Title: Versatile Dinah
Review: This CD has something for everyone. Dinah changed and evolved as a singer thru the years (some critics accuse her for "selling out" to pop) and her voice grew rich and soulful as well. There's the early Dinah from the mid to late 40s with songs such as "Long John Blues" "Slick Chick on Mellow Side" where she's only backed by a trio and guitar. Record company did a good job restoring sound quality on the earlier recordings. You can hear Dinah's voice mature thru the years. As the years go by you can hear the different accompanists---orchestra, strings and violins---it all shows how comfortable Dinah was in each and every musical setting. The later pop smashes are here too "What A Difference A Day Makes" "This Bitter Earth" "Unforgettable". She truly was unique and versatile. No wonder she boasted to the public "I can sing anything, anything at all..." She wasn't boasting at all. Sound quality is very good to excellent.
