4 out of 5 stars Dinah and Brook CD.......2007-01-21

I was familiar with the album because I had it once before, so I was happy to find it on CD. Delivery was prompt and the liner notes told me things I did'nt know!

5 out of 5 stars Dynamic combination.......2007-01-09

These 2 "greats" are a perfect combination...wonderful voices and great songs. They sound like they are having fun which somehow or other they are able to share with the listener. Fantastic value.

5 out of 5 stars Honey Confection of the Highest Order.......2001-02-02

I am floored everytime I hear the two rollin' pop hits by Dinah and Brook together ("You've Got What It Takes" and "Rockin' Good Way to Fall in Love")---this is pure pop heaven!! I just love rolling down the windows and blasting these two songs in my car on a summer day. Dinah and Brook seem to have really good chemistry together, that is, until you read what REALLY happened in the studio according to the liner notes, but they complement each other well on this CD. His mellow, smooth baritone just hits the spot in contrast to the emotional, dramatic vocals of Dinah. One wishes they had done more duets together. There are some nice individual songs by each on the CD. Dinah really tears at your heartstrings with her achy-breaky version of "Love Walked In". And if that's not enough to get the tear ducts workin', she lays it on with "There Goes My Heart"---a heartbreaker!! She does these songs in the emotional vein that only she knew how. Brook shines equally with his warm, honey-soaked voice. He really could've given Nat King Cole a run for his money. This is a must have for any Dinah Washington fan and you're in for a bonus to hear Brook as well if you haven't already.

5 out of 5 stars one of truly great soul albums of the 60's.......2000-12-12

In the summer of 1960 there was Brook and Dinah with their sweet, swinging soul duets "Baby, youýve got what it takes" and "A rockinýgood way" inching their way towards the #1 position occupied by Everly Brothers. Many of the records from that era sound dated today, but this album is immortal. Listen to Brook on "Call me", like honey poured over silk, it is. Or the two of them on "I do". Makes you wanna call that girl from long ago right away again. Buy this record, you wonýt regret it!

5 out of 5 stars Back to Real Voices.......2000-05-11

The combination of Brook Benton and Dinah Washington is overpowering. When they do "Baby, You Got What it Takes" I relive an era that has past us but is still alive with their breathtaking recordings. They are right in the area with Sarah Vaugh, Etta James, Ben E. King and I do not know who at the momemt! These are two all time greats!
