have you ever wonder if a singer really knows what they convey I believe Dinah did with great conviction she'd set you up with one phrase and kill you with another and leave you dying for more I've yet to hear a more eloquent or cold blooded execution

@thatCanadiangrrrl I also have vivid memories of my grandfather and a great uncle playing some of the most amazing recordings as this. I dont think there was any emotion involved though. They were just old black men who in the prime of their life, danced corted women and partied like rock stars to these tunes. By 1952 this recording was a do over from the Bessie Smith they kicked it too. The memories were wonderful

Great!
......before 'He' was taken from me....my most amazing father and I would go on roadtrips through childhood as well as adulthood driving down the coast in to the USA and he would play me 'cassette' tapes (dating myself), then on to dvd's with the greats like this lady. He said he 'wished' that I would never know about being emotionally 'blue', but wanted me to KNOW the BLUES all in all. Sad that I in fact soooo know the 'blues' since the loss of one of the last great men.
