Nice pic

[MrFajny20]

I will never have my love. Do you share my pain?

[nigerkubra]

what a gusting pict.

[babyflyoO]

i love the bass in this song and the tragicness.

[TheFlameforTrouble]

I guess i had the best when it came to music in the cradle i was listing to this stuff it is one of my favorites

[BloodyCatastrophee]

damn good song.

[mbozike]

OK freaking seriously, this voice ought to be a cultural landmark. Every vocalist ought to learn how to properly emote their lyrics from such a great singer. This is sublime at worst and unbelievable at best.

[CheckMate657879]

This version is my favorite. Dinah's genius-clear for all to see-intense - bitter - heartwrenching. Lyrically-when I listen to this song I'm grateful - grateful I don't know what love is.

[mikemcgann07]

Earl Edwards was on sax in her trio,Jimmy Thomas on drums and jimmy Sigler on piano/organ. Truly on of the most distinct cleat voices of our time

[grenworthshero]

I've always been a fan of Sinatra and Nat King Cole, and a lot of other big names, but I just now started really listening to Dinah, and wow....why didn't I do this a long time ago. I'm slapping myself right now.

[dmzpointman]

I saw her at the Michigan State fair in the early 1960s....with her husband Detroit Lion football player Nighttrain Lane....what a jewel...I was knocked out of my socks......she could really deliver the goods and she brought the house down

[theoriginalbadbob]

@dmzpointman Wow, I had Night Train Lane in my taxi cab, in Los Angeles, back in the sixties. What a small world:)

[dmzpointman]

@theoriginalbadbob .....sure is Bob......

[krapacos]

nezna on sta je ljubav neznam ja sta je on..

[abuzwiebel]

damn the picture is perfect for this song.

[TheImono]

that's very true! I just started listening to her because amy winehouse admires her. amy's voice is very close to dinah's. they both have this strong and fragile in their voices at the same time....it's wonderful.

[macvoutie]

The inflections and little twist in her voice make each line so interesting.

[Lenswims]

Dinah was just the best of the best that's all. No one else was quite like her...Great singer...

[powerpack1000]

UNDERSTAND

[vjackso53]

This is the best rendition of this song and that's because Dinah is singing it ...she was just the best.. thanks for the posting

[early60srcool]

@vjackso53 Gloria Lynne's softer, smokier, mellow voice does it for me. But Drinkin' Again This Bitter Earth, Where are You, belong to Dinah. There are songs to me only Billie can sing; In My Solitude, Body and Soull When your Lover has gone. Dakota's versions of My Funny Valentine,Ain't No Use, You Showed Me The Way etc. We are talking about some of the Greatest Singers Ever! Who can sing "One For My Baby and One More For The Road?Only Sinatra! Judy's "The Man That Got Away" Only her!

[psychicpsycho20]

So true and so fantastically beautiful!Takes me back,so reminiscent of my life experiences.Thank you.

[uncledarnell]

I love Dinah.  Thanks
