Ledisi’s love for classic songs and legendary singers knows no bounds. The Grammy-winning vocalist celebrated the catalog of Nina Simone in 2021, and now the powerhouse pays tribute to Dinah Washington.
In her upcoming album For Dinah, Ledisi honors the legendary blues and jazz singer saying, “She gave me permission to move freely, create freely, be a woman in leadership, wear and say what I want.”
Raised in Alabama, Washington sang the blues and jazz with the same charm she brought to pop. Ledisi brings a similar versatility to work across genres, leading John Legend to call her “one of the greatest singers in the world, period.”
