Disco Dessert 1/3/19 - "What A Diff'rence A Day Makes" from Esther Phillips...

Soul legend Esther Phillips, who in 1950 became the youngest female singer to have a #1 hit on the R&B chart with "Mistrustin' Blues", revived her career in 1975 at the age of 40 with her disco remake of "What A Diff'rence A Day Makes". Appearing on the album of the same name, the cover of the Dorsey Brothers' swingtime classic spent two weeks at #2 on Billboard magazine's Disco/Dance Tracks chart, while going to #10 on the R&B list and #20 on the pop Hot 100. Sadly, her longtime fight with addiction eventually claimed her life in 1984.
