Dinah Washington - Hall of Fame flac album

Dinah Washington (born Ruth Lee Jones; August 29, 1924 – December 14, 1963) was an American singer and pianist, who has been cited as "the most popular black female recording artist of the '50s". Primarily a jazz vocalist, she performed and recorded in a wide variety of styles including blues, R&B, and traditional pop music, and gave herself the title of "Queen of the Blues". She was a 1986 inductee of the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993.

The first woman inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Aretha Franklin was an artist of passion, sophistication and command, whose recordings remain anthems that defined soul music. Although she was firmly rooted in gospel, Franklin also drew from such blues and jazz legends as Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington and Sarah Vaughn as she developed her singing style. On the male side, she was inspired by Ray Charles, Nat King Cole and Sam Cooke (both with and without the Soul Stirrers). Incidentally, with the release of that album, Aretha had now been with Arista longer than Atlantic. Moreover, she’d managed the incredible feat of having hits in five consecutive decades. As a measure of her impact, Aretha Franklin has charted 43 Top Forty singles since 1961.

Dinah Washington's version of 'Unforgettable' hit the Hot 100 on 5 October 1959, and later joined Nat 'King' Cole's in the Grammy Hall of Fame. Dinah cut hers at the age of 35, only four years before her sad demise from a drink and drug overdose, and gave the song a whole new lease of life in the closing months of the 1950s. A few days before her new release made its chart debut, Washington and her band opened an engagement at New York’s Village Vanguard, performing ‘Unforgettable,’ the flipside ‘Nothing In The World’ and several blues numbers, including material from her Sings Bessie Smith album.
