Launch

“I first heard Dinah after I was only a child,” mentioned Franklin, “again across the time she made ‘Fats Daddy.’
I by no means received to know her personally in these days, although she and my father have been good associates. The thought of recording a tribute to her grew out of the best way I’ve all the time felt about her. I did not attempt to do the songs the identical approach she did them, essentially – simply the best way they felt greatest, whether or not they occurred to be related or completely different.”

In January 1995, John Snyder, the producer of the reissue, mentioned: “…This can be a very soulful file, a file of impressed singing by one of many nice voices of our time. That makes it a ‘must-have’ and a file that’s as soon as once more ‘present.’ It is that type of work: Ms. Franklin’s efficiency makes it timeless. Most of the songs, it’s possible you’ll acknowledge, are her present hits.”
