Unfortunately if he'd been just 10 - 15 years younger he'd have had greater exposure and acceptance. He was a pioneer and far too few black artists got the recognition their talent deserved. Thank God we've moved forward since!
Dinah & Brook - what a combination - Two of the Biggest singers of all times putting their talents together to give us such Great Music - The album “The Two of Us”. Gave us some Great Songs - every song was a hit on their own. I play the album and enjoy it every time I play it. Thanks Dina - Thanks Brook - Both of you will live on in your music - Music is an International Language and it is spoken every where you go. You both left us a lot of memories - God Bless you both - Dinah & Brook
This song was released in January 1960, the same year I was "released" from my mum's womb. The song has aged far better than I have. It is still so cool!
SAME HERE FRANCIS, SAME HERE, MOVING AND A SHAKING HAHAHA, HERE AND HI TO U AND EVERYONE FROM GREAT USA !!! PEACE BLESSINGS AND PROSPERITY TO U AND YOURS FRIEND ALWAYS!!
I was a little girl when this came out. My parents, aunts, and uncles loved this record. So you know we loved it too, because they'd want us to dance the twist or the chicken and would pay us a quarter. We were their entertainment. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
All of you are right i love Brookbenton was the man i was to young for that music my mother use to play all that music back.in the projct thats was whn you love that type of music rest in peace all you old timers

My mom told me about this song about 8 years ago and I've loved it so much ever since. It reminds me of she and my dad. RIP DADDY, he died 7 years ago to. Their marriage of 48 years was a TRUE fairytale. Willie H. & Willie Jewel Ware... True lovebirds. 😍😘😍
msware0104 God Bless u n yours msware, God is Good, this time and a feeling good n moving n a shakin hahaha, GREAT DAY TO U n YOURS n u fabulous mama for introducing it !! great ma u have
So true. I'm just so thankful i was born at a time when the truly great artists like Brook, Sam, Ray, Nat, Dinah, Sarah, Johnny Mathis, Timi Yuro, and a host of many other greats were recording. Great music never dies.
THESE 2 GOOD GOOD PEOPLE, KNOW THATS, THEY CAN SING. THIS WAS REALLY REALLY REALLY, WHAT UUUU CALL THE GREATEST SINGERS THEM DAYS. AWESOME, YESSSS I LOVED IT'S AND WANNA WANNA MORE OF IT.
This song is from the Album "The Two of Us". Some of the comments stated that they didn't like each other. How would anyone know this They recorded this album 64 years ago. I"'m sure most of the people making these comments were not born. I heard Brook Benton speak about the session once on a radio interview. According to him, they had a great time recording the album.
Dinah was extremely popular, she was called the Queen of the Blues and was a well--established star when she cut this, from what I have read about Dinah Washington she took no guff from any body.
She said "Stay out of my spot" And it seemed to be all in fun. He screwed up. but it worked out beautifully because I"ll be true and "Now it's you" rhythm. I think they were having a great time.
I was 8 years old,now I'm 72 plus,Love those oldies days of years past while I had a time travel machine I'd go back & never ever come back to today.!!!👼😇💆👶❣️
Hey, Carlos, me too I was 9 years old (71 now) when I first heard this song, played it over & over on the ''New Radiogram'' I've only now just read that they didn't get along & I never noticed but towards the end Brook starts to sing Dinah's line & in the background she can be heard to say, Your in my spot, people thought it was friendly banter but you can hear she's spitting venom. We also had The Inkspots Album (I still love hearing the Piano solo in Don’t Get Around Much Anymore), Rock Island Line by Lonnie Donegan & See You Later Alligator by Bill Haley, Mom sure had a good taste in music, yeah miss those days so much. Anyway, here we are, Cheers Mate
I can see my Granny sitting @ the kitchen table singing and preparing dinner! What great tmes in our home🥰🤗💖! We never had a lot of $ . But we had SOOOOO MUCH LOVE, GOD AND A LOT OF 45 RECORDS🥰👏🏾! WE WERE HAPPY 🙌🏾💖
Ralph Cavallone Dinah was one strong person, true, She was angry about Benton, BUT for my money, the anger came afterwards.Again,for ME,what I feel in this track,and HEAR, aside from 2 superb singers,is controlled laughter.This starts very early, which I believe is where Benton has dived in early,and sung Her lines, HENCE, Baby youre in my spot AGAIN!!! Two total professionals, carried on, [anybody else,would stop, and start again!!!]ON the next track, following this"ROCKING GOOD WAY"same infectious feeling,personally, I cannot feel how they could sing like this if angry!! The whole scene, they sound,totally, like they are enjoying themselves.
@@lena-mariaglouis-charles7036 Hi Lena & Louis, thanks for your reply, Dinah, was a beautiful person, and had a fabulous voice, who could really tug at your heart strings, and Brook Benton, the bo weavel man, had a deep rich baratone voice. together when singing, they were beautiful. back then you really had to have a good voice, no fudging. today the music has changed, to be honest with you, not to my liking.perhaps because im a senior.Im a tenor,an opera singer, i do all types of singing, and went on americas got talent in san francisco, in 2012. my favorite group was tony williams, & the platters. Tony was one of the finest tenors, i have ever heard. i use to sing some of his songs. all the best to you Louie Vaccaro, las vegas.
I love the part where he was supposed to come in second, but he jumped in, and she said “ you ‘re in my spot again, honey“! It sounds like he kept doing that during rehearsals lol. Instead of them redoing the song, they kept it in there and it’s classic!
Love this Oldie still have on CD This song came out 1960 the year I was born Love the Rock and Roll songs I could listen to them all day long The 1950s and 1960s Rock and Roll music I've listened to the Oldies half my life never got tired listen to this music Chuck Berry Fats Domino Little Richard The Drifters The Coasters Brook Benton and Dinah Washington are Classics Rest In Peace Rock and Roll singers!!!!!
This one of my all time favorite songs made days when music was not repedited song with words to sing along to In a time when music,cars,and westerns were great .
Note that, at about the 2:00 mark, after the end of a bridge lyric that Brooke sang, he comes in on her line. He makes a funny comment, she keeps singing, and after finishing the line, she says, "Now it's you." They both assumed this wouldn't be used, but the producer liked the ad-libbed byplay, and it became part of the released version.
Sounds better NOW than the original stereo on the LP & CD when each singer`s voice came out of a different speaker. A lot of stereo from `58-`60 was like that.Great Job!
They don't make good music like this it's so swingy and smooth
I agree tremendous tune.
Brook Benton should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
So true! They give out these awards now like candy to people who often don't have the real talent. Brook Benton was amazing!
Hands down. One of the GREATEST voices ever.
Why isn't he?
Totally agree
Unfortunately if he'd been just 10 - 15 years younger he'd have had greater exposure and acceptance. He was a pioneer and far too few black artists got the recognition their talent deserved. Thank God we've moved forward since!
I'm as White as Casper the Ghost, and literally cannot sit still while listening to this. Just wish this kind of music was still being produced.
Love this!!
@@rodneyrtennis1279 as if White people have no feel for music
😅😅
Don't matter who you are. Great song by two great people
A very happy song .when I feel depressing I listen to this song makes me feel happy .
This kinda music will never get old
Oh for sure!!

Here is a perfect example of how two voices can blend together so wonderfully.
This is a great song. My parents played this and Rockin' Good Way over 60 years ago when I was a kid and loved it ever since..

The late great,Brook Benton,how cool and how dapper and sharp could one man be.
And the late great Dinah
Wow! Now that's a great duet!😍😍😍!
@@fremlinmartel8223 I'm ok!
@@fremlinmartel8223 Mars! Get lost!!
I really like the voice of Brook Benton. So sad he had such a very short life. Died at age 56 in 1993. Another beautiful voice silenced.
Brook died in 1988 - RIP Mr Baritone Supreme
Juanita McFadin yes, another star in the sky😞
@@yogithebear67 Pneumonia brought him down
Dinah also died at a young age. 😟
So true. I'm just so thankful i was born at a time when the truly great artists like Brook, Sam, Ray, Nat, Dinah, Sarah, Johnny Mathis, Timi Yuro, and a host of many other greats were recording. Great music never dies.
I never get tired of hearing this.
Nor me, great song, great singers.
Me either. Love their voices
Rock 1960`s for ever!!!!
👍💕
This song is timeless. It sounds as if it was done yesterday, September 19-2020.
THESE 2 GOOD GOOD PEOPLE, KNOW THATS, THEY CAN SING. THIS WAS REALLY REALLY REALLY, WHAT UUUU CALL THE GREATEST SINGERS THEM DAYS. AWESOME, YESSSS I LOVED IT'S AND WANNA WANNA MORE OF IT.
what a song and what a voice Brook Benton had!!!
Now this was before my time. But at 52 years old and I rediscovering Ms. Dinah Washington..Treasure
This song is from the Album "The Two of Us". Some of the comments stated that they didn't like each other. How would anyone know this They recorded this album 64 years ago. I"'m sure most of the people making these comments were not born. I heard Brook Benton speak about the session once on a radio interview. According to him, they had a great time recording the album.
Brook Benton and Dinah Washington two of the greatest blues singers ever
January 1960. What a great duet! These two are fabulous!!
Love these two separately or together. They got that rhythm as always. 🌺Lani
Great great singer should be in hall of fame
This is My Kind of Music, They ARE Both Incredible 💖💖💖
Both absolute giants of music!
Absolutely
Hear Dinah saying" you took my spot " Brooks voice is like velvet
Dinah was extremely popular, she was called the Queen of the Blues and was a well--established star when she cut this, from what I have read about Dinah Washington she took no guff
from any body.
She said "Stay out of my spot" And it seemed to be all in fun. He screwed up. but it worked out beautifully because I"ll be true and "Now it's you" rhythm. I think they were having a great time.
@@1234pouvezI love how they kept going in spite of the mistake. Brilliant!!
I was 8 years old,now I'm 72 plus,Love those oldies days of years past while I had a time travel machine I'd go back & never ever come back to today.!!!👼😇💆👶❣️

I love this song, and hearing them sing-bicker makes me giggle! They couldn't stand each other, and gave us this masterpiece!!!
One of the best vocal match ups ever! And, they sound like they were having a lot of fun doing it. Thanks Brook and Dinah!
Wow! I stand corrected! Just another prima donna huh?
NO NO, NO Marvin and Tammy was the best match up ever

Oh the memories!!!! Thanks for this! When music was so simple!
love it. wish we had more of this today playing on the radio. they had what it "takes".
Sadly today's kids think this is "boring boomer music." I'm 17 and I love this type of music from the 1940s 50s 60s 70s
they were great singers, but they never got along, they did not like each other.
@@louisvaccaro5865
That may be, but on this great track they seem to have a good time while singing together...

Rocking around my kitchen!

These giants of yesterday were really the ever lasting kings and queens of sweet music at its best

Lucky you!
Шикарный дуэт!!! Великолепное исполнение!!! Очаровательная песня!!! 😀👏👏👏
💯
Gets me dancing every time, fantastic song , two fantastic singers!
This one of my all time favorite songs made days when music was not repedited song with words to sing along to
In a time when music,cars,and westerns were great .
Great music - such talent - too bad Dinah Washington passed away at such a young age.:
Good stuff!!!
Hard to believe that two people who in real life disliked each other so intently could crank out such a timeless duet!
Read what I wrote about that. It makes more sense.
I love this tune, Dinah Washington is so sassy!
Note that, at about the 2:00 mark, after the end of a bridge lyric that Brooke sang, he comes in on her line. He makes a funny comment, she keeps singing, and after finishing the line, she says, "Now it's you." They both assumed this wouldn't be used, but the producer liked the ad-libbed byplay, and it became part of the released version.
She didn't like him, and even said she doesn't need him, why am I fooling with this record?
You caught that, I never noticed that before
cause its a great song, that's why.. whats wrong with u man?
She said that to Brooks,pay attention Mary!
+Jeffry Burden One of the reasons why this remains one of my ALL TIME FAVORITES is the realness of this performance.
TIMELESS, now is may 2021 ! Greetings from germany, thanks for all !
Sounds better NOW than the original stereo on the LP & CD when each singer`s voice came out of a different speaker. A lot of stereo from `58-`60 was like that.Great Job!
Timeless masterpiece
😀😁🥰
Brook and Dinah oooh make me feel alive again 😊
Very beautiful song. There voices are great together. I love it. You can always listen to the song. You never get bored.
I love this!
Can't believe I've never heard it before!
They both should be in the hall of fame.
My mom bought this album back in '60, with this track, she wore it out!..
Best collaboration you got what it take
Just can’t beat the best singers when they pair up to sing a song together, smooth , great music.🇨🇦👍
Brook Benton Great singer 👍
