Summertime is a perfect time to pay tribute to Dinah Washington and Lil Phillips is the perfect person to present that tribute.
Ms Phillips, who is special to Sistas' Place, has a very strong connection to Ms Washington.
Besides the fact that both of them were born on the 29th of their respective months, Lil in March and Dinah Washington in August, they also share an unmistakable style that is rooted in the Blues. Dinah Washington is called the "Queen of the Blues" and one can readily hear how Lil Phillips has molded the influence of that legend to create a world class voice of her own.
Hear Lil Phillips, read more about her and buy her new album!
