Dinah Washington
Dinah Washington (born Ruth Lee Jones, 1924-1963) was a versatile American jazz, blues, R&B, and pop singer, dubbed the "Queen of the Blues," renowned for her powerful voice and gospel-influenced delivery. Starting in Chicago church choirs, she rose through the music scene, joining Lionel Hampton's band before a highly successful solo career, scoring numerous R&B hits and pop crossovers like "What a Diff'rence a Day Makes". Her life was marked by a tumultuous personal life, including seven marriages, and she died at 39 from an accidental overdose, later posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
