Dinah Washington had 47 songs on the R&B charts between 1944 and 1961, including "What a Difference a Day Makes," which crossed over to the pop charts. Here she is singing "All of Me" at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival, accompanied by Don Elliott, mellophone; Urbie Green, trombone; Terry Gibbs, vibes; Wynton Kelly, piano; Paul West, bass; and Max Roach, drums. The clip is from the film Jazz on a Summer's Day, which spends a lot of time on audience reaction shots.
