Music reviews of I've Got a Feeling
Music Review: Oh, Baby! Rhythm & Blues to Soul
Rating: 3 Stars
One reason Justine "Baby" Washington (aka Jeanette Washington) is notable is because of the often-referenced comment by British singer Dusty Springfield that Washington was one of her favorite singers (Springfield covered two of her songs). Other than that, she has been relegated to the margins of music history. I consider myself a Soul Diva aficionado and I had never heard of her.
I GOT A FEELING...THE BEST OF consists of 28 songs, recorded 1962-1969 on Sue and Veep labels, in semi-chronological order. Disc packaged in white standard jewel case; total running time: 72:19. Booklet includes an essay by Wyndham Wallace, track information, and several photographs. The sound quality is good.
Tracks 1-9, 12, and 13 are from 1962-1963 (the majority from the 1963 "That's How Heartaches Are Made" LP). Tracks 10, 11, and 14 are from 1965. Tracks 15-28 are from 1968-1969 (the majority from the 1968 "With You in Mind" LP). There is a mark-ed difference between the early 60s and late 60s recordings. The earlier recordings are Rhythm & Blues records, in the tradition of Ruth Brown, or an updated LaVern Baker. The later recordings (starting with track 17, the funky "All Around the World") transition into Soul music.
Baby Washington's early hits (recorded after leaving the group The Hearts), 1959's "The Bells (On Our Wedding Day)", "The Time", and 1961's "Nobody Cares (About Me)", are not included in this compilation. If this collection was more comprehensive, I'd give it 4 stars.
I could compare her voice to LaVern Baker, but the best comparison I can make may be considered an odd one: Jenifer Lewis. Baby Washington's voice is very strong, almost authoritative. And it is similar to that of Jenifer Lewis, the actor known for playing "everybody's mama" (from Tupac Shakur's in "Poetic Justice" to Angela Bassett's in "What's Love Got to Do With It") in films, as well as appearances in "Madea's Family Reunion", "Mystery Men", "Sister Act", and starring as the fictional singer Jackie Washington in the satirical comedy mockumentary "Jackie's Back!". As a singer she has sung backup as a Harlette for Bette Midler and performed her composition "Black Don't Crack" on Rosie O'Donnell's talkshow.
Don't expect any Jazz recordings - "I Got It Bad and That Ain't Good" is an up-tempo Soul version of the Duke Ellington classic. Her rendition of the ballad "At Last" is done similarly to Etta James's version. Three songs are composed by Washington herself (tracks 6-8). Overall, the collection is a mix of ballads and up-tempo songs. And, overall, it is very enjoyable.
