Dinah Sings Bessie Smith

Album by Dinah Washington

Dinah Sings Bessie Smith is a studio album by American singer Dinah Washington, released in 1956. The album is rooted in blues and jazz, with arrangements that frame Washington's clear, emotive vocals over small-group accompaniment, and it was issued in the mid-1950s as she broadened her repertoire from traditional blues towards a wider jazz and pop audience.
