was posted.

[rollercoasterloop]

The difference is you Dinah.

[skipper8257]

@rollercoasterloop

Yes

[swinginkatz]

The Great Dinah, I agree, about the cemetary. Lets hope her and many others are ok in Heaven.. Dinah is on my channel.

[eroticnyguy]

Class, Style , Substance, Beauty. Nothing could be fina than Dinah!

[bobbymarsh1]

funny they call this blues and not jazz. however, its great anyway.

[happy2oblige]

Shivery... lovely... thanks.

[jonnietaff69]

This is great!!!

[babzter]

The MC was the late Ronald Reagan!

[felicitysonging]

Yes, that is Ronnie Reagan former gov of Calif & US president . I wanted to see & hear Ms. Washington & stumbled on him, pleasantly surprised!!!

I hear Natalie Wilson in her voice! So, Ms. Wilson was influenced by Ms Washington. Yes, this is jazz not blues. I hear jazz chords, not blues chords!

I sure hope Burr Oak Cemetary's, Ms. Town had enough respect for the remains of Ms. Washington! My prayers go out to the family of this crime-horrible! Please Regulate the Funeral industry!!!!

[lagazelle8]

[SophyaFromBrazil]

And you tryjzz, you`re a treasure too.

[damienjazz]
