Dinah Washington avled endast 39 år gammal (då hade hon varit gift 8 gånger!) i Detroit på min födelsedag år 1963.
Förra årets döptes "Dinah Washington Avenue" i  Tuscaloosa (jag har kollat stavningen) i Alabama.
Hon finns också på ett frimärke.


"What A Difference A Day Makes"
Av mexikanskan María Grever och amerikanen Stanley Adams.
(Googla 'maria grever' och se att hon var en storhet inom populärmusiken)

What a difference a day makes
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain
My yesterday was blue, dear
Today I'm a part of you, dear

My lonely nights are through, dear
Since you said you were mine
What a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss
It's heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you
What a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss
It's heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you
