"Soulville" by Dinah Washington

Born Ruth Lee Jones, Dinah Washington is one of the legends of jazz and blues. Her stunning voice sang a ton of material during her all-too-brief life, which came to a tragic end in 1963 at the age of 39 following an overdose.

Washington was singing in various outlets since the 40s, but had an impressive run on the pop charts starting in 1958 when "What A Diff'rence A Day Makes" peaked at #8 and won a Grammy for R&B Record. She followed it up with her version of "Unforgettable," which landed at #17. Both singles are in the Grammy Hall of Fame.

Washington landed two additional Top 10 hits, both with Brook Benton. "Baby (You've Got What It Takes)" and "A Rockin' Good Way (To Mess Around And Fall In Love)," which reached #5 and #7, respectively. During her hey day, Washington racked up additional Grammy winners and R&R Hall of Famers that didn't chart, like "Am I Asking Too Much," "TV Is The Thing (This Year)," and "Teach Me Tonight." She herself was inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame in 1993.

The brilliant "Soulville" has the distinction of being her final chart appearance, only reaching #92 in 1963, the year Washington's voice left us mortals.
