She was a great singer, one who stylistically fitted in somewhere between Billie Holiday and Bessie Smith but with a touch of something that made her a more commercial proposition than either. Washington could sell an R\\x26B stomp just as well as she could interpret a torch song, and she could hold her own. She could sing anything with conviction, allied to a style that was completely her own. Who knows where her career would have taken her had she not died so young? Her influence endures and Dinah\\x27s recordings will also live on, as this collection proves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56448517046646,"sku":"5060428913424","price":8.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_9044301_19735283_20241211024614.jpg?v=1762210366","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/5060428913424-the-very-best-of","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
