September In The Rain-Dinah Washington The leaves of brown came tumblin' down, remember In September in the rain The sun went out just like a dying ember That September in the rain To every word of love I heard you whisper The raindrops seemed to play a sweet refrain Though spring is here, to me it's still September That September in the rain 還記得那個細雨綿綿的九月嗎 落葉紛飛 暖陽乍現 聽著你的甜言蜜語 飄落雨滴彷彿也輕聲唱和 儘管已是早春時分 在我心中 永遠停留在那個 細雨綿綿的九月 less

"What a Difference a Day Made" is a popular song originally written in Spanish by María Méndez Grever (a.k.a. María Grever), a Mexican composer, in 1934. Originally, the song was known as "Cuando Vuelva A Tu Lado". The English lyrics were written by Stanley Adams, made famous by Harry Roy & his Orchestra. It was published in late 1934. The song is in the Bolero romantic style and it is also known as "What a Difference a Day Makes". This song is one of the most popular boleros of all time. Dinah Washington won Grammy Award in 1959 for Best Rhythm and Blues Performance with this song, and her version was also inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998.[1] It has also been recorded by Diana Ross in her Blue album 2006, Sarah Vaughan, Renee Olstead, Eydie Gorme in 1964 album titled Eydie Gorme canta en español con Los Panchos, Luis Miguel in his Romance album 1991, etc. Jamie Cullum's 2003 debut album, twentysomething, also features a remake of this song. In 2007 R&B/Dance singer Deborah Cox made a remake of this song on her album Destination Moon. Also in 2007, Peter Criss covered the song on his album One For All. less

THE QUEEN Dinah Washington sings. Dinah Washington was born August 29, 1924. She was an African-American blues singer noted for excellent voice control and her unique gospel-influenced delivery. From Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Ruth Lee Jones (original name), moved with her family to Chicago as a child. She sang in and played the piano for her church choir and in 1939 began to sing and play piano in various Chicago nightclubs, in addition to touring with Sallie Martin's gospel group. About 1942-43 she adopted the stage name Dinah Washington. From 1943 to 1946 she sang with the Lionel Hampton band and in 1946 began a successful solo career. During the period from 1949 to 1955, her recordings were consistently among the top ten hits of the rhythm-and-blues charts. Even after she crossed over to the popular (pop) music market, in which she had her greatest commercial success, Washington retained many of her earlier fans because of her passionate, supple style. Often referred too as Queen of The Blues, she died Dec. 14, 1963 in Detroit, Michigan. less
