Dinah Washington, have you listened to her?


From Ella, Sarah, Diana, Billy and many others...including Rosie...  However, if you have not listened to Dinah Washington you might enjoy giving her a listen.  A bit more "rough around the edges" than some others, but not really like anyone else.   Enjoy..

Nina Simone is waaaay more edgy than Dinah.  I find that Carmen McRae doesn't get mentioned in enough conversations.  
"Rough around the edges." What edges? Dinah is about has about as smooth a vocal delivery as there is. She is one of the original song stylists. Maybe you should stick to Rosie, whoever she is.
whatjd.....Great contribution to some that are new to this hobby. I always find it interesting that people starting off sometimes listen to their equipment and not the music. The nice thing about this thread. The post responses are calling out some of the great artists of all time.
@Michealweiss, She’s one of my all time favorites and I agree with everything you posted. But since you asked; and perhaps I’m mistaken, but on occasion I think she be be a touch sharp.
Still love her!
