Dinah Washington doesn’t get enough props, she really helped bridged the gap between Jazz, Pop, Blues etc. She paved the way for Aretha, Etta, Dionne etc
@@darlababydoll1997 huh? lol she was definitely NOT jealous of her. Aretha didn't have any hits or even a big success selling records for Dinah to be jealous of before she passed away.
I used to say Loretta Devine should have played this role, but now time has passed. Fantasia would be awesome for this role. Listen to the original teach me tonight in conjunction with Fantasia period.....
I’ve been on a huge Dinah Washington kick lately and was thinking about who’d be great for a movie. Honestly, Taraji P. Henson would be perfect for looks sake.
I was always a big fan of Dinah Washington and enjoy how she sang those songs of especially "What A Difference A Day Makes" one of my favorites. She was phenomenal and would listen to her songs the entire day and night when I wasn't working.
True. She struggled with her weight too. There are documentaries about Dinah Washington on youtube. She was quite the singer, the entertainer of her time and her era.
The movie made me look at her as even more of a Queen she’s been thru enuff she’s a kid that went thru all that n played piano golf tennis did ballet she is truly a queen persevered thru some s*** we could never make it thru 2 kids before 15 and taken away from her mother......probably had to take control of the situation best she could
ARETHA was born in wealth & died in wealth. how hard was her life? normal children when they sneak downstairs = they see a kitchen or a living room with a TV show of these celebs. not "Live" ! SHE WAS BEYOND Privileged
@@cinnamonstar808 being privileged doesn't mean she had no issues growing up. she literally gave birth as a teen. she was a black woman, you know how hard it was for black ppl back then and it still is. she had not so open minded parent or calm environment. She even had addiction issues I think.
@@cinnamonstar808 Oh wow ok that makes her childhood trauma so much easier to deal with. Oh wait, it doesn’t. Money doesn’t take the trauma of loosing your mum or being a teenage parent. Not to mention she was 12 and 14 with her first two pregnancies. Or did you miss that?
I’ve only know Carole King to have wrote ONE of Aretha’s hit which was “Natural Woman” you mean Carolyn Franklin (Aretha’s little sister) cause she’s wrote quite a bit of Aretha’s hits.
I watched the series today and it has several inaccuracies like the fact that Aretha had an older brother Vaughn Franklin that was in the household as well.
@@donnamoreno9750 you are correct and he was the only child that she took when she left is my understanding so that maybe the reason why he is not shown.
My alltime favorite singer with Nat King Cole. I absolutely love the original edition on Blue Gardenia. Lectric chair is the jam. As well as the Don Costa Sound with Roulette records in 62 -63.
I feel so torn with the big riff about this series and the biopic Jhud is going to do. I have watched this and Cynthia is PHENOMENAL! Regardless of the story-line, she completely embodied Aretha whole-heartedly in my humble opinion, and she did a SPECTACULAR JOB! She is an INCREDIBLE TALENT and I loved the whole series. I am just sorry about all of the conflict behind the scenes. I will await Jhud's movie as well....love her LOTS too.
Ironically, Aretha's early jazzy albums including a tribute to Dinah were not very successful (as you might know from the movie). Aretha then moved to a more soulful gospel sound and found her very famous voice.

Dinah was bigger than Aretha at that time as Aretha was a child. Gifted yes, but soul music wasn't created yet. Remember Sam Cooke hadn't left the church to song soul yet.

MJB gave us a glimpse of Miss Washington's real life personality. As documentaries and peers of hers said, she was the Queen of the Blues. And that table flipping incident happened not only to Aretha Franklin but also Etta James allegedly.
I feel like they should have used the actresses who played Dinah washington and little aretha in the jhud biopic. Little aretha in the biopic was good but the actress used here in Genius is phenomenal. Mary J as Dinah in the movie version was a dud. Sorry
Hi, if you can just spare some time for me and watch my vid about who will win in a battle between the lion and the tiger, it will be very very helpful for me.. I'm not all forcing anyone.. Only if you're interested you can watch it.. Thank you so much.

Genius is the name of the national geographic docuseries franchise. Aretha Franklin was definitely genius as a pioneer of Soul music, the civil rights movement and women's rights.
Dinah Washington had a distinctive diction and tone! No doubt about it. Ma Raney, Bessie Smith and Dinah Washington popularized the Blues in the 19th century 🖤

She's The Queen!

Dina was jealous of Aretha later on
Darla Baby Doll Probably..Aretha was jealous of Whitney, it happens to the best of them.
@@darlababydoll1997 huh? lol she was definitely NOT jealous of her. Aretha didn't have any hits or even a big success selling records for Dinah to be jealous of before she passed away.
The actress playing Dinah is beautiful
Is that Anika Noni Rose?
@@monicakeenon8943 Nope.
Her name is Stacey Sargeant
She's gorgeous

They need to do a Dinah Washington move for real. One of the top greatest singers of all time.
I used to say Loretta Devine should have played this role, but now time has passed. Fantasia would be awesome for this role. Listen to the original teach me tonight in conjunction with Fantasia period.....
I saw an off Broadway production of her life some years ago. It was really good and her voice was so distinctive
agreed. i think Janelle Monae has the current marketing appeal...oh, and she can sing too!
@@RodrickColbertCould be Fantasia?
I’ve been on a huge Dinah Washington kick lately and was thinking about who’d be great for a movie. Honestly, Taraji P. Henson would be perfect for looks sake.
Can we talk about Stacey Sargeant? She bodied her role as Dinah! She perfectly captured Dinah’s grand and sultry persona.
Courtney B. Vance bodied Rev. C.L. Franklin in this series. He better get another Emmy. I enjoyed his performance.
I was always a big fan of Dinah Washington and enjoy how she sang those songs of especially "What A Difference A Day Makes" one of my favorites. She was phenomenal and would listen to her songs the entire day and night when I wasn't working.
Chill music. I don't know much about Aretha, but this is smooth~

Dinah Washington was a legend unfortunately she died at the age of 39
Her's was tragic because she passed away of an accidental overdose!💊
Omg.... Really
@@tlovemcgee unfortunately yes
True. She struggled with her weight too. There are documentaries about Dinah Washington on youtube. She was quite the singer, the entertainer of her time and her era.
@@kctaylorsings Yes, I have seen a few of them.
Dinah Washington is one of my all time favorites. That power 🤗
Her voice is distinct and mesmerizing. I play her music constantly 🖤

Was not she a mom by then ?

national geographic????
@@dumisilegumede6048 yes this show is in National Geographic
Real talent ♥️
Nice video.
Fantastic singer's
That song give me goose bumps.
Was Carole King ever portrayed in this miniseries? She _did_ write quite a few of Aretha's biggest hits.
It's not really Dinah ..the actress is playing Dinah...movie series was just on this week .misleading
..
I’ve only know Carole King to have wrote ONE of Aretha’s hit which was “Natural Woman” you mean Carolyn Franklin (Aretha’s little sister) cause she’s wrote quite a bit of Aretha’s hits.
She wasn't
The person who is reading this comment , i wish you great success , health, love and happiness 💖💖💖
Is Stacey Sargeant playing Dinah? Awesome job in voice and look!
How many of you don't know anything about them but still are watching it. 😅.. 🤔
I watched the series today and it has several inaccuracies like the fact that Aretha had an older brother Vaughn Franklin that was in the household as well.
Vaughn was his mother's (Barbara) first child from another relationship. Correct me if I'm wrong tho.
@@donnamoreno9750 you are correct and he was the only child that she took when she left is my understanding so that maybe the reason why he is not shown.

And she certainly is a Great One.
What is your favorite Aretha Franklin song?
🤗A family gathering, celebrating the moments of togetherness.
Well this is quite COOL
You can watch the rest of Genius: Aretha on Hulu now!
Sick
I feel so torn with the big riff about this series and the biopic Jhud is going to do. I have watched this and Cynthia is PHENOMENAL!

Have you seen RESPECT yet?
@@donnamoreno9750 Not yet but I'm gonna
@@meandemjay You'll love it as well, too!💚 They were able to cram a lot of storyline in two and a half hours!
Lovely
This was beauitful
Because of the economic crisis and the rate of unemployment now is the best time to invest and make money 💯
Exactly sir
Investing in crypto currency is one of the best chance of making money 💸
Buy gold and crypto
That won't bother you if you trade with a Professional like Mrs Olivia Walters

I love this biopic.
Nice Video. 🌳🌳🇮🇳
Women Power.. 👍

Facts. As jazz slowed down in terms of popularity. Soul became popular. Then R&B, Rock and Roll, Disco and Hip Hop. And eventually Auto Tune.

That is not Dinah's voice and that's a shame and a tragedy.
Hi
She favors Karen Clark Sheard
So the Ted gut married her I’m so confused
Yes, but he met her as a child.
Stacy Sargeant does a good, good, good Dinah Washington.
That ain't my Dinah! Kudos to the actress, but it's hard to impersonate, duplicate or replicate the voice, attitude or energy of The Queen.
Please what the name movie?
Genius: Aretha I believe
Dinah's is bigger than aretha
To each is own
Dinah was bigger than Aretha at that time as Aretha was a child. Gifted yes, but soul music wasn't created yet. Remember Sam Cooke hadn't left the church to song soul yet.
Beautiful, gentle people of culture. No twerking, no gangsta nonsense, no praising single mothers on welfare. It can be done. MAGA.

It may have taken away from the actual central perspective of the movie. But allegedly there is a Dinah Washington biopic on development?

Franklin not as good as Dinah!!!!!
you don't have to say she's a "genius" just because she's a famous black woman. do you think she thought of herself as one?
Your comment is pointless.
