Absolutely rolling laughing at your reactions. You've cheered me up good and proper. X
Glad you enjoyed
Hey Shawn and Mel! This was recorded back in 1940 and as you noted was more than suggestive😂 There were a lot of songs back then that were equally 'suggestive'. I cracked up when ya'll realized what she was really saying😄 Here's a couple of songs from Dinah Washington that were big hits. What a Difference a Day Makes and This Bitter Earth. You will absolutely love them❤ Good to see you!
1949, actually.
Her version of "Unforgettable" is on a par with Nat King Cole.
@@ronaldstokes4841 actually I think she does it a little better
Dinah Washington was a force to be reckoned with in her days. Her name is pronounce Dine- nah Washington.
Dine-nuh, not Dine-nah
Dinah is one of my all time fav singers - one of the all time greats
Yes.
Pronounced Dine'Ah Washington and she is legendary. 🎶🎙She is one of the great's that we must not forget and its nice to see her rediscovered here on CZcams ❣🙌
Somebody needs to make a film of her life because she lived hard, died young, and left an amazing legacy. I've always thought Fantasia has a lot of the same vocal qualities as Ms Washington and as long as she'd keep her growling tamed, she'd be great--they even look similar. (Listen to her live version of "Come Rain or Come Shine" on her Dinah Jams! recording.....one of my favorites)
Omg...You guys have me laughing out of my chair! The dentist will never be the same! 😆❤
Omg 😂😂 i Need to go at thursday and now im really scared, but Not from the Pain 😂👌
Sorry for the Bad english
I just love double entendres! I have a collection of “dirty blues”. I’ll have to review the songs and send you some suggestions.
I can tell you guys have no idea how great Dinah Washington really is. She can break your heart with songs like, I'll be around, or this Bitter earth. Listen to Madd about the Boy, and Unforgettable, Drinking again. There are hundreds of songs you should hear. Thanks for the video.
"Dine-uh" Washington is one of my favorite Jazz artists! "Soft Winds" is a beautiful song to listen to!
Hello my favorite couple 🤣🤣🤣Dinah is singing exactly what you thinking. Spicy, spicy🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶
Dinah (pronounced Dye-nah) Washington is my favorite female jazz singer. Her CD "For Those in Love" is one of my treasures. I hope you'll be able to react to "Blue Gardenia" and/or "You Don't Know What Love Is." Both of them are 💔💔😭😭😭. Her interpretations are mind-blowing. As I understand it, she was quite the Diva to deal with... As to these suggestive lyrics ~ LOL. I hadn't heard this one before!! I loved seeing you guys in shock!
Back in the early '70s I thought I'd educate myself a little and I took a Bessie Smith album out of the library. I was a young woman and I happened to have a male friend (JUST a friend,) visiting my apt when I put it on the record player. Then came the lyrics... "I need a little sugar in my bowl. I need a little hot dog in my roll." 😳 I was SO embarrassed!!! (And I know he was, too.) Instead of snatching it off the record player, I tried to just sit there as if nothing was weird. 😂😂🤣
An amazing singer and this sort of double entendre song was not as uncommon as you would think at the time. The Andrews Sisters had a huge hit with the song "Rum and Coca-Cola" which listened to from a certain perspective has heavy allusions to prostitution but in the more innocent time it was produced wasn't necessarily seen that way.
A small note-Dinah isn't pronounced De-na but Die-na.
Dinah Washington was an American singer & pianist from the 40's-60's. She covered many genres including jazz, blues, R&B, & traditional pop music. She had a lot of great songs such as "Ain't Misbehavin'", "Am I Asking Too Much", "Baby Get Lost", "I Wanna Be Loved", "Cold, Cold Heart", "Unforgettable", and then two highly successful duets in 1960 with Brook Benton, "Baby (You've Got What It Takes)"& "A Rockin' Good Way (To Mess Around & Fall in Love)". Her last big hit was "September in the Rain" in 1961
This was recorded in 1948 and released in 1949. Dinah would gave been 15 in 1940, turning 16.
My Mom...RIH " MAMA CORA LOVED AND PLAYED SIS DAMN NEAR EVERY DAY. "WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES "! MISS YOU TOO MUCH MAMA, SIS, MRS., LADY .. WE WILL ALWAYS BB E ONE
Grew up north of Detroit 35mis. Ms Washington( DI-nah) was married to Pro football great Dick "Night Tain" Lane then. My dad said the first song from the radio I learned to sing was her "Blow Tops Blues", which was funny coming from a blonde hair bule eye child of the 50's, Listen to her "pop hit " What a difference a day makes" Beautiful song.
Okay...Bessie Smith & Ma Rainey were singing songs like this at the beginning of the 20th century.
Grew up listening to Dinah! My parents and grown up relatives played it all the time especially at family parties!
It is “Die-na”. She used to say “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks; get a new dog.” She had 5 or 6 husbands.
I laughed so hard I was crying when I watched your reaction. You need to go back and listen to some of the classic female blues singers from the 1920s and 1930s. The sound quality wasn’t very good, but the music was great. Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, Ida Cox, Alberta Hunter, Victoria Spivey, Sippie Wallace to name a few. They sang songs that were as raunchy as some of the stuff today, they just did with class. It was called double entendre. A phrase with double meaning. Dinah Washington also recorded an album called Dinah Washington The Bessie Smith Song Book that is fabulous.
Dinah Washington and Brook Benton ( Baby You got what it takes) fantastic duo.👵👵❤️❤️
Lots of old blues and jazz songs are like this. Organ Grinder Blues, Five Or Six Times, It Ain’t The Meat, It’s The Motion, and on and on.
OMG you guys! Yes, she was sayin' it. And the moment you figured it out is priceless~!! This is called a "double entendre". You might check out "Big Rear Window" by Phillip Walker. Thanks for visiting these songs, or as I like to call them, "my old friends."
Absolutely loved y'all reaction ...🤣
The innuendo, and suggestive nature of the song...I must be dirty old man too. Lol
I have never heard a song about a Dentist before. I've been educated!!! Lol I have to say, I think we have all had a shady dentist.
In the Early days of R&B it was called Risque Rhythm. These Records wasn't played on the air.
Nice to see you 2, back and at it. Bette Midler brought these old song into the future, there's a great live version by her on CZcams.
You two are crazy Funny ! Lol
OMG, you’re reacting to Dinah! One of all time favorite jazz-blues vocalists of the 1940’s-50s! I have many CDs of her music. Beautiful! Yes, the song is risqué. So what. I guess it’s a big deal to the snowflakes this country has been dominated by in recent years. Pathetic. Puritanical America.
P.S. - pronounced “Die Nuh”
In case you didn’t know, sexual innuendos in the blues goes way way back. The term rock n’ roll is blues slang for sex. Some blues lyrics nclude “rocking all night long” or “roll me like my back ain’t got no bone” or “roll me like your grandma used to roll her biscuit dough”
The genre rock and roll got it’s name and start from the blues.
The look you two gave each other at 2:31 was priceless!
Am laughing so much at y’all reactions am crying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dinah Washington was well known for one takes while recording. If a musician screwed up, she'd get pretty angry. Great voice!
Dinah is fabulous! For some more jazz/blues double entendres try listening to Alberta Hunter sing My Handy Man. Popular in the 1930s, Alberta Hunter left music to become a nurse for 30 years. She had a revival period when she was rediscovered around 1980. She sang some of her old songs then, while in her 70s, and she’s amazing. Such fun and joy in her singing, especially when she gets close to the edge and has a mischievous look!
Dinah Washington was smart, sassy, soulful, and superb. Her name is pronounced DY-nah as in mynah (bird).
Aww, the dirty dirty!!! I love y'all wake up!!! Vincent that's a big YES!!!
What fun! Sometimes it can be more effective by being more evocative, suggestive, imaginative, than laying it all out plain...like so much popular music today seems to traffic in. For a more contemplative side of Ms. Washington, in a collaboration with composer Max Richter and some lovely dancers, you might like
"This Bitter Earth/On the Nature of Daylight": czcams.com/video/iDyPERLVgJA/video.html
Too funny, but you should also check out Dinah Washington Big Long Sliding' Thing. Classic 😀
Great reaction guys! It was quite suggestive... I think her mind was in the gutter LOL... Hello from Cody Wyoming by the way🤠
This my friends is what a metaphor is….!!!
She is then step mother of a buddy of mine. I do know that she did have some dirty songs back in the day.
Man I thought I was older and I heard some things and knew a lot of music but y'all keep exposing me to sounds I never heard before! Hehe. 👍👍👍
your reactions were priceless. 🤣
Well they wasn't always grandma and grandpa 😊
Dinah did a duet with Brooke Benton in the early '60s called You've Got What It Takes and it's infamous for what happens in the middle of the song. Brooke apparently overstepped on her turn to sing a line and her reaction was one of annoyence. It's a flub left in the recording in the song.
It is said they never liked eachother and were reluctant collaboraters on the song
Nice to see you back S&M…
Hey OG Mike, thank you fam. We're so happy to be back. We missed reacting.
OMG!! Dinah Washington long john blues WOW!!! cool song. might like- aerosmith-big ten inch. awesome reaction S&M have a great day.
Dinah Washington version of song ITS TOO SOON TO KNOW song considered by some to be FIRST ROCK AND ROLL RECORD Is Awesome !!!
😎💜😎💜😎💜
I watched this and I’m hooked on you guys lol 😂 you made my day !!! God bless Miss Washington…
The correct pronunciation is DYna.😊
This the blues and the usually is freaky 😂
Obviously the two of you lol got message just right ms. WASHINGTON ALBUM Smile is there for a Reason. 😉
One of the iconic vocal song stylists from the classic jazz era & of American music: Dinah Washington, pronounced Dye - nuh. It’s important to get that right. You can believe that any soul or soulful singer among the r&b or blues divas have listened, studied, or admired this queen. This would include: Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, Gladys Knight, Tina Turner, the late Tami Terrell, late Janis Joplin, Nathalie Cole, Koko Taylor & any woman since the 50’s, 60’s or 70’s who sang the blues. I’m sure Erika Bahdu & Mary J have put a listen in as well. Ms. Dinah didn’t did accomplish quite a bit in her releatively short life between recordings, performances & marriages. Fun reaction, but let’s get her name pronounced. 👍🏾
Dinah Washington a total favourite of mine! ‘What A Difference A Day Makes’ is my absolute fav!! There were many risqué tunes esp out of the 40’s $ 50’s 😁❤️🔥🔥 !!
I think I saw Shawn blush! You guys are so fun! Thx!
This is so great!
D-eye-nah .is the QUEEN!!!!!
Dinah was everything. That woman told it. My favorite!
Dinah Washington was a great singer and had a very interesting life and career
I love your reactions😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣love it.
lol this type of music is called the Dirty Blues check out Julia Lee "my man stands out" "king sized Pappa"
♥️ I recommended this a loong time ago, glad it made the play 🙌
Sophie Tucker was another singer who did a lot of what was called "blue" material. Check out her "Last of the Red Hot Mamas" and "I Live Alone and I Like It"
You guys are the best. Ya'll bring me joy for real
That was Amazing
Bobby blue Bland will be good blues singer is really freaky. I hope you can explore the blues now
Love dinah what a voice. And a sense of humour ;)
Nothing like the low-down, dirty blues. Jelly Roll Morton's music is outrageous!
This is just a great song.
Oh that was nice
🎶🎶🔥🔥🔥🔥🎶💯
Now you’re into the deep Diva. Amazing voice, rough life. Chicago’s own.
Oh my word yall
😄😄😄😄😄 ❤❤❤❤❤

64 yr old BOOMER Here, why does it surprise you what she singing about? Yes we had very racy Records back then. And trust this is not the nastiest. What about Suge from the original Color Purple. Listen babies, we had dances and reefer and bath tub gin back then😊
