Dinah was born Ruth Lee Jones at Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

She learned Piano from her mother and learned to sing 

in her church Choir.

She began singing in Clubs at the age of 15. She needed to change

 her name and her age… so she became Dinah Washington age 21.

Dinah’s life was not easy… making too many mistakes with her personal life.

Dinah had trouble with her weight and insomnia for which she was on

prescribed medicine. 

She passed away in her sleep after taking her

prescribed Medicine… at age 39.

A sad ending to a beautiful voice.

“These Foolish Things“ is such a romantic song. I hope you enjoy it.

You can waltz with your loved one…I am sure that you will.

I would suggest that you pick up some of her albums or at least a

Greatest Hit album.

Enjoy
