WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MADE - 2/1 : Original & Remade






Dinah Washington 1924-1963
五十年代美國樂壇最受歡迎的黑人女歌手, 被譽 "藍調怨曲皇后 Queen of the Blues"。自幼參加教堂詩歌班和司琴, 十五歲鸁得歌唱比賽後, 開始其演藝職業。她終年衹有三十九歲, 在短暫一生的歌唱事業, 所獲奬歌曲衹有一首。



"Grammy Awards 格蘭美獎"
1959年剛成立時, 同一年內舉辦了兩次頒獎盛會, 就是首屆在五月和第二屆在十一月 (1960年沒有舉辦); Dinah Washington 以一曲 "What a Diff'rence a Day Makes" 奪得被提名在第二屆 "Best Rhythm and Blues Performance 最佳藍調節奏演譯" 獎項。至1998年, 此曲再被追封, 登上 "Grammy Hall of Fame 格蘭美名人殿堂", 列入"Traditional Pop 傳統流行歌曲" 名册中。


"What A Difference A Day Makes" - Dinah Washington 1959
Music : Maria Grever
Lyrics : Stanley Adams

What a diff'rence a day made
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain

My yesterday was blue, dear
Today I'm part of you, dear
My lonely nights are through, dear
Since you said you were mine

What a diff'rence a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss

That thrilling kiss
It's heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a diff'rence a day made
And the difference is you

原是1934年西班牙語歌曲 "Cuando vuelva a tu lado" 墨西哥曲詞家 María Grever 的作品; 同年由 Stanley Adams 另撰上英文歌詞後, 翻唱的版本近百首, 純音樂以不同節奏和格調亦有幾十首, 芬蘭語版本 "Päivä kaunein on tullut"。最為樂迷認識是 Dinah Washington 的演譯, 之後在一些電影中亦出現過; 而之前不同歌手的版本, 多被她獲獎後的光芒所掩蓋, 此曲亦成了她的 "Signature Song 招牌歌曲"。
