Dinah! is a fourth studio 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.
— Stephen Cook, All Music Guide [2]
The single "Make Me a Present of You" peaked at #27 on the Billboard Hot R&B Sides chart in 1958. [4] [1]
