    Oh for sure... Queen Dinah was THE singer of the day. All the greats we celebrate today wanted to be & sing like the queen of the blues.

    Yea, one of the songs she sang during her audition for Columbia. I'm really discovering a new found appreciation for the columbia years myself.

    She was only 20 and already a good jazz singer, the way she dances her voice around the beat.

    From the middle 8 to the end some of those notes & runs nearly make me weep they're so damn sweet. And the power. Never forget the power in that voice. My Queen.
