5.0 out of 5 stars Dinah Washington Was Unique, December 12, 1999

This review is from: What a Diff'rence a Day Makes! (Audio CD)
I was only vaguely aware of Dinah Washington when I first heard her rendition of "What a Diff'rence a Day Made" about 15 or 20 years ago. With that song she reached out and took ahold of my body and soul. Listening to Washington is a truly transporting, rapturous experience, something (although I love and respect Sarah Vaughn and Ella Fitzgerald) I have only ever felt for one other performer - Lady Day herself. This album is as good a Dinah Washington primer as you are likely to find. Buy and enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic, but not because of the music!, January 21, 2000

(VINE VOICE)   
This review is from: What a Diff'rence a Day Makes! (Audio CD)
Although I am great admirer of work of Dinah Washington, at first I wasnt sure what to think about this album.After years in bussines and simply faboulous blues records she made a name with (check out her tribute to Bessie smith!), she turned to pop audience with this album and obviously made lots of money.It sounds very much like "The Platters" of their best-selling records, which could be soft and easy at their best or annoyingly and calculatedly sweet at their worst.Lost in the sea of strings, backed by anonymous female choir, this great voice swims through 12 beautiful ballads just a bit too easy for comfort.If anybody else sings this, I would dismiss it as pop trash of the period but because great Dinah has put so much affections and feelings into material (and because she died soon afterwards, so all her records are precious) I love it.Title song has still power to make me cry after all these years and the sole beauty of Dinah's voice could be the reason for purchasing this album.The influence of Billie Holiday, Dinah's favourite singer, is very obvious in almost every song.
