Unforgettable: A Tribute to Dinah Washington
Unforgettable: A Tribute to Dinah Washington is the fifth studio albumby American singer Aretha Franklin. 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.

It’s a chance to hear Aretha in development, and some of the tunes are great enough to make you forget that she still hadn’t reached her peak.

Review Year: 2018 In contrast Franklin grasped the longing in the lyrics, the song and added a bit more sultriness than what was hinted in Washington’s original.
