THE QUEEN Dinah Washington sings. Dinah Washington was born August 29, 1924. She was an African-American blues singer noted for excellent voice control and her unique gospel-influenced delivery. From Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Ruth Lee Jones (original name), moved with her family to Chicago as a child. She sang in and played the piano for her church choir and in 1939 began to sing and play piano in various Chicago nightclubs, in addition to touring with Sallie Martin's gospel group. About 1942-43 she adopted the stage name Dinah Washington. From 1943 to 1946 she sang with the Lionel Hampton band and in 1946 began a successful solo career. During the period from 1949 to 1955, her recordings were consistently among the top ten hits of the rhythm-and-blues charts. Even after she crossed over to the popular (pop) music market, in which she had her greatest commercial success, Washington retained many of her earlier fans because of her passionate, supple style. Often referred too as Queen of The Blues, she died Dec. 14, 1963 in Detroit, Michigan.

Gorgeous song and she sings it PERFECTLY. I really need to get the album that this is on. I have several Dinah cds and vinyl albums, but this song seems to be a little more obscure.
