++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Dinah Washington (29 August 1924 – 14 December 1963) was an American singer and pianist.
Paraphrase
Her voice was mid-century modern — sleek and bright and suffused in light — with lots of clean, hard surfaces. – Gwen Thompkins, “Forebears: The Mercurial And Majestic Dinah Washington,” npr.org
Dinah Washington (Ruth Lee Jones)
Sang in her distinctive tones,
With surfaces so hard and clean
They had a bright mid-century sheen.
