Dinah Washington / All Of Me

[DuncanMitchel]

For me this is the best version of "All of me". Dinah just touches my soul with her emotive vocals..My body shivers when she sang this amazing song..DAMN!

[malemanjim]

This is from the film "Jazz on A Summers day" lots of great performances filmed at the 1958 Newport jazz festival Anita Oday , Satchmo ,Monk, a very young chuck Berry , and many more search the titlle here and enjoy!

[ypsedixit1]

She has always amazed me. Dinah died in the 60's and still is a powerful influence on so many singers!

[ChristophePhilippe]

This song...well, it's the ultimate blues song about love, isn't it? And there's only one way to deliver it: you don't sing, you have to wail it.

[bettyblue52]

thank you so much for posting this. cole porter woulda never known what hit him. dinah makes every song her own.

[DOCOFTHEBEY]

Yes...in the 1950's racism was still at it's high point , but you wouldn't think it looking at the white's playing ,listening and enjoying the Music of the African Americans...it shows you , good music can tame the wildest beast. Long Live the original American music (So-called Jazz ) ,not imported but created in the USA.

This is for the Newport Jazz Festival, Newport, R.I., July 6 1958

Mercury EMS-2-401 "The Jazz Sides" (the EmArcy Jazz Series)

from the liner notes by Dan Morgenstern:

"...Dinah kicks off a relaxed tempo and offers a swinging opening chorus...followed by Elliot...Gibbs...Green... Dinah works out her closing half-chorus and she makes her invitation to "come on,daddy, and get all of me" irresistible"

[aehtenap]

This is on a North Sea Jazz Festival!

[fatcloud1]

Her voice and singing is just superb.

[JAZZ8507]

Dinah .....wonderful!!!!!!!!

[strayhorns1]

I was fortunate to see the great one during an afternoon show at the apollo with the dells on the bill also. She had the fellows in tuxes and she had two big white dogs as her entrance. And she sounded great. 1958 or so.

[DDDD1980]

@strayhorns1 Must have been a great time indeed, one can only imagine!

[vitakinesis]

when the drog addicts here this and Miles to get high and not reggae.. good times

[pablito162]

She is one of my favorite Jazz Singers of all time. She was a tremendous talent. Dig Urbie Green's trombone solo!!!

[kanokov]

I really love this

[ockroot]

too heavy artistic

[steveknows62]

Very, very cool. She was the quintessence of soulfulness.

[mrspatrickcampbell]

[tatharmith]

Awesome performance! Best version!

[nataliamamemimomu]

impresionante Dinah y la banda a pesar de la calidad de la grabación de entonces, imaginaos como sería escucharla en directo

[alnloulou]

[motown250]

NICE ONE MAGS

[spiritladysoul]

thankyou bluesgirl.this is awesome.

[johndega]

Dinah still sounds great because her style was timeless. It seems that every great female singer had that same mixture of "little

girl" and "wordly woman". Dinah was no exception. She'll never be out of style.

[PolishRoots]

Awesome,just AWESOME!

[maxazook]

That's Urbie Green on trombone, and Terry Gibbs with Dinah on vibes.

[shoegazer666]

The Great Lady of The Blues, R&B, Soul, AND Pop Songs of the time!

[paulostroff99]

Queen of the blues! Bravo! TY

[kagillogly]

Well, it sure isn't Melba Liston! I'm really trying to find a video, SOMEWHERE, that actually shows her playing

[lechoraleur]

Yes, Melba Liston is a woman !

[Gerry319]
