QUEEN(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　“The Queen: God bless her. Anyone who loved Dinah Washington
as I did will appreciate this book by Nadine Cohodas, which
beautifully documents the joys and sorrows of the life of this lady
who was a peer of her contemporaries Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah
Vaughan, and Billie Holliday.”
　　–George Wein, author of Myself Among Others and founder of the
Newport Jazz Festival
　　“Dinah Washington died at thirty-nine, but packed so much life
and incident into every moment it’s a wonder that Nadine Cohodas
could sort it out; the marital adventures alone might have daunted
a less avid biographer. Nor does she slight her music. Dinah could
make every kind of song vital and personal, no matter the
context–jazz, blues, swing, pop, r&b, or r&r. Cohodas
captures the Queen in all her obstinate spitfire glory.”
　　–Gary Giddins, author of Weather Bird and Bing Crosby: A
Pocketful of Dreams

　　Nadine Cohodas is the author of Strom Thurmond and the
Politics of Southern Change, The Band Played Dixie: Race and the
Liberal Conscience at Ole Miss, and Spinning Blues into
Gold: The Chess Brothers and the Legendary Chess Records, which
was a New York Times Notable Book of 2000 and inducted into
the Blues Hall of Fame in 2002 as a classic of blues literature.
She lives in Washington, D.C.
