Dinah Washington – What A Diff’rence A Day Makes! – Vinyl LP

High Quality

“What A Diff’rence A Day Makes!” originally released in 1959 on Mercury Records, marked a turning point in the career of singer Dinah Washington.

Produced by Clyde Otis and arranged by Belford Hendricks, the album earned her a Grammy Award and stands for her successful crossover of the blues-influenced jazz style into the world of the lush, orchestral pop mainstream. The theme song, originally written in Spanish in the 1930s and popularized in English by other female singers, became Washington’s signature song. The album strikes a balance between Washington’s impressive vocal presence and refined arrangements that combine strings, rhythm group and delicate brass. Titles like “Cry Me a River,” “Manhattan” and “Time After Time” show their ability to convey emotional nuances and rhythmic phrasings precisely and effortlessly. The result is a seamless fusion of jazz tradition and contemporary production that Washington established as one of the most versatile and expressive singers of its time.
