Maybe it is just me, but I love Washington´s voice better than Ella´s or Billie´s...love her version of "There is no greater love", which I haven´t found here on Youtube...she sings it like she means it, damn!
I won't sing this one, but Grandma did an excellent job singing this one : )
as 4 my set list for the upcoming Tribute Album, follow & friend me at
Facebook (AngelMichelle & You) & (Queendinah Washington. Interested in touring with us, ur set list is right HERE @ur fingertips!Start Rehearsing NOW!!! So u can be ready 2 tour &/or Play when u get the phone call There R opportunites 4 musicians all over the WORLD! Where Dinah Performed, We will b performing.Catch & RUN with the vision folks!
Dinah Washington like all singers from her era developed their own distinct styles they did not need to copy other singer styles, who else does Dinah sound like, I can't think of anybody, Shirley bassey who did she model her style on, Alma Cogan, Helen Shapiro, Brenda Lee and Edith Piaf but to name a few no other singers spring to mind that any of these singers have modeled or styled themselves on, Adel at certain times in her songs is similar in sound to Amy but I'm sure it's not intended
LOL at the ppl who say stuff like screw Amy, she just copied Dinah, well guess what? No one is EVER 100% original, every singer always has that one vocalist they reference as a foundation for their vocal style, once they get them down then they change that style a little by borrowing more vocal styles from different artists. So technically Dinah isn't being 100% original either cuz she borrowed part of her vocal style from an artist(s) before her.
Dinah doesn't pronounce the word as clearly as Bessie did, but it's "I cut him with my "Barlow." A Barlow was a folding knife, which usually had just one blade. Dinah leaves out the word "wallowing" when describing how her man died on the floor. They probably couldn't get that past the censors. Also, it's " 'lectric " chair, even on the original record label. Bessie messes up when singing "ninety-nine years in jail." She sings, "ninety-ninety." I absolutely love both versions of the song.
Dinah always brings a tear to my eye. She could "sell" a song like no other. The first time I heard "What a Diff'rence a Day Made", I was hooked and have remained so for forty years.
My dad and all his friends loved this stuff. I played jimi hendrix and led zepphlin and black sabbath and funkadelics but he had and his friends loved ths stuff. i sure appreciate youtube. peace
Hey, I’m a young artist, & I would really appreciate it if everyone would check out my cover of Michael Bublé’s “You’re Nobody till Somebody Loves You.” Although I’m knowledgeable that Michael Bublé was not the first to record the song, my version was inspired by his rendition, nonetheless. I promise you that you will not regret giving my version of the song a listen, & it will truly knock you off of your feet! So please listen & enjoy! Thanks!
making films about artists...black artists especially...is often a crime ! the flicks abt the nasty Chess bros and Muddy was a disaster...however, the Ray Charles one was great...mainly due to the actor's performance. I don't wanna see a holywod movie about Dinah !
@weightfeather1 Jennifer Holiday has a great voice but I haven't heard her sing jazz or blues, perhap you have. I know of two other ladies that can also protray Ms. Washington, don't get me wrong, I adore Ms. Holiday, I also feel Chante Moore and Regina Belle can also do Ms. Washington justice if they play her in a movie. Check out Chante Moore singing Nancy Wilson's "Guess Who I Saw Today" she did that song justice.
When the hell will there ever be a Dinah Washington movie??I don't think it's too late to make a "Lady Sings the Blues" biopic(only much more honestly done)Her story--like Sam Cooke's--is so full of great,big-screen potential.Spike Lee,are you listening?
@postatility I agree with you. A movie would be GREAT, this would be good for Mr. Lee to do. If he won't do it someone will. The reason I want a movie done about her is because I would like to learn more about her. She has a rich past and she has influenced so many singers Ms. Washington should have a movie.
What i like with this song is that she shows that even if no one will recognize the depth of her pain, and consider her man playing with her heart like if it was nothing more than a little crime, it doesn't change the fact that him and that whole macho society encouraging the man to publicly humiliate his woman by acting like a player have destroyed her world by deliberately hurting her feelings and her image. So when mean actions push someone to the corner that way, you create a kamikaze.
You can judge her, punish her, torture her and threat her as much as you want, as long as no one will recognize her pain, they have created a threat to him and the whole society. In the end: What goes around, comes back around
My mother met Dinah when she did a show in San Diego before I was born; needless to say, for mom, it was indeed a life changing experience. I go to mom's resting place now and either take my portable record player or cd player and put some Dinah music on, I can feel mom and Dinah both looking down at me.
Inspired by this ( thank you, jimnick1! ) I wrote to BBC 3 Jazz Record Requests and this was played on 20th March and can be heard -with a wealth of other gems- for the following week on the BBC ipod player on line.
I love her and this special kind of a LOVESONG, coz its a Lovesong, for sure!
The way she sings it is UNIQUE, this kind of telling, the latent way of irony, i adore DINAH just for this song, lol, of course she sang so many gorgeous songs, with Billie Holiday the best Jazzsinger of this time, surely ELLA too, shes an universe!!
Got to love Dinah. She had a really jacked up personal life, but her music is either happy or defiant or jubilant or evocative and poignant...but never just plain old sad.
you need to learn about things , you might become wise or wiser if you ask questions after looking around . pay some attention not just tooo the music or lyrics but to the styles of the period .jj7
Okay, someone please explain to me what a 'barlow' is. My dad who is English doesn't even know what it is - but I imagine that it's some kind of weapon or tool? (:
Dinah is devine in this video... I adore afroamerican singers and Dinah is definetely one of the best! Is there a "The best of..." anywhere around? Thank you, Dinah... Kiss from Slovenia
Those are lyrics of the 20s. Wondering if the song was inspired by one of THE sensational crime stories of the 20s. Ruth Snyder who went to the chair for killing her husband. was a Double Indemnity like story worth the many papers it sold! Many may remember Ruth Snyder not for her grisly story but for her grisly image from a shakey black and white photograph taken on the night of her execution from a photographer's camera rigged shoe.
My science teacher in high school knew her and would have a Dinah Washington story at least twice a week for a classroom that really had no idea what he was talking about. I was mesmerized because I was already of fan. But after his story all I could think about was New York in the 50s and practically failed science.
Highly recommend this recording. Only Dinah Washington can channel Bessie Smith.
Dinah was the greatest jazz singer on the planet. No one can touch her and many emulated her. Sarah, Ella, Billie, and so many other shoes cannot be filled. Thank God for these warm, powerful women showing us how it's done. Treasure them forever.
Dinah does a great job, although different, of Bessie's dark but soulful classic. I would encourage anyone who likes this to listen to Bessie Smith's original (not on Youtube yet, why not???)of the same title "Send me to the (E)'lectic Chair" Grand job, Dinah!
I was very fortunate but this music was in our community and in a small town we thought gospel,jazz,blues were all different. In larger citiesmost performers came fromchurch, Ihave a sis whom sings goprpel, a cousin jazz and twin aunts blues and everything respectively. I grew up playing funk and soul and performed most with my cousin whomsang jazz later. She sang with my uncle and sat in with Ella when she rolled thru. My mom knows nancy Wilson so I had to work at it practicing whenever!-FCntr
Dinah is my mom's favorite singer, she along with Sarah Vaughan got Quincy Jones into making records. Joe Zawinul played on 'What a difference a day makes' and my uncle whom just passed away at 85 yrs old blew tenor sax with her. She could sing anything!
I love Dinah Washington. I also like Billie Holliday and Etta James quite a bit but as someone else put it, Dinah had a sassyness about her that nobody else had.
Maybe it is just me, but I love Washington´s voice better than Ella´s or Billie´s...love her version of "There is no greater love", which I haven´t found here on Youtube...she sings it like she means it, damn!

Dinah does a great job, although different, of Bessie's dark but soulful classic. I would encourage anyone who likes this to listen to Bessie Smith's original (not on Youtube yet, why not???)of the same title "Send me to the (E)'lectic Chair" Grand job, Dinah!

PREPARE THE ELECTRIC CHAIR FOR GEORGE Key this into the YT search field to view a recital of an EPIC POEM about George and his time in office.
Example of verse:
And what of his 'alliance' with his country's nemesis?
Where each exploits the other for his purposes and thus
Osama is the bogey George holds up to scare us all
And George the 'double agent' is Osama's wrecking ball
To each, the other is the goose that laid the golden egg
Osama never will be caught, we rightly could allege

I was very fortunate but this music was in our community and in a small town we thought gospel,jazz,blues were all different. In larger citiesmost performers came fromchurch, Ihave a sis whom sings goprpel, a cousin jazz and twin aunts blues and everything respectively. I grew up playing funk and soul and performed most with my cousin whomsang jazz later. She sang with my uncle and sat in with Ella when she rolled thru. My mom knows nancy Wilson so I had to work at it practicing whenever!-FCntr

Dinah is my mom's favorite singer, she along with Sarah Vaughan got Quincy Jones into making records. Joe Zawinul played on 'What a difference a day makes' and my uncle whom just passed away at 85 yrs old blew tenor sax with her. She could sing anything!

Aren't you lucky to come from such a talented family. I hope you listen to this music too! It's the best....

I love Dinah Washington. I also like Billie Holliday and Etta James quite a bit but as someone else put it, Dinah had a sassyness about her that nobody else had.
