  • Diana Ross, Sarah Vaughn and Nancy Wilson wrapped into one. Amazing voice. Talent like this is rare today.

  • if this was any sweeter my teeth would hurt. oh love you dinah : )

  • Cant watch it on my simple mph,enjoy! COOL WILLEM!

  • I líke much much this song ! ! Jazz :) Dinah Washington

  • thank you for this song...it's 2 and I m doing just the same

  • Rest Peacefully

    DINAH WASHINGTON {1924-1963}

  • So Much Character in the Classic volalists Stylings of the Past.... Hardly any if at all Today.

  • My all-time favorite 'girl singer,' and this is one of my favorites. Reminds me of the days I went nuts over men. Glad them days is gone but I still remember the ache. 

  • @tequilaandoldlace Don't we all honey.

  • Why is it that talents like Amy and Dinah leaves us so soon? Maybe God gets lonely up there and he called them back to entertain him...

  • incredible :)

  • Her voice is audible silk!

  • One of the greatest jazz vocalists ever!

    DINAH WASHINGTON {1924-1963}

  • My grandchildren turned me onto Amy Winehouse and I was wondering why I love her music and it's because I grew up listening to Miss Washington.

  • This is real music. They don't do it like this anymore.

  • Oh, Dinah, you were so great and I love the orchestration on this as well. The Queen.

  • Nancy Wilson should never be discounted like a clearance item. Sarah has her groove with many gems musically and this is a big big world. I "Liked" this pearl.

  • Nancy WIlson should never be discounted like a clearance item. Sarah has her groove with many gems musically and this is a big big world. I "Liked" this pearl.

  • i'd like to like the description, i think i'll just like the song instead. cheers

  • I agree! Every great singer has their own version

  • This is where Amy Whinehouse gets her style. RIP <3

  • @Laydiegodiva Yes!!!

  • @Laydiegodiva ...i think Amy also gets her style from a girl named ''Sarah Lois Vaughan''...listen to her version of ''in a sentimental mood''.... ;)

  • @Laydiegodiva Yep. Amy acknowledged that many times.

  • @Laydiegodiva Finally...someone's got the right idea. However, if you listen to Amy even closer; you'll hear a little Ella, and a piece of Sarah all wrapped in there somewhere too. Great observation:)))

  • @MrKenndawg ...oh, and Bessie too!

  • And I might add, Nancy Wilson is one of the greatest Jazz singers of alltime. There's no need to slag her off. She was influenced by Dinah Washington and Jimmy Scott, but she has many of her own classic recordings. There are some songs that she owns, just like all the greats. For example Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn's 'Lush Life' is associated with Nancy, just like 'I've Got You Under My Skin' is forever associated with Sinatra. This recording is one of Dinah's masterpieces. Peace to all!

  • @bolder2009 I agree! Every great singer has their own version which cannot be touched by anyone. Billie and Frank have quite a few of their own "can't touch this versions". To me only Nancy can sing"Guess Who I Saw Today" And only Dinah can sing tnis song!

    Gloria Lynn-"I Wish You Love", Dakota Staton-"My Funny Valentine", etc. etc. etc. I could go on but we all have our favorite versions. And Nancy is a class act!

  • @early60srcool In my opinion Dinah has quite a few... What a Difference a Day Makes, I'm Mad About the Boy, I Was Just Telling Him About You(my personal favorite). And Dinah didn't like anyone else sing them. LOL Ask Patti labelle...

  • @zamusicza Get Out! Was there a little riff between Labelle and Dinah? Dinah has another song Only she can sing,"This Bitter Earth"! I'm listening to Dinah right now singing, "Drinkin' Again" and got a shiver in my soul! She was something else! I am sooooo glad there are recordings, film, etc. so people can hear what a superstar icon sounds like!!!

  • @early60srcool Early in Patti's career she heard that Dinah was going to attend one of her concerts. Dinah was and is an idol of Patti's. So Patti, in tribute, sang a couple of Dinah's signature songs. Then Dinah was asked by Patti how she like her renditions. Dinah gave her a few smacks to the face, pinned her against the wall and said don't ever sing my songs again. The story is WELL documented and to her credit Patti tells the story with love. LOL Dinah took no crap.

  • great voice great song ... remembering Amy and Dinah

  • the arguing on this is ridiculous...there's room for all artists

  • I can hear a little amy winehouse In her

  • @wilchesE The other way round.

  • @wilchesE Amy stated that Dinah was one of her early influences. What you are hearing is a little Dinah Washington in Amy Winehouse.

  • Bravo for Dinah!!!!!!

  • 07/27/11 WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER, I GOT TO BE IN THE SAME STAGE WITH THIS AMAZING PERFORMER IN AN AMATEUR HOUR PROGRAM. SHE IS MY FAVORITE BLUES SINGER WHO KEEPS ON THE ORIGINAL MELODY AND NOT LIKE THE OTHERS WHO VARY WITH THE LYRICS. THANKS FOR POSTING. roselli

  • with her voice , the strings and great lyrics  PERFECTION

  • Hermosaaaaa.....por favooooorrrrrrr.......

  • This song is not on the album cover shown.

  • I love Dinah, but don't play Nancy Wilson.

  • Hi everyone, I'm a huge fan of the incredibla Dinah and of this song in particular. That's why (I'm drinking again !) it's close to my heart to do my "communication" under this video ^^. My name is Teiva and I make my own music. If you've got the time, I invite you to visit the youtube page I launched a few days ago. I sing my songs with my guitar. "Teivamusic". I hope you'll like it, and if it's the case, I will post my other songs later :-DD

  • NObody did it like this. Nobody.

  • this is the best version of this song Dinah Washington is the best

  • Dinah´s reading is sublime,but I don´t think Nancy Wilson did a bad job.She has her style that shouldn´t be underestimated.I like both,after all they did a Johnny Mercer tune.

  • Damn...so get this song....although I wish I didnt. Dinah is incredible. No one could recreate her style. She's a legend.

  • we all have

  • ¡¡¡Ummmmmmmmm soberbia!!!

  • I'm in love with this

  • Beautiful!

  • Dinah,Dinah,I hear you lady! Been there before,played the part,yes,yes.Can many of us relate? I'm sure. Thank you for sharing this.

  • im 22 and her songs mean something to me when i listen to her! i also love billy holiday too :) great songs and a great voice :)

  • Wow, does this bring back memories...he LOVED Dinah Washington...

  • That's right, she was born Ruth Jones, my former boss Lionel Hampton dubbed her:

    DINAH WASHINGTON. WHAT A VOICE! HER PHRASING WAS KILLER!

  • I dearly love dinah but nobody in the world can ever say that Nancy Wilson sucks. Every artist has there signiature tune, and Nancy was just giving respect to Dinah (born Ruth Jones from Alabams)

  • Every singer has their song... This is hers just as "Guess Who I Saw Today" is Nancy's.. Both great artists!

  • Yes!!!

  • amazing and beautiful

  • Dinah, was one of the greatest. Married to Dick Night Train Lane, of the Detroit Lions. Just awesome lady, just awesome.

  • good lord.

  • wow super great!!!!!

  • Im a new comer to this music but i absolutley LOVE it. I can no longer stand what is being plugged into our heads from the industry. We need to break free and here is my serenity :))

  • @The3Answer1

    I wholeheartedly agree about "breaking free". I seldom listen anymore to "new" music be it pop, country, rock or whatever because I have realized that there is such a bountiful portfolio of recorded music from the 1920's to the 1950's (the period I paid the least attention to) that I want to hear the best of IT before I move on to present day music. This artist, Dinah Washington, is a great example. I had heard little of it. What a loss if I were to ignore it !

  • Dinah... I love you <3

  • Thank God someone recorded one of the greated voices in musical history.

  • I was such a fan of hers and went to see her whenever she came around...and this is my favorite song by her of all my favorites she sang

  • I was such a fan of hers and went to see her whenever she came around...and this is my favorite song by her

  • @grammasharrona wow my mom & grandparent saw her too... they told me they had to sit upstairs in those days... My dad said as a military boy they was warned not to go to the places where she sang sometimes.... Of course they all went & had a good time... NOW that Historic... when they all hear her voice ythey get a shy smile face on their faces..... I was conceived to her music!!.Of course I went to her grave & left flowers....

  • I'm speechless! Even as a little girl (I'm 59 now) I felt the power she displayed and the sorrow she shared about maybe the only man she would ever love. In my child's mind he was a low down dirty dog, but she loved him hard and deep and at this moment there would never be another. That's, how powerful and raw her voice was! And I was just a little 8 or 9 year old girl, greiving with her for her man. You dig it?

  • @early60srcool I dig it

  • I love her versions of "unforgettable" &"this bitter earth", among others, of course! An excellent female vocalist, not very well known by today's "sheeple"!

  • In 1957 a friend and I dropped into the West Adams Hotel bar in Los Angeles. Dinah was staying in the hotel and came down for a drink. She sang for about 4 hours because everyone in the joint was buying her drinks. That was one indelible evening. She got better and better. This song always reminds me of that night. Everybody got lucky!

  • @chilepm1 God I would give my right arm to have been there

  • @chilepm1 wow did they have a camera?

  • I love 3:15 :D

  • Rawr.. Loved this..

    considering rock music is my passion

    this rockd my world <3

  • my name is dinah im famous :p too

  • Who the heck doesn't like Dinah? She kills any jazz singer, including Ella.

  • @operalover41 as amazing as dinah is- don't knock ella :P they are all totes fabulous

  • Classic great song right here!

  • Wow Amy Winehouse's idol the both had problems with depression and drinking. When Amy sings Wake up alone and says "Stay up clean the house at least I'm not drinking." Dinah taught her how to sing along with Frank Sinatra. Love jazz it's so good!! So much so and the beginnings of rhythm and blues!!!

  • I was about 2o y.o. when I realized Dinah was one of, if not the best female singer of all time. Such timing,tone & phrasing!TALENT=GENIUS!

  • Oh Dinah.....My car has not been without one of your cd's since I was able to drive. Miss you so much.

  • Rickie Lee Jones Version is good.

  • Dinah's version is like "helplessly drinking again".

    Nancy's version is like spilling her gut "Guys, I am drinking again".

    There is no reason to compare two different interpretation of the same lyrics.

    Just as there are different ways to cook pork. Good cook makes good dishes.

    I like them both.

  • There will never be another Dinah Washington. There needs to be, but there will never be another like her. What talent.

  • brilliant!what can i say.

  • What an amazing talent.

  • wow...she's gorgeous

  • I wanted some reason to blame on just HAVING ONE DRINK once in a while, Ahhh this gives me a reason for 2. :-))))))) WOW!!! such a velvety voice. Glad I dropped by your channel, after re-reading your lovely words to me. :-) when I was hurting trying to meditate healing on a Being I WILL LOVE FOREVER. :-) Peace and <3 to you!!

  • Amy Winehouse certainly sounds like Dinah.

    Love the piano.

  • i think the emotion is alike but the voice tones are different

  • @Thebirdienumnum I agree they both have amazing voices and Dinah taught her a lot so she only sang one cover of her song because she said in a documentary about Washington's life that she was too good to cover!! She loved her sassy talk and how she was so quick witted in her songs. I love the cover she did of Dinah's Teach me tonight back when she sang a lot of jazz.

  • @Bonitaymorena Great song, Teach Me Tonight.

    Ireally liked the piano version of that played by George Shearing.

  • @Bonitaymorena

    Great song Teach me Tonight.

    Love the piano version by George Shearing.

  • The sad , plaintive resolution in her voice makes this version the best of all... hands down.

  • Nancy Wilson's version is much better. Her voice is far superior in control, dynamics, rich tone, lovely vibrato, and strength. Her emotional performance of the song is stellar as well.

  • @spackar I completely agree with you...

  • explain what u mean by classy?

  • the tone is the same as nancy wilson's. wow.

  • luv it...real classic...della reese also sang a good version....cheers!

  • Shit////////////

  • Sorry mate dinah's version is the best. its not just her voice its the feeling she puts into it.

  • The 2d GREAT VERSION caus' ARETHESQUE style! lol

  • respect.

  • She sang so many fabulous songs. i could not choose between them. One thing for sure though.She was one of the finest singers ever.

  • I love Dinah´s voice. Excellent !!

  • Nancy Wilson's version has raw emotion that can't be touched.  Loved Dinah though.

  • Nancy Wilson's version sucks. This is Dinah's song, my friend...

  • Sucks? Everyone has a right to their own opinion...yours is just wrong.

  • @kgchris If you need Nancy sucking to enjoy Dinah ... poor boy or girl.

  • @kgchris Meanwhile I know Nancys version. You won.

  • Nancy Wilson can't hold a candle to Dinah Washington, especially with this song. This is Dinah's.

  • @kgchris I agree!!! I had this on my answer machine back in the day"

    Beep! I'm trying to make it on home w just a memory!"................

    Beep! My mother hated it! some people didn't get it but I GOT IT! it was funny

  • Yeeeh...she was GREAT!

  • She had so much personality..she could sing and sound conversational at the same time. Amazing.

  • this song is great! and I LOVE the frank sinatra version

  • Love this song! The Frank Sinatra version is great too!

  • LMAO! Girl said that's why I'm drinking again! YES! Oh, I know we've all been there, child.

  • A great talent that left us too soon.

    Thank you Ms. Washington for your beautiful voice. You will live on forever.

  • eh kafano..

  • Que hermosa musica....hasta te dan ganas de haber nacido en esa epoca y poder haber escuchado eso en vivo.

  • She could put that special something into a record......She does this magic....I can identify withall the stuff she does here......past relationships.....Pure golden voice !!!!

  • I always thought that she was better than Ella.

  • Such an amazing song

  • so haunting...i love dinah.

  • wicked, pure and FANTASTIC

  • I am 53 years old and we had a record player and I think I was 7 ish and listened to my moms records and to this day this song is instilled in my head I will never forget this soulful real beautiful album song and artist!!!!

  • @salaceline : I thought my kids hated me for years, they had to endure all my great old music. Now they're die hard jazz fans and two of them grew up to be professional musicians and they can cook! All the divas were wonderful and I got to see them all...ella, sarah, dinah, nancy, della, the mighty aretha, gladys, and so many before and after them. Can't compare, just gotta love it.

  • Dinah had so many undertones and overtones in her voice. The best of all!

  • I agree, the older i get the more i think she is my favorite female vocalistl!! "Where Are You" from the same album "Dinah 62" is one of my favorite records of all time, period. I love Sinatra, but Dinah owns that song.

  • Simply the greatest female vocalist of all time. I love the way Dinah sings everything as if it were a question in this song.

  • amazing lyrics.

  • bravo. :)

  • WOW !!!! Bravo!!!

  • yeah cd, think its a best of..

    from 2.30 her voice is just so powerful and seductive

  • Love it! Is this on CD? I recently posted the same song, but from my scratchy old LP. Best, Ken
