Dinah Washington was the Queen. My mother introduced her to songs when I was young. I am 70 and have been listening to her for 65 years. I love her. Sometimes I cry listening to her. What a voice. A treasure.

This footage is invaluable to those that know and love Miss D: from a musical perspective, notice how she was able to glide from her newfound pop success with her big hit record, What a Diff'rence a Day Makes" to her more comfortable jazz roots with "Makin' Whoopee!" And to have her Mercury Records labelmate, the great Louis Jordan doing romantic horn obligatos behind Dinah while leadint a swinging band. How cool is that?

This is just wonderful, because of Louis and Dinah and interesting, because of Ronald Reagan's hosting the scene at, of all places, the Apollo Theater in Harlem. It feels kind of "so far, yet so near." And Dinah Washington with the Louis Jordan Orchestra was just sublime! Thank you for this rare performance!

Louie and Ronny are done before the end of 'I Could be Wrong." The stage manager cues Louie at the last 8 of the tune and Louie's off to the races. He was a real pro. And he grabs Dinah's hand as she get's to center stage. They had class back then.
