Dinah Washington - Unforgettable (MG-20572)

Artist: Dinah Washington
Title: Unforgettable
Catalog #: MG-20572
Label: Mercury Records
Year: 1961
Format: LP
Condition: VG+

A tribute to Dinah Washington's peer and fellow Mercury artist Nat King Cole, Unforgettable is one of the most emotionally resonant albums in her catalog. Washington brings her full interpretive authority to Cole's signature repertoire — the title track, Mona Lisa, Too Young — and the result is a record that honors the source material while remaining unmistakably hers. Few vocalists could have pulled off the comparison; Washington doesn't just survive it, she elevates it. This VG+ mono Mercury pressing plays cleanly — an essential piece for the jazz vocal collector and one of the finer titles in Washington's Mercury run.
