This song released the year DH was born. Dinah Washington had a beautiful sound. I know the name only because of bloggers like you who introduced her to me. Actually, I think it was here where I first sampled her voice. :)

That’s part of my job, I think, to remind people that Dinah Washington and so many others brought us some wonderful music, stuff you don’t hear nowadays.

She was 39 when she died (OD’d on barbiturates). Had she lived longer, she might have been better known…
