I have Nancy Wilson to thank for introducing me to Dinah Washington. Unfortunately I never got to see Dinah perform but followed Nancy as often as I could. Great Singers.
When you ask people about jazz singers, they always say 'Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald' but what about Dinah Washington and Sarah Vaughan?!!! for me, 2, of the best singers of all time
Dinah Washington sung so many different styles that she practically took herself out of the Jazz world. See back then if you didn't strictly sing jazz and did What Dinah done, singing different styles, you were frowned upon by the old heads of Jazz so to speak.
So cool that my nice is related to Dinah! Dinah is her great grandmother. Robert Grayson is her grandfather💞I feel blessed to know the family. Such a beautiful voice!
Dinah was one of my mom's favorite Jazz vocalists. The knew each other from the neighborhood and The Club D'Lisa. Mom wanted to name me after her...dad wanted to name me something else. I ended up with a name after a song Lol Dinah is just awesome!!!!!
😘😘I heard that Queen Dinah was a DIVA back in the day!! I’ve always wanted to learn more about Dinah Washington! Thank you for making this documentary public. Jazz at its finest!! One of the greatest singers of All Time! Blessings 🎺🎼🎶
I grew up listening to Dinah Washington. She was tops, number one in our house. My mother would be doing housework and singing Dinah Washinton songs. The memories are if they were yesterday, even though it was the late '50's. We would be sitting on the couch as my mother would be mopping the floors singing Dinah Washington, imitating her voice to perfection. We were captivated. We'd clap. We knew all of Dinah Washington's songs. My father, aunts, and uncles were big on Dinah. (My paternal family was from Alabama, migrating to Chicago, living across the street from DuSable High School. My father being in Dinah's age category). Man, you just don't know! "T.V. is the thing this year, oh yeah, t.v. is the thing this year. Radio was great, but now it's out of date, t.v. is the thing this year."
Dinah Washington is one of the best and most overlooked singers today. She became my favorite female singer in the 70's when I was a teen and played my father's "What a Difference a Day Makes" album. I went searching for more and found she had recorded a wealth of material. It has taken years, but I now own everything she recorded to my knowledge. Her life deserves a film. You can hear her influence on Aretha (she did a tribute album while at Columbia Records), Nancy Wilson, and Esther Phillips among many others. She was not kidding when she said she could sing anything. I love her!
This woman right here!!!! I love her she was amazing I’ve been a fan since I was 7 yrs old!!💕💕💕Rest in paradise Ms Dinah I still listen to your songs my fav two are teach me tonight and what a difference a day makes!
I just read her book, "Queen, the Life and Music of Dinah Washington". It is fantastic! Too bad she was obsessed with her weight and became addicted to speed which hastened her early death. What a shame, but oh, what a legacy she leaves.
Dinah Washington-“Destination Moon” (1962 Roulette) is sincerely dedicated to SpaceX, albeit going to international space station; still, the Queen could have been describing the Crew Dragon spacecraft way back then; have a safe and glorious flight! Thanks Mother for making me love the Queen, who you met at possibly her only San Diego, CA rare show appearance, the review article I was able to find online a few years ago, the Queen was so regal in the accompanying photo. Mother's vivid recollection of meeting Dinah, along with (3) other personal recollections from those seeing or working with the Queen, including a priceless story one told to me directly by the legendary Miss Shirley Horn, all being used as basis for proposed 16mm/Super 8 indie film project, "Dinah The Queen," being shot in 2 versions, 1st in Fujifilm color, 2nd in Tri-X black & white from the great Pro8mm film stocks (I owe you big time Phil!)---All The Dinah Washington & SpaceX Best, Andromeda International Records
Found myself revisiting Dinah today. It took me way back to my childhood in the early seventies. Daddy loved Dinah Washington, he would sit in his recliner and put her LP on the record player, and he would melt into her music. My favorites, “The Man That Got Away”, “Soulville”, “I Wanna Be Around”, “The Good Life”...to name a few. I’d dance on Daddy’s toes....those were the best times. When I listen to Dinah, he’s alive again, alive in my memories. I miss my Daddy, he was, for me, ICONIC.... RIH, Edward Clarence Fisher! I know that you, Bus, Mom(Grandmother) Mary, Mommy and Donna are singing and dancing in Heaven. Until we meet again...❤️❣️💕
Beautiful story, and may your father's memory always bring you much joy. Your retelling of life as it once was has brought a smile to my heart, dear Daddy's Girl. :)
Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, and Amy Winehouse are my trio of jazz queens. So when Amy Winehouse showed up in this, I almost lost it. Just perfect.
Billie was wonderful. I’m allowed to have my own opinions hun. And yes Amy. Amy was a fantastic jazz vocalist and the last true big embodiment of what jazz is.
No need for AutoTune, clown clothes, and theatrics. (Sorry Lady Gaga). Dinah Washington had a gift and an art. Her voice was so right with every note. Never had to strain or contort. Dinah Washington was perfection.
Dinah's mother had several children very late in her life when Dinah was already a teenager or grown, so young that when Dinah became successfu she tried to adopt them, so the woman talking about her sister is her sister but about 15-20 years younger
This woman should be played by Viola Davis. Both women are uniquely talented and s rare natural beauty. Aretha certainly was inspired by her fur lover girls they really were.
Thank you for posting. Love her music, funny how I placed flowers on her grave last year in October but until today; this is my first time seeing her in a motion film ... I’ve always seen pictures. Such a soothing voice, her music takes me to a special place.
I use sing her songs when I was 12 I loved her voice little could I dreamed One day I would meet a friend of her’s whose name was Bertha Henson from Annapolis Md who traveled with her wow the stories she would tell me Bertha was the first Black woman I met who was born with a silver spoon
Such an awesome talent , but such a sad life. I wish she had held on tighter to her gospel roots for strength and direction as only the Lord could provide.
I think her mom always knew that the worst thing that could happen to Dinah was to part ways with her church upbringing...and sadly her mother was right..
@@JazzFlop212 Perhaps "religion" is, but "spirituality' (YOU having YOUR OWN relationship with "the Lord") is not. I would GLADLY give my life in the name of MY LORD. Nothing religious about it. I just would. I feel no shame or guilt in that, and I NEVER will. Billions of others see spirituality as I do and would do the same. My FAITH tells me so.
Loretta Divine would have been superb as Dinah. I've noticed the resemblance and thought for some time and was hoping someone would've picked up on that fact and went to work on bringing this to fruition. Even now with a good makeup job Miss Divine could pull it off playing the one and magnificently only Dinah.
I remember when living in Chicago and Nancy Wilson was in town. She so much wanted to play *Dinah in a movie of her life. But........Dinah's family were against it at the time; as they didn't want Dinah's legacy about her drug use being promoted !!
What a nice surprise to see that people do want a movie on Dinah. 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!
Aretha was let go after 5 yrs from her recording contract, and she came to fame down in Alabama with Rick Hall's white musicians in Muscle Shoals (Fame Records).
Is it fair to compare Dinah Washington to Mahalia Jackson? I wonder in what way they differ in voice and intention? Surely they both could be called the greatest Gospel singers of their time.
Loretta Devine! Loretta Devine! Loretta Devine! Please someone out there who can make it happen...hire this beautiful woman with earth shaking acting skills to play Dinah Washington. She should have been tapped for it when younger so she could do the " tour de force" thing but it's still not too late for Ms. Devine to do it. Hear me Tyler P? Qunicy J? Quinton T? Ancestors of Mankewicz or S. Speilberg? Do it yall!!!
We can speculate how people with education and talent had to be placed in a box, and seeing people with way less talent get to the top because of their white skin. I would be rude and a bitch too, because the worse thing you can do is to keep down someone with talent and good gifts.
Dinah Washington...did it her way...but...she suffered in comparison....to Billie...Ella...Sarah Vaughan..etc...still imo...she was just as incomparable as they were....
That's ironic Amy was in this video when Amy in fact was Dinah in a past life . Listen to Dinah then listen to Amy winehouse it's the same thing just different tone
go to Spotify you can pull all her songs there . She was the GREATEST!. Then you can pull up all the songs and just pay the price I think its 10 per month now i have all and downloaded them and others they will release to spotify and then make a playlist to listen at work .
I don't understand the Billie Holiday comparison. Billie Holiday vocally isn't anywhere as good as Dinah. Now her phasing is second to none but vocally, it had to feel like an insult to the likes Ella Fitzgerald and Dinah to be compared to that.
Correct. Two sons. Robert Grayson Jr and George Jenkins Jr, but both have passed. Her biopic is being told through their POV. You can get updates @thedinahwashington on Instagram
guess they don't plan to make a movie about her...she could sing but she was crude rude and a drunk..39 married 8-9 times nasty ..her sons were ripped off by the last husband when it came to the money, that is until a re-release of her music in the late 90's but still they got screwed then too. Why the Hell do people with money assumed the spouse will do right by the real family members? It never happens ever! Oh and then the owed back taxes that really ate up the estate money.....Pay your damn taxes and leave a will that includes your children!

Maria The Girl From Ipanema Carman McRae McArthur Park.
Dinah Washington sung so many different styles that she practically took herself out of the Jazz world. See back then if you didn't strictly sing jazz and did What Dinah done, singing different styles, you were frowned upon by the old heads of Jazz so to speak.
For me its Sarah...Dinah Right there...Both get Not enough Love....
Don't forget Nina Simone, Classical Trained Pianist!!!!! Esther Phillips voice was not pretty but was a well known singer, as well!!!!
@@islandgirl5382 I believe Nina Simone has a daughter who can also sing and is part of a Daughters of Legends tour but struggle with funding.
This was a STRONG Black Woman! She could sing tears in you eyes.
Somehow Dinah always looks a little bit forgotten amongst other female singers. To me, she's one of the best.
Its because she was blessed with dark skin.
She’s easily one of the top 5 best female singers of the 50s.
So special
Sarah Vaughan too
@@shannong.9762 Oh Lord!
for me Dinah was the best of all female singers.She sang the blues, Jazz, R&B Pop you name it she sing it.
So cool that my nice is related to Dinah! Dinah is her great grandmother. Robert Grayson is her grandfather💞I feel blessed to know the family. Such a beautiful voice!
She is also the aunt to my cousins
Here in 2020!!! She’s a Legend 🙏🏽
Dinah was one of my mom's favorite Jazz vocalists. The knew each other from the neighborhood and The Club D'Lisa. Mom wanted to name me after her...dad wanted to name me something else. I ended up with a name after a song Lol Dinah is just awesome!!!!!
😘😘I heard that Queen Dinah was a DIVA back in the day!! I’ve always wanted to learn more about Dinah Washington! Thank you for making this documentary public. Jazz at its finest!! One of the greatest singers of All Time! Blessings 🎺🎼🎶
I recommend her biography, "Queen"
I grew up listening to Dinah Washington. She was tops, number one in our house. My mother would be doing housework and singing Dinah Washinton songs. The memories are if they were yesterday, even though it was the late '50's.
We would be sitting on the couch as my mother would be mopping the floors singing Dinah Washington, imitating her voice to perfection. We were captivated. We'd clap. We knew all of Dinah Washington's songs. My father, aunts, and uncles were big on Dinah. (My paternal family was from Alabama, migrating to Chicago, living across the street from DuSable High School. My father being in Dinah's age category). Man, you just don't know!
"T.V. is the thing this year, oh yeah, t.v. is the thing this year. Radio was great, but now it's out of date, t.v. is the thing this year."
I was born and raised in Chicago. I remember those Ida B. Wells projects. Chicago has much rich history
Dinah Washington is one of the best and most overlooked singers today. She became my favorite female singer in the 70's when I was a teen and played my father's "What a Difference a Day Makes" album. I went searching for more and found she had recorded a wealth of material. It has taken years, but I now own everything she recorded to my knowledge. Her life deserves a film.

Dinah Washington Had one unique voice I must admit very soulful yet spiritual still yet commercial
Always my favorite Female Singer.? Sad that the World lost her at such an early age.? R.I.P. Dinah. For you are Sadly missed by all of your Fans.?
Ms. Washington lived an incredible life. Thank you for posting this clip!
We will never see a talent like hers again. Thank you for this wonderful 4 part documentary.
RIP Dinah Washington She Sure Was a Great Singer My Mother Adore Her RIP Mom! 7/19/13.
R.I.P BEAUTIFUL QUEEN OF THE BLUES GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL ALWAYS 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
My Fav all time Gal singer since seeing Jazz on a Summers Day when i was 16 in 1960.
I just read her book, "Queen, the Life and Music of Dinah Washington". It is fantastic! Too bad she was obsessed with her weight and became addicted to speed which hastened her early death. What a shame, but oh, what a legacy she leaves.
I knew her seamstress.In one book they named her but I will not
I love her voice, I have to find her biography now.
i don't actually know any other celebrity who was as savage as dinah
Thank God for Dinah Washington.One of the Best.
A beautiful voice for a beautiful woman. RIP
Amazing voice, so much character and depth
love it..my favorite female jazz vocalist! thank you for these videos
It is a pity we don't have videos of Dinah singing live, can you imagine her singing "Mad about the boy" live ??
We do have a few. Newport Jazz Festival "All of me" comes to mind.
Fernando,
Do the research you can find quite a few of her performances on film.
“You asked me what I’m doing after the show? You never asked me what I’m doing on the show. “
Exactly! And then she says, "ANYWAYS...." and proceeds to answer, just as dismissively as the moment called for. Love it! :)
I'm waiting for a proper biopic on this legend
It's in development with rights from her family. You can get updates on her IG @thedinahwashington
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 her story should be told
Awesome thanks for sharing this Video footage of the Queen my favorite Singer the most Beautiful Voice ever !
Thank you for uploading this film. Dinah is one of the greatest singers. Show Time is my fav song by Dinah Washington.

I already loved Ms. Dinah. Now I adore her.
Found out via Facebook that Dinahs son Robert Grayson Jnr passed away 21st April 2020 from complications caused by Covid. He was 71.
Best singer ever!!!
😍
Dinah was wonderful
I've been a fan for many years. Video footage was always rare until digital editing & BBC opening their vaults. Thanks for posting this. xoxo :)
Amazing voice, my favorite diva extraordinare
Brilliant singer!!

What about BILLY holiday
Amy really
Billie was wonderful. I’m allowed to have my own opinions hun. And yes Amy. Amy was a fantastic jazz vocalist and the last true big embodiment of what jazz is.
No need for AutoTune, clown clothes, and theatrics. (Sorry Lady Gaga). Dinah Washington had a gift and an art. Her voice was so right with every note. Never had to strain or contort. Dinah Washington was perfection.
Standards were the order of the day. Standards are no more.😢
arizenza6 You’re absolutely right. Empathy was another standard. Not always thinking the world revolves around you, Nancy Pelosi🥱😢
Whatever,Lady Gaga couldn't carry Dinah's purse.
I never knew Washington I just heard her just today 2021 I never knew her but she is great she was underrated
Dinah was such a classy lady.
Most of the pics and videos are from the early 1960s. I remember she played at a bar my Mom owned and came to the house some.
My Favorite Female Vocalist !
Whst a difference a day makes this bitter earth baby u got what it takes❤️🙏💋💋💋😭😭🙏❤️💋❤️🙏
Dinah's mother had several children very late in her life when Dinah was already a teenager or grown, so young that when Dinah became successfu she tried to adopt them, so the woman talking about her sister is her sister but about 15-20 years younger
Her sons were mistly raised by Dinah's more a major gospel figure herself while Dinah toured
This woman should be played by Viola Davis. Both women are uniquely talented and s rare natural beauty. Aretha certainly was inspired by her fur lover girls they really were.
Thank you for posting. Love her music, funny how I placed flowers on her grave last year in October but until today; this is my first time seeing her in a motion film ... I’ve always seen pictures. Such a soothing voice, her music takes me to a special place.
I think Loretta Divine could play her on the big screen
Loretta Divine look just like her.
Yes. She favors her
Great choice.
Loretta Devine should play her character if there’s ever a biopic
Dinah started in Hamps band and learned vibes from Hamp
voz increíble, inolvidable Dinah!!
Beautiful wonderful woman. Someone should do a biopic. Distinct voice, when you hear the voice, you know exactly who it belongs to.
What a voice! “This Bitter Earth” might be my favorite of her’s. Dinah looked ridiculous as a blonde tho. 🤷🏾♀️
Compared to the pink, green, purple, and orange hair now I’d say she was conservative
I use sing her songs when I was 12 I loved her voice little could I dreamed One day I would meet a friend of her’s whose name was Bertha Henson from Annapolis Md who traveled with her wow the stories she would tell me Bertha was the first Black woman I met who was born with a silver spoon
Such an awesome talent , but such a sad life. I wish she had held on tighter to her gospel roots for strength and direction as only the Lord could provide.
you cringy fuck
Tell that to the hundreds of millions who lost their lives in the name of "the lord". Religion is nothing but a damaging crutch.
I think her mom always knew that the worst thing that could happen to Dinah was to part ways with her church upbringing...and sadly her mother was right..

@@LoveFirstYou ok..?
She was wonderful. What a terrible loss to her family and friends and to music that she died so young.
Wonderful
Thank you corporalhenshaw for this! Much, much appreciated~~~ 💜💜💜
Taraji P Henson could play Ms. Washington. Both have pretty round faces and Taraji is very talented and versatile.
The Offspring of people who tried to Marginalize such resilient people must be very ashamed today.
Lorreta Dvine could have played her but Dinah died at age 39...although I love LD i think that she is about 60 now
I was just thinking the same thing! Loretta Divine in some ways looks like Dinah.
Taraji Henson could do it. Young but old enough and talented enough to bring Dinah to life.
Loretta Divine would have been superb as Dinah. I've noticed the resemblance and thought for some time and was hoping someone would've picked up on that fact and went to work on bringing this to fruition. Even now with a good makeup job Miss Divine could pull it off playing the one and magnificently only Dinah.
Taraji P Henson maybe?
Queen Latifa! She can sing too!
First 2 minutes confirm, she did send Patti Labelle a telegram asking her to stop singing her songs!! AHAHHAHAHA
Probably telling her! LOL
This is "Originals: Dinah Washington - Evil Gal Blues" (2007) BBC Four.
Taraji P. Henson should play Dinah in a life story tribute film
I think Octavia Spencer would be perfect in that role.
I doubt if Henson could handle the vocals, better get Fantasia.
@@WindDancer435
Tasia’s voice is too scratchy. Dinah’s is smoother.
Loretta Devine looks the most like Dinah but she’s probably too old now to convincingly play a woman who died at 39.
I hear Billie Holiday in her voice you can tell she was heavily influenced by her
They was a couple chile
Melhor cantora de jazz na minha opinião. Parece q para os homens ficou a responsabilade de compor e tocar.
I think this might be a good role for Fantasia.
I remember when living in Chicago and Nancy Wilson was in town. She so much wanted to play *Dinah in a movie of her life. But........Dinah's family were against it at the time; as they didn't want Dinah's legacy about her drug use being promoted !!

That would be Great to do a movie with All those Black entertainers of years ago.
We just need Steven Speilberg to do it!
Aretha was let go after 5 yrs from her recording contract, and she came to fame down in Alabama with Rick Hall's white musicians in Muscle Shoals (Fame Records).
Is it fair to compare Dinah Washington to Mahalia Jackson? I wonder in what way they
differ in voice and intention? Surely they both could be called the greatest Gospel singers
of their time.
Charles William Wells , Dinah started singing gospel with gospel legend the late Sallie Martin & Mahalia Jackson. Mahalia sang at her funeral in 1963
My favorite song that she sang was...
" What kind of cool am I."
.
Dinah was awesome, her sister seems so jealous, sad
Loretta Devine! Loretta Devine! Loretta Devine! Please someone out there who can make it happen...hire this beautiful woman with earth shaking acting skills to play Dinah Washington. She should have been tapped for it when younger so she could do the " tour de force" thing but it's still not too late for Ms. Devine to do it. Hear me Tyler P? Qunicy J? Quinton T? Ancestors of Mankewicz or S. Speilberg? Do it yall!!!
Don't forget Quincy Jones in the Dinah Washington story.
Beautiful lady
Great information but get rid of captions...it distracts n obscures text info and also lots of misspellings
can somebody tell me where can i get the dinah washington’s interview?
Can someone help me, to identify the song from the almost end of this great doc. 12.59- live performance- organs in the background.
Are you talking about "Make Someone Happy"?
💋💋💋💋🎤🎤🎤🎼🎼🎼👍👍👍💕💕💕
We can speculate how people with education and talent had to be placed in a box, and seeing people with way less talent get to the top because of their white skin. I would be rude and a bitch too, because the worse thing you can do is to keep down someone with talent and good gifts.
Dinah Washington...did it her way...but...she suffered in comparison....to Billie...Ella...Sarah Vaughan..etc...still imo...she was just as incomparable as they were....
Why was the Chicago gospel church demolished and not rebuilt - it seems odd that there is just an empty space.
Does anyone know?
It doesn’t get any better then the family. Hollywood going to put there own spin on it.
That's ironic Amy was in this video when Amy in fact was Dinah in a past life . Listen to Dinah then listen to Amy winehouse it's the same thing just different tone
Maybe it's me, but when I want to hear a song, I expect to be able to have a way to pull it up with the title and artist. Can't do it. Bummer!!
go to Spotify you can pull all her songs there . She was the GREATEST!. Then you can pull up all the songs and just pay the price I think its 10 per month now i have all and downloaded them and others they will release to spotify and then make a playlist to listen at work .
How did she have so money
One of her husbands I thnk name Ted something also married Aretha Franklin.
Ahead of your time Dinah
She didn't Know How
To Dress ? But once
She did Sbe was Sharp . ❤
Has Beatrice Buck since died?
I don't understand the Billie Holiday comparison. Billie Holiday vocally isn't anywhere as good as Dinah. Now her phasing is second to none but vocally, it had to feel like an insult to the likes Ella Fitzgerald and Dinah to be compared to that.
Sinatra and Ella acknowledged Billie's genius and influence. Its not just about the voice. Its the musicianship.
bolder2009 I can most definitely agree with that, hence the acknowledgement of her amazing phasing.
did she have any children's? (r.i.p)
Two Sons. One is in this doc. He's the one at the beginning talking about how many husbands she had.
so the 2 sons 1 is walking in Chicago and the other was sitting down looking through the pic's ?
Lisa H No the one looking through the pics was her photographer. Just the guy walking through Chicago is her son. Her other son is not in this doc.
Correct. Two sons. Robert Grayson Jr and George Jenkins Jr, but both have passed. Her biopic is being told through their POV. You can get updates @thedinahwashington on Instagram
Some say Amy winehouse was Dinah reincarnated.
guess they don't plan to make a movie about her...she could sing but she was crude rude and a drunk..39 married 8-9 times nasty
..her sons were ripped off by the last husband when it came to the money, that is until a re-release of her music in the late 90's but still they got screwed then too. Why the Hell do people with money assumed the spouse will do right by the real family members? It never happens ever! Oh and then the owed back taxes that really ate up the estate money.....Pay your damn taxes and leave a will that includes your children!
What do u think of Amy Winehouse ?
