This video is spot on - love the way you weaved the lyrics into the montage - put together fantastically.

[CheckMate657879]

OMG! I was in junior high when this song was out - I always loved it - still do - haven't heard it in years - so nice to finally hear it again. Thanks for posting.

Thank you for sharing "Where are You"

No music like the music from back in the day! xxxx

[hwaj5300]

Amen on "what a difference a day makes but i like this better

[Neptunesque]

Irreplaceable, inimitable, just the greatest ever and ever to be!

Among several others, I owe my musical aspirations from a very early age to Miss Washington.

The high-quality audio and your illustration of this program's lyrics through your brilliant montage makes this a great posting.

Thank you and be well.

[hwaj5300]

@Neptunesque

Hey thank you very much. I appreciate that.

Harry

[sadoldemilio]

Loved this song since I heard it over 50 years ago.  Loved Dinah ever since. Sheer quality.

[hwaj5300]

@sadoldemilio

Thank you.

[Greggymark]

She had so much personality in her voice!

[leesterg]

Hwaj5300: Besides this recording being a unique gem of DW, you did a great job with the video presentation/picture compilation. Thanks for sharing!

[champlain9]

Class Act. My all time favorite. Thanks Mom for introducing me to

Ms. Washingtons voice when I was 9 years old.

[Bradstonian24]

The last time I heard this was when I was about 16. - A long time ago - but it is still as wonderful now as it was then. The haunting refrain is sung perfectly by a very fine artist.

[Tombom60]

I agree:

"When you listen to Dinah, you don't need any other singer"...

Tom Bom

from Sao Paulo/SP, Brasil

[priscillaofmanila]

There's Dinah and then there's a long line of other sings. When you listen to Dinah, you don't need any other singer. Truthfully. Simply THE best.

[hwaj5300]

that's it.

Hwaj5300

[Hunterunc]

Thank you hwaj5300 I loved this! I heard in some documentary that Dinah thought she was fat and unattractive. How is that possible? She was as cute as a bug and had a nice figure...For sure, she left us a marvelous recorded legacy.

[hwaj5300]

Your most welcome

Hwaj5300

[sallesluciana]

What a beautiful homage!

Hwaj5300

[genell55]

thank you!

[hwaj5300]

You are most welcome

[robertclemon]

Where's my heart?

[miketlow]

I really can see now why Aretha recorded a version of this song...Dinah turned it out and that male chorus was perfect behind her!!..Is this a Clyde Otis produced tracks??

[hwaj5300]

not sure of who produced each track on this compilation of her Roulette recordings but the whole thing was produced by "Norman Bates"

[postofc]

It really doesn't get any better than this. Heavenly..Thank you hwaj5300 , thaks so much

[hwaj5300]

You are very welcome

and of course I agree

[robertclemon]

[hwaj5300]

Heaven on earth

[hwaj5300]

[Karlideem]

I have never heard this number by my Queen! I called my mother as soon as I heard it and she fell to the floor! She begged me to please get this recording to her because it's her favorite! Thanx and Peace

[hwaj5300]

My opion

Her best

[MrStadden]

Ahhhhh, it doesn't get much better than this!

[hwaj5300]

[Corrie121]

I just melt every time I listen to this tremendous song - especially this version.

Dinah Washington is irreplaceable.

Many thanks for sharing.

[hwaj5300]

me too and you are welcome for sure

Thanks for watching and listening.

[dr37sam]

Only sensational! A little known song she does is "Nothing in the World "[ could make me love you more than I do] It would make a great post if you have it. Thanks so much for this one.

[hwaj5300]

Sorry Dr37sam

Have a few others but not that one

[swinginkatz]

Brings tears to my eyes, So beautiful

[hwaj5300]

Thanks

[maxjwinters007]

When I gave you my love, was it all in vain?

Must I go on pretending,

Where is my happy ending?

[hwaj5300]

heavy is it not

[radia333]

You're very welcome

[78timothy]

I love the use of the Hammond B3 Electric Organ in the Orchestra. Really rounds out the Back up Orchestra, for her. Is this a Mercury recording?

[hwaj5300]

sorry 78

this is a roulette recording

[78timothy]

Interesting! When did she leave Mercury for Roulette?

[hwaj5300]

I cannot give exact year However not too long out of school about 1962, or early63 i landed a job with Cosnat Record dist. here in philadelphia. Major lables they dist. at the time were  there own Jubilee

atlantic ,roulette and a jazz line called Verve. this came out thyat year.

[psychicpsycho20]

I love her singing and I think of the one whom I lost in 2005.He will always live in my heart until I see him again.Thank you for this.

[78timothy]

One of my most favorite songs. Written in 1934,featured by Broadway Singer, Gertude Niessen. The favorite song of Ira Hayes (USMC- WWII - Hero, One of the Marines raising the American Flag at Iwo Jima color film. He became the sole surviving Marine, as the other comrades went into battle and were killed in action by the Japanese within minutes of the filming of the raising of our flag at Iwo Jima. I sing the Sinatra version (Gordon Jenkins arrangement at karaoke.

[billchew450]

Harry thank you... another gteat song. One

major question- just what led to her untimely

passing ( two weeks after JFK )?

[boxerlph]

I believe it was from an over dose, accidental if I remember correctly.

[garythevillager]

Real COOL and MELLOW

[1099797]

been after this track 4 years love it

[midlander07]

I have spent months looking for this one!

My very favourite D W track.

Thanks so much for posting.

[boxerlph]

A great composition sung by one of the greatest female vocalists of all time.

[Lynnxx1]

Englishman, Please come back! Where are you? I miss you so. And all is forgiven. American Girl

[Lynnxx1]

My Englishman, Where have you gone without me? I will always miss you. xx Your American Girl

[sugarbell99]

[Tom1948]

The very first of her recording of her's I'd ever heard in 1963. I was just a a kid and when I hear it I still it am.

[Tom1948]

Looks like parts of my comments have been lost.

[Lynnxx1]

Thank you Hwaj5300 --- Awesome video, awesome, awesome Dinah Washington! This is for you, my Englishman Craig, from your American Girl

[s12932410]
