Dinah Washington - What a Difference A Day Made

[Diva2104]

Now this song?????? WOW, brought memories that I cherish, my mom and dad, dancing in the livingroom.....me sitting there looking at love, learning what good music was, the melody soothing and making me smile. I have no doubt that as soon I as pushed play, somewhere in heaven, my parents once again looked at each other lovingly, and danced once more

[djhvallejo]

Love this song, have it on my Ipod, sad that people don't remember the classics.

[Raysboat]

Nothing short of totally AWESOME. Put many a quarter in the J Box in the 50's to listen to this one. One of the greatest of all times. Imagine being on the dance floor with your lady and listening to this classic.

[dbj1941]

@Raysboat I can relate to being on the dance floor with your love and hating when this song was over unless of course something like My Prayer by The Platters came up next. Then you were right back in heaven.

[lillambchoppa]

I love this song!

[Justme55Ms]

Pungooer, I got a laugh out of your comment and I agree with you. We have lost many wonderful singers and so young.. She would have been 88 years old this year!

[TheMissShevy]

Thank-You for Sharing this with me Jerry! Wow… <3 xo

[gabrielaatal]

I LOVE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER !

[markusdecamargo]

I LOVE THIS SONG !!!!

[ldcreateart11]

@pungooer...and the entire Kardashian Clan...please God...take them all.

[pungooer]

@ldcreateart11 Sorry will put them in the next time. LOL

[rangerrick67]

This song came out just after my dad died. My mother would tear-up listening to it, but she said it made her feel better.

[cislaTV]

Nujabes sampled this beautiful Flowers

[JuneChild63]

Thins song is a wonderful song to listen to, for someone who is down or thinks they can't handle life. What a difference a day can make.

[JuneChild63]

Nobody sings this song like you Dinah. Beautiful very touching song.

[dancingron]

Her voice is like an angel. Sad she was taken so soon. Her voice is one of a kind. I love, love, love her. So happy that "you tube" can let people experience her music.  I was fortunate enough to live through her era.

[vidaloca07]

nobody can do it like dina washington. she was the best of her time, just great.

[Razbunyik]

I grew up with Rock 'n' Roll, but I'm so glad that my parents had a great record collection with singers from the 40s and 50s. I learned to love all the great vocalists of that period. Dinah was always one of my favorites and I just love this song.

[vidaloca07]

SHE IS THE BEST

[0917gva]

Silky soul; I love this. Her rendition of the classic "What A Difference A Day Makes" reaches the zenith. A sweet, classy, sexy song for lovers to dance to. Just - WOW! Thanks for this great post.

[7thgeorgiegirl]

I love you Bear !

[Pisilloechiguire]

Wow! Did you hear it! Thank god!  Outstanding!

[marti29ish]

ahhhhh very nice

[karaoglanish]

[tofelt]

OMG. what a VOICE! 

[mmadge2]

One of my all time favorites and I am old enough. I saw her live andI love her more nowthan ever

[pungooer]

Dear God

Please bring Dinah Washington back and pick up Justin Bieber.

[jimaroo100]

@pungooer Dear Pungooer - Do I look crazy? Best Regards.. God

[pungooer]

@jimaroo100 LMFAO 

[BuckshotLaFunke1]

@pungooer LOL! 

[judyaosta]

@pungooer

Not a very charitable comment - I think you should just ignore Justin and enjoy the countless wonders that YouTube and 'jabbola' can offer.

Dinah Washington is fabulous and will never be forgotten...

[pungooer]

@judyaosta I do, hence the reason for my comment. To each his own !!

[seansocheap]

@pungooer yeah that's kinda messed up, i bet you dinah wouldn't want this nor would God

[RichYan33]

@pungooer And Lady Gaga. And Kid Rock. And Puff Diddy Daddy Farty Licky. And anyone who every was a contestant on "American Idol". And J-Lo. And the "Friday, Friday..." girl...

[pungooer]

@RichYan33 Will get onto it for you as soon as I can. LOL

[themadaboutmusic]

@pungooer Don't you think God does have taste in music too (consider from whom he'd been taken) !!!!!!!!

[pungooer]

@themadaboutmusic Yes you are right about that one. He has taken some of the absolute best.

[Wolfen443]

@pungooer, sorry not even they can turn back time now. It is up to us to get through these bad music times.

[7106798]

first class

thanx4thepost

[vidaloca07]

no body can sing this song like dina washington. thank you ms. washington and god bless you wear ever you are

[57highland]

@vidaloca07 Nobody else should bother trying to sing this song. It cannot be better than this. Why tamper with perfection, right?

[seansocheap]

@57highland I dunno, I thought Jamie Cullum did some justice, just my opinion don't mind me

[57highland]

@seansocheap I never heard Jamie's version; maybe I should. Sometimes I make the call too early. Just that I heard this version when I was still a teenager (1970s) and liked it ever since then.

[LES6723]

@57highland right

[oscarshwartz]

Wonderful!!! I've always loved her, and her beautiful music! She did some duets with Brook Benton that are classics!---Lee

[UMU15]

What can be said is just Great!!

[giulswine]

amy+dinah <3

[nustelloni]

I heard this song in a French movie, The Fairy.

stuck into my head since then.

[rogers76569]

I loved her as a great vocalist when I was in my teens and early twenties. Now, almost 50 years later, she is still one of my all time favorite singers. Such a beautiful woman and great voice to be gone way, way, way to soon.

[dorothysue1]

Thank you for posting this wonderful song by Dinah.

[tazzz001]

best version, thx from germany. used hide ip to listen to this.

[coleturner16]

como siempre yo de actualizado... hermosa cancion!!!

[ime916]

@coleturner16 seremos dos......Saludos desde L.A CA!!!!!

[LOCKED121]

No use in anyone else covering this song. It's already been done perfectly.

[damodrummer1]

This must be remastered? The quality is amazing, same with "Mad About The Boy". If it's not remastered the producer needs some serious recognition.

[tychaton08]

Merci!

[LittleDirtyfromDC]

Read Donna Summer's biography "Ordinary Girl: The Journey" where she writes she this song was her father's favorite and she learned to mimic Dinah's voice to sing the song to him.

Thanks for posting it here for me to reference.

[rufinoman]

The voice of an angel!

[StandardBen]

Just makes the whole world drift away...

[7252christian]

This song reminds me of days that know longer exist. When my people were more united, when we were more spirtual, family oriented. We all lived together, that means eduacational and financial levals of people. We all had our hopes, dreams and wishes which some succeeded, while many lost out. I think as a race we became more like the man, in other words, " worldly ". As a race we gained the world and lost our souls...Those of you my generation and older knows what i am talking about.

[7252christian]

@7252christian I wrote that last statement, and I am a afro-american.

[lookingback62]

@7252christian Very profound Sir. I as an old white man dare not express such thoughts. Here is what is and has been in my mind for 53 years plus: This song, Sarah Vaughan's Broken Hearted Melody, Sam Cook's You Send Me, A Change is Gonna Come, almost anything Nat King Cole, Same with Brook Benton, Billy Eckstine, dozens of Doo Wop Groups, Motown, Clyde McPhatter, Dee Clark, Major Lance, the Carolina Beach Music crowd, and on and on. I fear 2 decades of rap have harmed our young.

[terrybeaton]

It sounds so effortless. For her, it probably was. Gone too soon.

[stanleybadams]

Great voice, characterisation and song. Oh, what a difference a day makes..It is also true.

[llaoll]

the favorite among my favorites

[MrPianosmurf]

i like jamie cullum's version also!

[19GirlBad]

Thumbs up if the film Casino brought you here? It happened to me.

[1968musicsoul]

soul fulllll

soul lady

[weegerald]

She is the best of all, who sing this songs....no one BETTER...

[Ezdduf4kuZ]

There is somerhing about this song that gets my nod but otherwise it is definetly one of those songs from back when I have lived without. I'm tuning it in & taking another listen & in turn giving my point of view despite the fact I may not be going along with the flow. I know nothing else by Dinah, it was the hit by her that charted & perhaps her biggest hit by far here in Vancouver Cda where they didn't play all that Rockabilly that I'm now able to tune in & enjoy. Thx4 postin'

[robink1960]

I really love songs like this one. I sometimes wonder what the world might be like today if all songs were full of lovely words such as here.

Maybe we would not suffer so much unhappiness and violence.

Some time soon someone is going to come along who can pen similar masterpieces and he or she could maybe just change the world for the better.

[xxxxlorixxxx]

One person doesn't like this! They should be ashamed!

[Ezdduf4kuZ]

@xxxxlorixxxx Hey, I'm not at all ashamed, I few good making my point of view & it just wouldn't seem right to get around the truth, so in the eyes of the beholder I'll tell the truth, she isn't my style. If I want to listen to a love song or two by a female I'll listen to Connie Stevens & 16 Reasons or Kath Young & AThoasand Stars, Dinah dosen't cut it with me on this song, I don't know what to say otherwise. Hey, remember that honesty is thwe best policy!

[dropper3]

All you have to say is Dinah Washington!!!!! Caleb N. Ginyard 111.

[kcuhca1953]

WOW! silky smooth.

[jacquiemitchell49]

Such a beautiful and romantic song, thanks for posting it; And, it's the perfect song to listen to when we're snuggling with the person we love.... This is for you, Armando, for giving me the gift of you which is what I had dreamt of my whole life... "What a difference a day made twenty-four little hours." "Today I am a part of you, Dear, my lonely nights are through, Dear, since you said you were mine.." In 32 hours I'll be in your arms again where I belong... All my love, Jacquie Torres xoxoxo

[jacquiemitchell49]

What a difference a day made twenty-four little hours brought the sun and the flowers where there used to be rain my yesterday was blue, Dear, today I am a part of you, Dear, my lonely nights are through, Dear, since you said you were mine, Lord, what a difference a day makes there's a rainbow before me skies above can't be stormy since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss it's heaven when you find romance on your menu what a difference a day made and the difference is you...... I love you!

[Tejano44]

Awesome !

[TeamTopDeck1]

Just For Today!

[tangerino222]

amoreeee....

molto bella...

[joanjuneau]

Thank you. Thank you. The sound quality is the greatest. It makes all the difference in this, the best version of this beautiful song.

[Tejano44]

@joanjuneau , True ! 100 % .

[putriadiFam]

So many singer with their version ; for me personally Dinah Version is the best ............

[toremanol]

@putriadiFam i'm in accord with you

[mysteriousmartian]

I have only just rediscovered this song after forgetting it for so long - I love it so much, keep waiting for everyone to leave the house so I can turn up the volume as far as possible!

[JCMundo1958]

I have heard this song by many artist, but God no one can touch it (beautifully) sung. That is what good Music is all about two thumbs up for Dinah, and thank you

[TheHonestMann]

God did you get the stereo effect on this number! Thanks!

[jades209]

I find it weird, that the vocals were on one side of my head set, and the music on the other. O.O

[shalimara]

thank you so much for posting this song. Dinah sings it beautifully.  I enjoyed this so much... I've bookmarked it. Love the oldie classic jazz.

[aurieaurora]

perfect to have this play.. in the car.. at night.. with cool wind and a starry sky... and wine :)

[TheARosemary]

Good job jabbola

[Mr66Chas]

the one vote against this video must have been a Nancy fan...Dinah sings from the heart...Nancy is a songbird...give me Dinah!

[pierrotcaron]

Just love it!!!!



[JCMundo1958]

@pierrotcaron

[MrNewtcummer]

dinah washington face is so common looking. I think every african american has seen a female who looks strikingly like her.

[TheTreacle52]

How absolutely beautiful, thankyou Dinah

[wtf66611]

This sure beats listening to the Lady Gaga rubbish on the radio, lol.

[MrLazzaro72]

what a marvellous voice, now this is music. forget all the new crap, forget britney spears or katy perry, they just socks!!

[PHOBOSEDEMOS]

Sou branco mas tenho que reconhecer quando uma voz negra se atreve a cantar não tem pra ninguém,não há comparação

[niledaj]

oh lovely song. so beautiful....

[tofelt]

what a difference she made!!!!!!!! SIMPLY SO PRETTY.

[eutuveMusic]

The addition of lyrics makes always a big difference for us, non English natives..

Grazie mille ..

eu

[walterdavepowdrell]

It's a shame the young black people will never expererience the truely great singers of Black singers 40s and 50s.

Like Lena Horns, Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washinton and many more.

Yes they were a expererience and when sang, You knew you were having one.

[luvtrns4evr]

What a clear and concise voice she had. This song as many during those years always told a story of love and what we need so desperately in our music today. Always love this song and this arrangement. A great R&B singer.

[jorgebcn59]

Todo un clasico, bravo Eugenio por la elección.

[Lowaalto]

Thanks for this fabulous recording - Dinah Washington is truly wonderful

[KarinGrever]

Thank you for this wonderful Video...I love this Song !!!!

[butfulmuzik]

Impeccable phrasing, a fabulous unique style! Miss Dinah was right up there with the best of her time. We lost her way too soon. Man, I just loved her music!

[Honey1931]

a life too short to give to the world a look at all the beautiful words and lyrics that could be interpreted by a precious voice and a wonderful singer who fell into the world of drugs. ROSELLI

[G2DAMAX]

got up with this song in my head today, thank you very much

[jabbola]

@G2DAMAX Thank you for nice words!

[crushedz]

@G2DAMAX .Same here.Today.

[steinarrexfaroensis]

@G2DAMAX Must be a very nice way to wake up

[MrWerbefuzzi]

@G2DAMAX same same

[aristoteles3300]

Dinah es la mejor, no hay comparación con las otras verisones, ni siquiera Diana Ross le llega a la cintura

[ci70telita]

this song is about the passing moments... what else realy count in this life...

[cbreeze1525]

On July 2, 1963 she married her seventh husband, NFL player Dick "Night Train" Lane. On December 14, 1963, Lane found his wife dead in their home. She had accidentally overdosed on a mix of prescription medication at the age of 39. Dinah Washington is buried in the Burr Oak Cemetery in Alsip, Illinois.

[DanielaSings]

you cant find songs as beautiful as this one these days

[sierria64]

she od on herion

[Nijeta3]

no she was not on heroin

[preluky1988]

Pickwick TEA :))

[bon1042]

I had no idea Dinah died so young !! If it happened and I heard it in 1963 it didn't sink in. 1963 was a tough year. Oh... I just realized, December 14, 1963, 3 weeks after President Kennedy was assassinated.... that explains it.

[toshioyoshimura]

Always love this song since I was much younger

[tango3721]

Her voice has a silky - honey quality - just like Billy Holliday's - those two superstars influenced in a great manner - the American jazz female vocalists' - style!

[antoniasd]

@tango3721 if you love these ladies, check out Ella Fitzgerald! These women are of such a different class of vocalist - wish we had them around today!

[Cornp97]

This was originally a Chet Baker song?does anyone have a link to the chet baker song they'd like to send me Xx

[LEGIONARIO1970]

This song was made originally by the mexican Maria Greever in 1934 with the title in spanish: CUANDO VUELVA A TU LADO which literally means: WHEN I GET BACK NEXT TO YOU, maybe Chet Baker made the words in english.

Greetings from Mexico!

[jabbola]

thanks for a nicely comment!!

[Doggiehello23]

nice vocal.
