Heart Beats: Sirens of Song - Classic Torch

Heart Beats: Sirens of Song - Classic Torch (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

Rhino's Sirens of Song: Classic Torch Singers is an excellent collection of late-night, lovelorn vocals by some of the best singers of the century -- and yes, all of them are female, since a strict definition of torch singing (not to mention sirens) excludes males. The collection leads off with "Cry Me a River" by Julie London, the prototypical ...

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: Best of Dinah Washington

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: Best of Dinah Washington (1999) more music like this

by Dinah Washington

Dinah Washington could sing any song and make it sound like everybody's life depended on it. An awe-inspiring jazz vocalist with roots in the R&B scene of the 1940s, she gradually evolved into a pop star during the '50s and would have matured marvelously were it not for an accidental prescription drug overdose that took her out at the age of 39 on ...

What a Diff'rence a Day Makes!

What a Diff'rence a Day Makes! (1959) more music like this

by Dinah Washington

One of the more notorious albums in the history of vocal music, What a Diff'rence a Day Makes! is the lush session that bumped up Dinah Washington from the "Queen of the Blues" to a middle-of-the-road vocal wondress -- and subsequently disenfranchised quite a few jazz purists. Washington had been praised in the same breath as Holiday and ...

Great Ladies Sing the Blues (1995) more music like this

by Various Artists

Although only some of the featured artists on this budget-priced collection are blues singers in any strict sense, one thing's for certain -- they're all great ladies.

Risque Rhythm: Nasty 50s R&B (1991) more music like this

Risque Rhythm: Nasty 50s R&B contains 18 raw, raunchy R&B and jump blues records from the likes of Moose Jackson, Dinah Washington, the Five Royales, Billy Ward & the Dominoes, Wynonie Harris, Roy Brown, and the Swallows. It's remarkable how explicit these double-entrendre-laced singles were, but what really makes Risque Rhythm worth acquiring is ...

Dinah Jams (1954) more music like this

by Dinah Washington

Recorded at the start of Dinah Washington's climb to fame, 1954's Dinah Jams was taped live in front of a studio audience in Los Angeles. While Washington is in top form throughout, effortlessly working her powerful, blues-based voice on both ballads and swingers, the cast of star soloists almost steals the show. In addition to drummer Max Roach, ...

Verve Remixed (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

More than ten years on from the first whisperings of a dance revolution, there are scores of solid producers in the scene, figures with all the talent, historical knowledge, and judgment necessary to rework most any tracks from the Verve archive. Surprisingly, Verve Remixed strays from the label's crossover-heavy '60s and '70s material (the ...

The Essential Dinah Washington: The Great Songs (1992) more music like this

by Dinah Washington

Dinah Washington recorded a stunning amount of material in her too-short career (when she died in Detroit in 1963 she was only 39 years old), most of it during her lengthy association with Mercury Records between 1948 and 1955, the era covered by this single-disc retrospective. Washington seemingly tackled everything under the sun in the recording ...

Any self-respecting jazz musician would leap at the chance to record an afterhours session with Dinah Washington.
