Strong performances from an album that was supposed to be full of duets... however Dinah walked out and the album only had 4 sides with the both of them, this was after the success of "Baby you got what it takes." They came across so well connected on wax too bad she was such a Prima Donna.
Dinah Washington is one of the greatest female singers of all time. If you listen to some of her other songs you will hear flexibility, power and she hits the exact note every time.
This is a real fun song, and they are having a great time singing it. Brook started one of her verses and she had to sneak in. That's what she's referring to at the
end when she tells him to "stay out of my spot". What great fun and what wonderful
....this particular recording could have been live from a TV or stage show, definitely not the vinyl 45 that was released back then. But keep looking you'll probably come across the one mean.
While they may have not gotten along well, Brook or any other person, would not live long, if they called Dinah, 'bitch'. She was the Queen of jazz, and one of the most respected people in the industry.
No one like her since, and IMHO, only Billie Holiday in the past. Brook was a great vocalist as well.
OK i know i am gonna get crucified for this but Dinah's voice is defitnetley the better of the two on this track theres just something bout her voice that defo leaves him in the shade. sorry for me it has to be shaky and Bonnie both voices sit perfectly with the song. but on this Dinah is defitnetley the stronger voice brook sounds kind of flat to me
It's "Hey. Dig this. You remember this?" He even later says, "I'm diggin' you." & "You dig the rock?" He was a professional. He wouldn't have called her a bitch. This isn't the 'hiphop' of today. These people had sense and sensability. They handled their business. Respectfully. They delt with their differences. Preofessionally.
I swear Brook Called Dinah a Bitch @ 00:43 ... i listened to it over and over again..
and i know they didn't like each other.. . at first i thought he said.. "hey, i bet you remember this"... but it also sounds like.. "Hey bitch you remember this"... lol
No.. I do NOT here him say bitch.. and I'm sure he would not do that while they were making a song together... that would not have been very professional to say the least.
@HNK222 I hear it..... wow, chill out ... i'm pretty positive that i said that "it sounds like he says it".... at any rate it's a great song.. i just hate that songs were so short back then.
@pushkint1 I know I heard it before i even put the first comment on here, I meant that it almost sounds like he says that. As badass as Dinah was i know he knew better.. i don't know why everyone is freaking out on here about my comment though....
@strandwolf wow, what a slap in the face.. I actually do have pretty good speakers, though they're not worthy of my name, haha.. Chill out people, geez
@malcolmxfool Okay...I didn't know you'd been thoroughly raked over the coals before I chimed in but I see numerous chastisers beat me to the punch as it were. However, there is a wild and naughty song from the the Fifties or early sixties. Put this in the YouTube search window: Jackie Wilson & LaVern Baker, ''Think Twice'' (X-rated version) ...
@strandwolf yeah i'm beaten and bruised up over here over that comment...
YESSS i've heard that .. i love both that song and the original. Also, to set the record straight, Dinah is one of my favorite artists (of all time). She's one of the ones that i listen to everyday, so i definitely haven't anything but love for her AND Brook.
Hahaha, I think you're right. But I believe she herself used to call herself bitch. There is an excellent documentary called "Evil Gal Blues". On this her pals tell she had a strong personality and very outspoken. I think she needed to be that way to deal with prejudice of skin and male world. Also there is a vid of her where the host introduce her as Queen of Blues and she say something like "Well darling, people use to call me with another name". She was GREAT. Cheers
Thx for sharing. The pairing of Dinah Washington and Brook Benton is incredible. Their voices mesh so well. This is too smooth. These are true artists. I believe that "You Got What It Takes" is another song they sang together.
i just bougt an old 1978 lincoln town coupe.and in the car i found an old 8 track cassete with brook benton and with this song on it. i have played it alot it is very very good!

@bobbysocksbaby21 This is exactly why I searched for it here... that movie is really great (unfortunately it breaks my heart every time I see it) and just have to love the sequence where they play this song...
The harmony between the two is amazing. They seemed to have a lot of fun during recording. In comparison, today's acts are just Someshit feat. Anothershit.
@Corbon440 No ! They did not like each other at all...specially Dinah disliked totally Brooks general way of being...she said that he was arrogant and she felt exploited as he claimed all the success for their duets....
And, just in case anyone is in any doubt, I can tell you that "rockin" as in "rockin good way" is definitely NOT a four-letter word!! Just thought I'd better clear up that little matter. Love to one and all from Jarrahnut (Big Hugh from Mundlimup) in wonderful Western Australia.
Great number ... just a pity that you missed the first few bars. I think this would have been released about 1959? Thanks rpbizzle ... good on ya! Well done.
Oh man, what a lovely duo. Love your songs man. It brings back fondest memories to our family here in New Zealand. Your most popular song was The Bo Wee Val Song. Wasn't that a great hit for you. Remember that when I was in my late 20s Bro. Anyway from all of us here from New Zealand thanks for the memories Bro, you have been a classic. God Bless you my man.
@GETTINGYOUNGERONE Actually, Brook died April 9, 1988 (twenty-two years ago) in Queens, NY. He was only 57 years old. He had 49 charted singles during his career and even wrote some big hits for other artists. His biggest song of all time was Rainy Night in Georgia, of course...the one he's most remembered for. He was a class act all the way. Gorgeous voice.
Early 60s was hard times for black people & talented musicians. Unfortunately drug prevalance and easy accessibiltity created an escape route for the likes of D.W.
right on, au33, I know I sound like an old fart but when I do my best to rasp out a pale imitation of Gene Vincent or Brook Benton I can catch a glimpse of the spirit behind the voices and yes, they are rare spirits. Just because these gems are hard to find on the radio, we have the blessed You-Tube. Thank you for posting, rpbizzie.
The reason you don't here singers like that anymore, those singers developed there singing styles on the road doing a million one nighter apart from other singers, today manufactured talents listen to the radio and say I can sing like that and so they do.
She died from those pills for she was popping so many pills in her and also had insomnia too. She wrecked her body at such a young age with the pills and the alcohol but some folks forget that the body is a machine that will break down if you abuse it and so many, many people continue to do just that. Dinah should've been around for a long time but we lost her before she got to her prime. She's still one of the best singers that ever lived.
one story i heard was that Brook Benton didn't want to get romantically involved with her..she was married 6 times by the time they recorded their two duets....Baby, You Got What It Takes was the other
actually she killed herself with alcohol.7 marriages and depression.such a shame for such a beautiful talented lady.gone at 39!thank you dinah and brook.one of the best tunes ever.
Brook Benton had a great voice and just was a super over all Talent ...his only problem was during his later days he was chosen to do an intro at the Grammies .. or one of those bug shoe deals from hollywood....Brook came onCamera ... Drunk at hell ...he could hardly stand uo .. it may have been something .. but the man was waisted .. couldnt neven get his words out ... it was his big chance .. but he screwed it all that nite ....it may be posted somewhere ...
This 1960 duet has always been a favorite of mine from the 60's, and what more can be said about this duo, two of the most respected singers in music history.
any one know why Dinah didn't like Brook. I hear she thought he was a hayseed or something. Brook Benton could sing circles around anyone in his generation.
ZZYZZX1 Dinah didn't like Brook because she was living out one of her classic songs "Evil Gal Blues"! LOL! Read her biography "Queen" by Nadine Cahodas. She could be one "evil gal"!
Add &fmt=18 to the end of the URL to hear in wide stereo. Dinah and Brooks vocals are separated into left/right speakers, not that uncommon for sixties stereo.
Fine.

Brook Benton had a great voice and just was a super over all Talent ...his only problem was during his later days he was chosen to do an intro at the Grammies .. or one of those bug shoe deals from hollywood....Brook came onCamera ... Drunk at hell ...he could hardly stand uo .. it may have been something .. but the man was waisted .. couldnt neven get his words out ... it was his big chance .. but he screwed it all that nite ....it may be posted somewhere ...

Benjamin Franklin Peay (September 19, 1931 — April 9, 1988), man's man baby. Could sing you out or under the table baby makes no difference.

This 1960 duet has always been a favorite of mine from the 60's, and what more can be said about this duo, two of the most respected singers in music history.

This is a giant of a classic. My,My what else can I say. SEXY, GROVY and I wish I were there when he recorded this song.

This is one of those songs that is a killer just as soon as you first hear it. A clasic that couldn't be done better by anyone, ever. A real beauty.

any one know why Dinah didn't like Brook. I hear she thought he was a hayseed or something. Brook Benton could sing circles around anyone in his generation.

ZZYZZX1 Dinah didn't like Brook because she was living out one of her classic songs "Evil Gal Blues"! LOL! Read her biography "Queen" by Nadine Cahodas. She could be one "evil gal"!

Add &fmt=18 to the end of the URL to hear in wide stereo. Dinah and Brooks vocals are separated into left/right speakers, not that uncommon for sixties stereo.
