It’s a great month to cover a classic love song and honor the great Dinah Washington! Washington was a unique jazz vocalist of the 1950’s. She was born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama but grew up in Southside Chicago. Washington learned to play piano at an early age and was a powerful gospel singer before her transition to jazz, blues, pop, and R&B. Her distinct style has influenced several R&B and jazz singers and made an impressionable mark on the genre. One source states that Washington produced 45 R&B-charted hits between 1948 and 1961, including 16 Top 15 placements between 1948 and 1950 What a Difference a Day Makes was her first top 10 pop hit in 1959 coming in at number 4 on the US charts. #valentinesday #valentine #lovesong #oldiesbutgoodies #oldies #cover #singer #rnb
