Unforgettable is the twelfth studio album LP record by blues, R&B and jazz singer Dinah Washington, released on the Mercury Records label, and reissued as a compilation album in 1991.[3] The record shows the singer mostly in a pop star role instead of her traditional jazz & blues style. Allmusic reviews the compilation album as saying: "This CD (which has the original LP program of 12 songs joined by six others) finds Washington singing brief (mostly under three-minute) versions of standards in hopes of gaining another hit.".[4] The single "Unforgettable", released in 1959, peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard 200 chart in 1961,[5] and Dinah's recording of the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2001.[6]
