From her first recording session onwards, Dinah Washington inspired the next generation of blues and R\u0026amp;B women from Esther Phillips through to her biggest fan Aretha Franklin. It's almost impossible to guess the direction that female R\u0026amp;B might have taken without Dinah at the roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Jasmine collection supplements and complements our previous volume of her early work, picking up Dinah's audio story in 1956 and carrying it through to some of her final sessions in 1962. From pop to R\u0026amp;B to jazz, it shows just how true her oft-quoted statement 'I can sing anything' really was.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll of Dinah's bigger later hits are here, including her two Pop and R\u0026amp;B Top 10 hit duets with Brook Benton alongside songs that will forever be 'hers' such as 'This Bitter Earth', 'September In The Rain' and 'What A Difference A Day Made'. The focus here is generally on Dinah's R\u0026amp;B-style material, and may thus hold great appeal for fans of 'early soul' who don't realise just how big an influence she was on those who followed in her wake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA better cross section of repertoire from this period of her long career you would be hard pressed to find anywhere. It shows why, more than 60 years after her passing, people are still 'Mad About The Girl'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeptember In The Rain\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLove Walked In\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBaby (You've Got What It Takes) - Dinah Washington And Brook Benton\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMad About The Boy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRelax Max\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCry Me A River\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMake Me A Present Of You\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHonky Tonky - 'The Queen'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat A Difference A Day Made\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBad Luck\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNothing In The World (Could Make Me Love You More Than I Do)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Bitter Earth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRing-A My Phone\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLooking Back\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEarly Every Morning\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDon't Let The Sun Catch You Crying\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Rockin' Good Way (To Mess Around And Fall In Love) - Dinah Washington And Brook Benton\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOut Of Sight, Out Of Mind\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWake The Town And Tell The People\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuch A Night\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHurt\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe Have Love\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverybody Loves Somebody\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAm I Blue - Dinah Washington And The Dells\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAgain\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI Wouldn't Know (What To Do)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrinking Again\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's A Mean Old Man's World\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54419496173953,"sku":"2471930","price":12.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/0604988281927.jpg?v=1750562197","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2471930","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
