  Dinah! is a fourth studio album by blues, R&B and jazz singer Dinah Washington released on the EmArcy label. The album includes a mix of jazz, popular and blues standards of the period, all selected to emphasize the vocalist's style.
  
  ## Reception
  
  Allmusic details the album in its review as saying:
  
     Dinah! includes a very enjoyable mix of medium-tempo and after-hours vocal numbers. On a handful of cuts, Washington gets into the kind of smoldering and declamatory blues mode she excelled at.
  
  The single "Make Me a Present of You" peaked at #27 on the Billboard Hot R&B Sides chart in 1958.
