"Queen is the biography of the brief, intensely lived life and soulful music of the great Dinah Washington." "A gospel star at fifteen, she was discovered by jazz great Lionel Hampton at eighteen, and for the rest of her life was on the road, playing clubs or singing in the studio - making music one way or another." "Dinah's tart and heartfelt voice quickly became her trademark; she was a distinctive stylist, crossing over from the "race" music category to the pop and the jazz charts. Known in her day as Queen of the Blues and Queen of the Juke Boxes, Dinah was regarded as that rare "first take" artist, her studio recordings reflecting the same passionate energy she brought to the stage. As Nadine Cohodas shows us, Dinah suffered her share of heartbreak in her personal life, but she thrived on the growing audience response that greeted her signature tunes: "What a Diff'rence a Day Makes," "Evil Gal Blues," and "Baby (You've Got What it Takes)," with Brook Benton. She made every song she sang her own." "Dinah lived large, with her seven marriages: her penchant for clothes, cars, furs, and diets: and her famously feisty personality - testy one moment and generous the next. This biography is the first to draw on extensive interviews with family members and newly discovered documents."--Jacket.… (mehr)
