She was my mother's favorite singer. What a natural beautiful voice she had! No effort just her natural voice God given. I just love it. RIP Dinah you will never be replaced!
This footage is invaluable to those that know and love Miss D: from a musical perspective, notice how she was able to glide from her newfound pop success with her big hit record, What a Diff'rence a Day Makes" to her more comfortable jazz roots with "Makin' Whoopee!" And to have her Mercury Records labelmate, the great Louis Jordan doing romantic horn obligatos behind Dinah while leadint a swinging band. How cool is that?
If you are a Dinah fan, you can help by showing Hollywood there is a fan base for her still. Please follow any of her social media profiles. Instagram: @thedinahwashington, Facebook: Dinah Washington Project and Twitter: @dinahwasbiopic. The producers and Dinah's family thank you!
She was my girlfriend too. I still love her and listen to all her songs. I have been a fan for over fifty years. She was one of kind. A treasure for everyone to enjoy.
This is just wonderful, because of Louis and Dinah and interesting, because of Ronald Reagan's hosting the scene at, of all places, the Apollo Theater in Harlem. It feels kind of "so far, yet so near." And Dinah Washington with the Louis Jordan Orchestra was just sublime! Thank you for this rare performance!
Dwayne, listen to it one mo'gain its worth it. we need to get back to the roots tbh. people don't play instruments anymore . its a shame because the elders would train for years and years until they mastered those
Such Class THIS Lady was ! Im just getting To see who She was ? I found Her LP at home AND started to listen to. What a Difference a Day Makes but never Knew what she looked like ? May I say I've seen Clips She was.so Cool always Dressed to a T ! Beautiful ❤
One of the most important figures in R and B is the band leader, Louis Jordan he was the first R and B star. he was the one Ronnie was speaking to at the beginning of the segment. You can check him out on TH-cam
...wish I was born in her era.. she went out like a rock star, O.D.ed at the height of her popularity. found some of her records at the thrift store and this song is on it. I love her voice so much, I play my 4 D.W. records over and over.. cant get enough!

@@dinahwashington8113 maybe you should tell the people she didnt "OD""....making them think she was a drug addict......she died from a combination of prescribed medications.......a diet drug and a sleep aid...........
I've seen it ALL now. Ronald Reagan at the Apollo!--and with Dinah Washington and Louis Jordan! what a country! but seriously, Dinah doing novelty songs like Whoopie and Electric Chair shows how difficult her career path was. but she could sing anything.
Louie and Ronny are done before the end of 'I Could be Wrong." The stage manager cues Louie at the last 8 of the tune and Louie's off to the races. He was a real pro. And he grabs Dinah's hand as she get's to center stage. They had class back then.
Without a doubt, Ronald Reagan was a very talented individual. This introduction of Dinah Washington is a prime example of his talents as well as the wonderful singing talents of Dinah Washington.
Apollo Theater Louis Jordan Band with the 'Queen of the Blues' Dinah Washington. 'What a=A Difference A Day Makes' and the difference is you. 'Making Whopee' sang women.
I've never seen this entire clip. I cannot thank you enough for sharing it. A president introduces the queen, whose bandleader is also a legend!
Ronald Reagan was the TV MC.
Live From the Apollo should have lasted forever.

I mean just listen to her voice! How could anybody's voice sound so amazing. It's a wonder how God can create such a voice.

I've seen it ALL now. Ronald Reagan at the Apollo!--and with Dinah Washington and
Louis Jordan! what a country! but seriously, Dinah doing novelty songs like Whoopie

Classic jazz! Beautiful.
