Notes

.A four-CD box set containing 107 tracks, The Fabulous Miss D! The Keynote, Decca and Mercury Singles 1943-1953 traces the first decade of Dinah Washington's recording career on 78s and 45s with a song on either side, starting with her stint with Lionel Hampton and continuing through the early years of her solo career.

Track 2-3 - credits writer "Chester Chester" which should be (Deborah) "Chessler".
Track 3-16 - credits writer "Wet" which should be (Eugene) "West".
Track 4-25 - in place of a writers' credit, it says "P.D." (public domain). For completeness, I have added credits for the writers.
Track 1-14 - They used the wrong master. It is supposed to be "I Want To Be Loved" (Savannah Churchill), Mercury 8035, June 1947. In the booklet, the song title, matrix, catalog number, session info, and musician credits all refer to that recording. On the disc we have "I Wanna Be Loved" (Green, Rose, Heyman), Mercury 8181, May 1950. Thus, it is the same recording as track 2-25 (slowed down by 1.8%, but it is the same take). The same error was made on The Complete Dinah Washington on Mercury, Vol. 1, and many times since. This time they "corrected" the writers' credit (from Churchill to Green, Rose, Heyman) instead of noticing they had the wrong song.
