ReStructure Mix Update (1/27/15) “What A Difference A Day Makes” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Esther Phillips

Esther Phillips is a soul/blues singer whose talent included taking songs and making them all her own. A unique style of singing that is recognizable and continues to bring an experience to new and old listeners. Her 1975 album “What A Difference A Day Makes” produced by Creed Taylor contained a soul/disco cover of the 1934 track originally written in Spanish by Maria Grever – it was later made popular by Dinah Washington in 1959 and also won a Grammy that year. Esther’s upbeat version has a nice resonance thanks to her bluesy touch and a rhythmic instrumental.

I have taken the album version and worked a ReStructure Mix adding a longer intro and some kick drums to give the excitement a new edge. Parts of Dinah’s version are added to give another triumph a star.

This ReStructure Mix was requested by Nick and Lindsay and dedicated to these two wonderful men who bring so much excitement to my world of music and a thrill in hearing the women of song in their glory. Thanks, guys.
