Charmain Singer

Part of being a singer is spontaneously breaking out into song for no reason at all at home/in the car - it’s where we get most of our ideas for songs! I couldn’t get this one out of my head since I added it to my reel the other day so thought I’d give a sneaky glimpse behind the scenes of a singers day to day …

A quick belt of Portishead - Glory box - and I was relaxed for the rest of the afternoon - singing is good for the soul - belt it out and be free 🎶

Who doesn’t love the sound of a sexy sax in a song - this one has me vibing every time - Dusty Springfields ‘Spooky’ 👻

Released in 1968 it was never meant to be a lyrical song - written for sax alone originally. For my millennials you might recognise it from that famous Guy Ritchie movie ‘Lock Stock and two smoking barrels’… this song always gets the toes tapping in the audience

Brought to you 🖤 - Lincoln Jazz Cafe on Fri 21st August

Giving you the full version of ‘what a difference a day makes’ by Dinah Washington, a true jazz diva who recorded this song in 1959.

What I only recently learned though was that this song was originally a classical Spanish song and was written in 1934 by Maria Grever. I even found the original on Spotify - it’s called “Cuando vuelva a tu lado”
