The Very Best of Dinah Washington

Dinah Washington had one of the most distinctive and versatile voices in music. Washington could sell an R&B stomp just as well as she could interpret a torch song, and she could hold her own in the company of Jazz trumpet genius Clifford Brown and Bebop drum pioneer Max Roach. Her records, made for Mercury Records and the company's Jazz offshoot EmArcy Records in the US appeared in the UK through Oriole and then EMI. Notably, the 1959 album release of 'What a Diff'rence A Day Makes' featured the classics 'Cry Me A River', 'Manhattan', 'A Sunday Kind Of Love', 'Time After Time' and 'What a Diff'rence A Day Makes'. During the same year she visited the UK performing at the Bath Jazz Festival and recording an appearance for Granada Television's The Variety Show. Washington's discs regularly featured on BBC radio, but despite this, her only UK chart single came in November 1962 when 'September in the Rain' reached number 35 from the album of the same title. Also taken from 'September Rain' and featured on this LP is the popular Jazz standard composed by McHugh and Gaskill 'I Can't Believe That You're In Love With Me.'
