Playing in a TV commercial near you right now is probably a Dinah Washington song. It was the use of "Mad About The Boy" in one such ad that prompted this collection. Still, let's not get too sniffy about that because if it means that more people get to hear her than that's all the better. For since her heyday of the late 1950s/early 60s Dinah has been neglected for far too long. Her's is a voice of Viagra mixed with gravel, which spans jazz, R&B and pop. This collection from Phonogram has 17 sparkling numbers from the swing of "All Of Me" to the sensuousness of "Let's Do It" and the sheer class of the title track. In each her phrasing is excellent with every consonant and vowel perfectly delivered. Dying tragically early at 39 Dinah Washington may not be as well know as Ella Fitzgerald or Billie Holiday but at her best and with the right tune Dinah could mix with the best. Get mad about Dinah. --Phil Bret |
