Esther Phillips [1975] - What A Diff'rence A Day Makes [Kudu #KU-925 F]


I couldn't resist the title of this song as we were sweltering in 39C heat here yesterday and today it's a more bearable 22C. Thankfully, touch wood, the desktop is holding up as the laptop was unbearably slow making creating posts absolute purgatory!

I did have a much better laptop and that gave up the ghost only a couple of weeks ago with the graphics chip overheating (unrepairable!). With that, and two hard drive failures only last week, and the desktop playing up in the last few days, I'm beginning to think I must be in the middle of the 'twilight zone'!

Anyway, What A Diff'rence A Day Makes! ... is a jazz song written in 1934 by Mexican songwriter María Grever with the title "Cuando vuelva a tu lado" ("When I Return to Your Side")  and recorded by many including Dinah Washington. An update by Esther Phillips was one of those new releases that got played on the Northern Soul scene back in 1975 from where the term Modern Soul was coined.
