She was the Queen.

Thank you for that. The greatest. My mouth falls on the floor when I hear her sing blues, jazz, or pop.

Thanks for that. She was truly great.

I used to study jazz vocals with the late great Gery Scott. I had to audition for a spot, of course, and before I could audition, there was a sort of screening interview. In the usual way I was asked for my influences, and she told me later that it was naming Dinah Washington that got me the audition. "Never sang a word she hadn't lived", said Gery, who had known her.

Please wait...
