Dinah Washington Interview, 1961

Dinah Washington came to Vancouver in 1961 to appear at the Cave Theatre Restaurant. She had the air of a major movie star and loved to flash her expensive jewelry. Cave owner Ken Stauffer and I showed up at Vancouver International Airport for what was probably my most difficult interview. I don't know what was bothering her that day, but you can hear the result for yourself! She went on to do a series of great shows at the Cave. A temperamental star, but there is no questioning her amazing talent.
