Thank you, swinginkatz and vova47... for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to respond to my question. I remember an Irene Reid album I bought in the 70's...and played constantly for quite a while. 30+ years and several moves have separated me from it...but it was called "The World Needs What I Need " and I would recommend it highly to anyone who is interested in her. .
She's just great and what a band!! The stuff with the plunger that Butter Jackson is playing behind Irene on the blues is just priceless. Thanks for sharing!
@swinginkatz...I'm just wondering when this was recorded. I've heard so many people compare Irene Reid to Dinah Washington over the years...I'm wondering who did Backwater Blues first. Irene really nails it here!!!
@JazzyBluesWoman They are very much alike, I agree. There are several of Dinah on my channel also. I do not know the exact date. I try to place infomation on each video if I have it. Thanks for watching and comment.
Dear JazzyBluesWoman, Irene Reid was singing with Count Basie's Band from 1961 to 1962, so off hand is recorded in that period. If I find out more details about this concert, I'll let you know.
Thanks fpr watching.

@JazzyBluesWoman My guess would be the fifties. Born Sept. 23, 1930, Died Jan. 4, 2008.

@JazzyBluesWoman I'm wonder if she more likely remember Aretha than Washington... she shouts a lot.

@JazzyBluesWoman Bessie Smith did "Backwater Blues" first. Dinah recorded it for her "Dinah sing Bessie Smith" album in 1957.
