Dinah! is a 1956 album by blues, R&B and jazz singer Dinah Washington released on the Emarcy label. The album includes a mix of jazz, popular and blues standards of the period, all selected to emphasize the vocalist's style. Allmusic details the album in its review as saying: "Dinah! includes a very enjoyable mix of medium-tempo and after-hours vocal numbers. On a handful of cuts, Washington gets into the kind of smoldering and declamatory blues mode she excelled at.".[2] The single "Make Me a Present of You" peaked at #27 on the Billboard US R&B chart in 1958.[3]
