I love Dinah. Her two "jam session" records are my favorite vocal jazz records ever.

Don’t know what up with browser message. Anyway Dinah is such a great listen. She sounds a lot like Billie in places on Crazy He Calls Me and what some great players she has and if I don’t have the two sessions you’re talking about I need them

What browser are you using? Internet Exploder is definitely deprecated, and shouldn't be used. There are far better browsers available. I like Firefox, but the choice is wide.

I have an iPhone 11 but using Chrome

Well, I dunno then. I've never used an iphone, but I do use Chrome on my chromebook. I don't know how well it mates with iThingies. Maybe it was just a matter of the wrong cosmic waves hitting at the wrong angle at the wrong time.

Great singer, I have a number of her records and a box set of 9 cds on Mercury that also includes her r & b material.
One of the bandleaders I work w/used to gig w/her in the late 50s early 60s

There would have been no Esther Phillips or Diane Schuur without DW.

The best! And, here's her signature song:
Love you, Dinah!! None of today's parakeets can even come close to your talents.
Play live . . . Marinero

A singular talent for sure.
Married 6 times by the time of her death at age 39…she wasn’t one for small talk, I guess.
Bit of trivia - her last husband was Dick Night Train Lane, great football player for the Detroit Lions in the 50’s and 60’s. He spent time in Council Bluffs, IA, where I work, and went to college in Scottsbluff, NE.

Drake swallowed a whole bottle(!), so it was either ignorance or suicide.

I did light up a bowl with him, which made the time with the grandparents infinitely more interesting.
I had a college classmate who was a speed freak. Guy’s brain was so loose it would almost fall out. The rich kids preferred coke, whereas the pill of choice in those days among the untermenschen was quaaludes—the old 714…
There was a doc in Atlanta popularly known as the QD…if you were 21 and went to see this doc and told him about stress in school, can’t sleep, etc., he would prescribe 75 methaqualone tablets on the spot. It was a common thing among my classmates back in the day.
I myself avoided all intoxicants except beer and weed. I figured I didn’t need anything making me any stupider than I already was. (Which is why I stopped smoking pot in medical school.)
