Released on February 18, 1964, by Columbia Records, The album is a tribute dedicated to the recently deceased singer Dinah Washington. The sessions were recorded in New York. A few tunes were cut with strings in order to bring out the essential ballad character of the songs (with the help of Bob Mersey's arranging); most of the tracks, though, were made with the assistance of a small and sympathetic accompanying group for which Mersey supplied minimal written guidance. Release"I first heard Dinah when I was just a kid," said Aretha, "back around the time she made 'Fat Daddy.' I never got to know her personally in those days, though she and my father were good friends. "The idea of recording a tribute to her grew out of the way I've always felt about her. I didn't try to do the songs the same way she did them, necessarily - just the way they felt best, whether they happened to be similar or different." Reception{{Album ratings| rev1 = Allmusic | rev1Score = {{Rating|4.5|5}} [{{Allmusic|class=album|id=r69018|pure_url=yes}} link] }} In January 1995, John Snyder, the producer of the reissue, said: "...This is a very soulful record, a record of inspired singing by one of the great voices of our time. That makes it a 'must-have' and a record that is once again 'current.' It's that kind of work: Ms. Franklin's performance makes it timeless. Many of the songs, you may recognize, are her current hits." Track listingSide One
