Great song and performance. The backing orchestra was directed by Walter Rodell, but does anyone know who the trombonist is at the beginning and end? All discographies state "unknown" but the style sounds familiar.
I'm Mad About the Boy...all of them. All sizes and shapes, young and old, all of them who tormented me when I didn't even understand these lyrics; movie stars, cowboys and dangerous types I dared not look at too long but I knew I would find him and Lord knows I'm not a fool but I have loved each and every longing moment this beautiful voice gave birth to these feelings...thank you and allowing me such misery and joy...
please someone...post 'baby, did you hear?' it's fantastic and her voice is great in this song.....it's such a pity that this song does not exist in youtube.....???......
Noel Coward probably did write this song about a boy(man). Somepeople think it was Cary Grant but probably the Duke of Kent one of the King of Englands brothers.
For anyone interested in listening to a superb rendering of Dinah Washington's "Drinkin Again," go to iTunes and download Tasha Thomas' version. It's one of the most innovative takes of this song I've ever heard. Great session players, too.
Dinah is terrific! But if you can find a guy singing it.......well it works well too ,wonder why? Cole porter was the man to write about such shocking things all those decades ago!!
Dinah Washington ! My God Just listen to that vocal instrument she possesses. It's a precious tool that she wields with the authority of a Queen. She could read the telephone book and make it sound like a stone groove. Even Bird (Charlie Parker) thou she was a gas and partied with her (to excess) on numerouis occasions. In fact the night before Bird was thrown out of Birdland and swallowed a vial of iodine, he had spent the evening imbibing with Dinah, leaving them unable to work, drunk.
She is sooo great.. You can't compare to singers nowadays. Amy Winehouse can sing like this, when she sober. She sings comparable to Dinah at the winter warmer. But still she isn't as good as Dinah Washington in this vid! She's amazing!
and Dinah Washington made her name as a rhythm and blues singer at first...what "r&b" singer of today can even TRY to sing jazz like Dinah could?...maybe Jill Scott?...maybe Ledisi? (who doesn't get her due)...they don't make singers like Dihan anymore
When it comes to song interpretation, their are few that match the incomparable Dinah Washington. It's almost as if she was singing and talking to you, and only you, all at once. Just pure magic.
I was a toddler when Dinah died, but according to my Dad she was the greatest singer of all time. I know every song, thanks to my Dad, he 80 years old and thanks to you and other Dinah fans on youtube, I was able to sit my laptop on his bed and play videos like this for him. You gave and old man great pleasure and
OK this and Esther Ofarim are the best singing this song, check Esther out you will love it she sings it in London and I feel its a bit better than even this and I love Dinah
Screw you c**ts, got my vid removed for using this song. dont u tossers realise, with 250,000 views it was getting the song OUT THERE!!?? why don'y you get the f**k off youtube if you don't like how it works???
That voice of hers is like chocolate, smooth, dark, rich, velvety and delightful. Thanks for the memories Dinah.Thanks to the universalmusicgroup for posting.

its to bad the past is behind us ....no matter what any people say about how the world was many years ago ...it is really to bad that the children of todays world .. will never .. ever get to see how it was ..
A magic song, written for a man by.. a man (Noel Coward)..Her best of on Mercury (from vol. 3 to vol.7) are WORTH BUYING......Lots of terrific songs, unbelievable melodies..
I think she's got the best voice ever. I can't quite get into Ella's scat or Billie's voice metre. (No offense) & Nancy Wislon confuses me when I catch her, BY MISTAKE, on my Sirius. hmmmm
Amy Winehouse got inspiration of many great divas. Anyway (Amyway), Amy has an unique voice and she is already a legend. Maybe the best singer in her genre.
I've always heard Dinah Washington in Amy's voice, probably more than any previous singer. They are not the same at all, but I bet Amy would admit to copping some of Dinah's inflections!
who cares about who copys who ??.. If you do the song better than the person you heard do it ... so what ....and you will prob. say Dinah stole "Sept. in The Rain".. or "Unforgetable" ...do you think Nat King Cole sang it better .. Hell No he didnt ..and this crap about ELVIS stealing songs from Blacks....was he supposed to take money to the writters .. how the hell did he know who got paid ...Dinah was the very best ...and yes .. she died with a needle in her arm.
What a fantastic voice and what a range! She has such character in her voice and sings with a beautiful quality that's all her own. What a tragedy that she died so young.
This is sophisticated black music,Amy is only 10% of dinah,also there are many black/mulatto
woman singers from1920s up to present day,that are better than Amy,white people always say there version is better, like elvis who stole songs off blacks,it is obvious amy whitehouse is nowhere near Dinahs standard in class as well as voice,this was an era when black america was great before crack and gun violence harlem was the place to be even for white people. Great era.
agree with u there lol but id call it the dynamic 6 and put in nina simone and bessie smith too! I always have a different fav depending what mood im in lol! yeah i cant really think of any artists 2day that i can really see on the same level. its sad really
You Cant Beat The Dinamic Four Billy, Sarah, Dinah, Ella... I dont Care who or What R&B Singer Come Out of the Wood Works You Could never Compare or Beat These Lady's In a Million Years.. Not Only Great But a Class Act.. In its Own.. Hal Mooney Did Great Arrangements
i don't know why everyone is comparing her to amy but i think dinah is wicked and amy is fantastic aswell.. she's in a bad state now but amy was up there. If Amy was the original then everyone would say she was better but Dinah is 40 yrs before her time & is the original ..
i dont mind Amy Winehouse, she has an good voice and a great style but i hate it when people make out that she is better than she is. I have actually heard people say she is the best female singer of all time. Im sorry but winehouse is not billie, bessie and certainly not dinah, she is not even comparable!
I like to feel sexy....knowing someone is watching me ..wanting me...turns me on!BADLY!

It is absolutely sacrilege to invoke Winehouse and Washington in the same breath. Whatever Winehouse's talents may be, she has miles and decades to go before she attains the stature of a Dinah Washington.
indeed, amy winehouse will not be forgotten. i haven't been impressed w/ any female artist to the degree that i am w/ amy in 20 years. one can hear why washington is her fave...
Noel Coward wrote the song when he was madly infatuated with Laurence Olivier. Dinah was a remarkably versatile artist--she could sing ANY and EVERY type of song magnificently. She was justly proud of that ability.
Amy borrows from everybody black. She sounds like Lauren Hill, Dinah, Etta and Ronnie Spector and even Bassey at times. She has a good ear. She's talented but she ain't special or original.
You may not think Amy is anyone special, that is your opinion, however, the woman writes all her own music and at the age of 24, she writes profound songs that are original.
To make a racist comment that she borrows from everyone black is ignorant.
She comes from a family of jazz musician's and was exposed to the music of some GREAT jazz singers who happen to be black.
She's the 1st female British artist to win 5 Grammy awards so that ain't to shabby for a white girl!
That's your opinion. I have the whole Fitzgerald, Washington and Vaughan collection plus some Billy Holiday, all considered the greatest of Jazz and call me nuts but I believe Amy Winehouse belongs to this elite group. Her performances of Teach me Tonight, No Greater Love and Someone to Watch Over Me (just to name 3) are of a level that few can reach.
Dinah could do no wrong to any song she sang!

A little history- This song was written by Noel Coward for his lover. He was gay. He wrote both music and lyric.

This is one of my all-time favorite songs, I love Dinah. She was one of the greatest singers to grace a stage.

Eartha sounds like Dinah. LOL. Her she was well established as a great singer prior to Eartha. I like them both.
Hey universalmusicgroup could you please upload Dinah's version of "Cold Cold Heart" if you have it?

Amy borrows from everybody black. She sounds like Lauren Hill, Dinah, Etta and Ronnie Spector and even Bassey at times. She has a good ear. She's talented but she ain't special or original.

You may not think Amy is anyone special, that is your opinion, however, the woman writes all her own music and at the age of 24, she writes profound songs that are original.
To make a racist comment that she borrows from everyone black is ignorant.
She comes from a family of jazz musician's and was exposed to the music of some GREAT jazz singers who happen to be black.
She's the 1st female British artist to win 5 Grammy awards so that ain't to shabby for a white girl!

That's your opinion. I have the whole Fitzgerald, Washington and Vaughan collection plus some Billy Holiday, all considered the greatest of Jazz and call me nuts but I believe Amy Winehouse belongs to this elite group. Her performances of Teach me Tonight, No Greater Love and Someone to Watch Over Me (just to name 3) are of a level that few can reach.
