What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

DINAH WASHINGTON & BROOK BENTON "two of us" cd,1960.

got this as part of a 2cd pack,the other album is "what a difference a day makes" from 1959.
always loved Dinah's voice but some of her songs are simply terrible...even her voice cant make me like them!
this one, however, is recorded with another vocalist i love in Brook Benton...same thing with him also,great voice but a hell of alot of crappy songs IMO.
this one does make the pass mark for me but only just...had i scored it solely on their vocals it would almost certainly get a near perfect score from me.
a couple of hits off this one in "baby you got what it takes" and "rockin' good way"...but dont expect the rest of the album to be as upbeat and catchy as those two tracks...its more mellowed and sleepy sounding.
had the Rockin' Good Way song had come up as by Shakin' Stevens & Bonnie Tyler it would have scored *** and not **
