Rachelle Ferrell "With Every Breath I take"

[mgmiller0709]

What a range, close to perfection. Wow

[MsMareParker]

Shed tears from being musically seduced....Eargasmic. Not sing into the mic.....Rachelle seduces it.

[Pel4president]

This is (handsdown) the best showcase of her amazing voice. She has a way building a temple in your listening; a temple that houses a deep and inpenetrable love for sound, for music, for God.

[Rubysouter]

She has a new CD coming out?

[LAORIGINALKIMMYLOULA]

YES GIRL, I CAN'T GET ENOUGH! I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL HER NEW CD DROPS!

[cmuratf73]

leeantony thank you keep up the great work.

[ROMANTICLOVE09]

[kejono5]

UNTOUCHABLE!



[thesoledad25]

Its 1.15 am here.. and this is soooooooooooooooo ....right...so beautiful.....

[ogkeedah]

If she is not the TRUTH, there is NONE....

[rcoxholloway]

This woman is a true artist, and she is so humble about her craft. She is evidence of a songstress with true God Given Talent. It's one thing to have talent, its another thing to have God Given Talent and to know what to do with it. She Knows exactly what she has and how to use her instrument to its fullest. I am in awe of her. She is Fantabulous!!!!!

[pja0713]

She litterally Blows me away! NO WORDS. LOVE HER , SHE'S JUST AWESOME! TRULY A GIFT FROM GOD.............glad to be blessed by her gifts!!!

[alisadm]

The four dislikes need to get their damn feet out of their ears.

[AnnaleishaMae]

@alisadm Looool

[CalixtheB]

I love it when she and George Duke work together!

[Timmy2827]

This song is beautiful;, i think she is underated.my wife jarmonica loves Regina bells songs you can check Jarmonica out covering is it the way by jill scoot. Jarmonica is a Jazz singer. happy viewing.

[bemaniac2]

George Duke = Legendary.

[etanielyehuda]

Absolutely stupendous!  She has the best breath control of any singers I have heard. She can do 5 minutes of vocal work with one breath! My brother and I are always in awe when we hear her. Incredible gift!!!!

[neosoulover]

with every breath she took AWAY FROM ME!!!

[gentilcopain]

bravo

[Psalms11817]

She is awesome as always, because she sings from deepths of her soul. She looks a lot like Whoopi Goldberg's daughter Alexandrea.

[f3rinkworth]

éxtasis puro

[Paulalayn]

amazing amazing performance ... her voice, the piano and everything .. she's incredible!

[HeleenD73]

Amazing, amazing. Got this version on cd and and it's simply amazing.

For the record; it's Larry Kimpel on bass and John Roberts on drums. The cd i have is Rachelle Ferrell 'Live in Montreux 91-97' by Blue Note

[TheSanctifiedSoldier]

Neither she nor Nnenna Freelon have gotten their just due...Sad because this is singing...the same way show business can shove doo doo auto tune down our throats and MAKE people accept it...they have the power to make people ACCEPT REAL TALENT...

[IridescentVelocity]

TEARS--JUST FLAWLESS

[cipo366]

She is simply the best I love her voice already for many many years þ

[Jaketrombone]

I love Whoopi Goldberg!!!

[m0nac0]

@Jaketrombone LoL, she's not

[Jaketrombone]

yeah I know just being an ass, haha she's not but she's great!

[islandbee]

Dang!!! @ 4:26, Rachelle looks like she is going to gobble up the mic. lol

[sugahpuddin]

I am still basking in the afterglow of seeing this woman live Saturday night. I cried throughout the entire concert. This woman had a cold, was struggling and could STILL sang most of these wannabe singers under the table!!

[AnnaleishaMae]

You lucky sod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

[bubbanubbs]

no words... just ummm!

[lynnilicious]

Wow ! I love this! Why I didn't know about this woman?!?!

[clarice955]

SHE IS DIVINE

[dreamingsleeping]

Words fail me...

Beyond description...

Simply,,, AMAZING!!!

[morgan699]

The problem with her voice and her, overall to me is simple. She's 10 TIMES BETTER LIVE. Sorry, but her CDs, and her studio recordings just do NOT CAPTURE the subtle textures, and controlled improvisation of her amazing musical gift. Her voice is a TREASURE that can MOSTLY be appreciated LIVE!!!!

[intjurban]

Nothing compares to hearing this lady sing live, absolutely nothing.

[ssaturn]

please. to get real soul and feeling out of an artist today would be like performing brain surgery. r&b and music at large has turning into pop. theres a distinctive sound in the air of music today and it hate it.

[artistage]

What music from Coleman, Duke and Ferrell!!! thanks for uploading. Please Rachelle, listen to the song WAITING FOR YOU under CD SOLO by JORGE HERNANDEZ on iTunes. Downlaod it, learn it and make it yours. Only Jorge, the composer has recorded it. It has lyrics in Spanish and English.

[ssaturn]

im sorry but i have to just listen to her cd. my goofy ass is just so tickled right now and laughin. her face kills me.

[dcage12003]

She does make faces - doesn't she?However,Rachelle is a true artist. She does what it takes emotionally, facially(if you will) and vocally to deliver. And deliver she does. Back in the day we would say that she gets "ugly" with it to describe her type of great performance. I wish more artist of today would get "ugly" with it but the truth is - they can't. Well, they could but it would not make a difference. That's the sad part.

[reckber28]

OMG

[nancydrew5]

I wonder what people mean when they use the term 'underrated' to describe someone like Rachelle Ferrell! I think that is a slur. Just because someone is 'pop'ular doesn't mean they are any good. Those who are in the know, will appreciate this artist, those who aren't on this musical level yet are just missing out. They haven't gotten out of primary school yet and 'pop' is all they can handle. Has nothing to do with 'rating' Rachelle, just has everything to do with people's musical level.

[DOMINIW5]

she has litterally THE PERFECT VOICE if there was voice that had to battle the devil and we had to pic the choosen one outta every vocalist it would be this lady (crazy example but yall get me) she invented the woed SKILL

[JacqMoeddijk]

What an orgasm. Two times. George Duke and Rachelle, piano and vocal. Never in my life, except Chick Corea & Bobby McFerrin, i've heard such a connection so big.

[cquillen]

The Best Singer Ever. Alive or dead. Yeah I said it....

[PeacefulRuler]

6:07 - 6:30 is such sweet sorrow. The performance is phenomenal, of course. 15+ second notes. Swooping, sweeping, emotional, vulnerable, playful..double octave jumping. That husky low B at the end. What else is there? What else is there to music?! Jeez!

[AnnaleishaMae]

Damn right!

[AnnaleishaMae]

Whoo! I fell u on that.

[bemaniac2]

reminds me of sarah!

[LL19111]

THE BEST SINGER ALIVE. PERIOD.

[zZClearNailPolishZz]

@LL19111 nuff said!

[ibnegot]

I agree the best singer on planet

sorry no one can compare to her

NO ONE, and thank you I feel bless to hear rachell

[paconot]

Yess the divine Miss Ferrell. So sweet and dominating you "almost" overlook the melodic keystrokes of Mr. Duke the jazz genius. What a pair. "Au pair" ??? My french stinks LOL.

[Ms1outlaw]

she is.....WOW!!! no one can touch her vocal ability and i mean NO ONE!!

[mimicrush]

The best singer on the planet!!

[wingster7045]

she teaches us the true spirit of vocal harmony and vocal spirit. my 12 year old daughter is blown way I am tearful that my princess is finally finding what real music is. she was rambeling around the house using her open mouth octive tones and the smile on her face was priceless ....thank you Rachelle Ferrell

[Sonnyboyart]

Im a vocalist and I most say she is beyond words, Im bowing down....

[paconot]

No one can touch her with this classic song. I have looked at several postings and she destroys the other performers. WOW....

[aniloJJ]

If someone is attending her performance, can you please please film her? ill be your best friend:P

[aniloJJ]

My heart is just breaking right now because Rachelle will be performing this July 13 at the 43rd Montreux Jazz Festival, and i cannot go :(

[AnonimuzZ]

Bb2

[Rashell009]

What a inspiration! Just pure talent, music and devotion....no extra selling points.... just vocals & Music!! I love it !!

[SimousDave]

WOW, I´ve never heard anything so good before.

Her mouth moves are amazing and voice is the best ever.

[DEEDUBB1979]

I like Deborah Cox BUT she DOES NOT have the vocal ability and dynamics as Rachelle. Sorry. Rachelle is just wonderful. I bought everything she made including her Live cd recorded in Europe. If you don't have it go get it. It's worth every dime.

[kjboricua86]

debrah has nothing on miss. rachelle...he don't know music and she sings it in so many diff.ways ..yo girl got a lil over 5 octive

[ronnymob]

great performance encore !

[iluvrachellef]

WOOOOW!!!Thats my girl!!And to think some young punk said her voice is weak and thin and that Deborah Cox has better tonation!!Bruh go get ur hearing checked please!!He said that on the tribute Rachelle did to Natalie Cole,who by the way was out of her seat at 1 point!!!!

[sisterevona]

thank you so much for posting this! wonderful voice, control, passion, talent...reminds me of my one true love that i lost.......

be blessed.

[princessred1979]

this is the "I know I'm shonuff in love" kinda song

[jflp630]

I am in awe of her talent and control, not to mention George Duke 5:30-6:00. Skills.

[dominiricansabor]

one of my favorite female vocalist...

[curtced]

Simply Amazing! God Spoken!

[KSennyBaby]

THIS IS LIVING YOUR LIFE THROUGH ART!

[ohsosexy45]

Ohhhhhh sooooooooo beautiful, what more can I say!!!!

[youngiftednblack]

the perfect combo,the two of these people make. this lady gives me chills everytime i hear her. i nearly passed out when i saw her at the bluenote. just amazing

[Ratchetchan]

Good God... I need a tuner, because I can't actually believe that's a B1. I just can't.

I mean JESUS!

[aniloJJ]

at what part ?:O

[cgs03d]

girl better TWIRL!!!!!!!

[00Ivanov]

Please, do also note the very minimal but playful solo by george duke.

[jodawara]

thanks for posting.

She can sing any genre. Top notch.

JOdawara/Japan

[6128387]

SHE ;LOOK LIKE MS CEILY BUT SHE CAN SANG

[khamikins]

does it matter what she looks like?

[kinggmj]

She has taken on an earthy look but you seem to imply she is ugly and she is not! 2009 lets change and stop the negativity..BLESSINGS TO YOU!

[jflp630]

this is hands down my favorite song, ever.

[zZClearNailPolishZz]

Yeah...what Yuneeq said...I too ran through the gamut of emotions and I'm stuck with that after-some-gooooood-lovin-don'­t-touch-me feeling. Rachelle's talent is...literally beyond words!

[ajeff710]

Say WORD!!!

[zZClearNailPolishZz]

WORD.

[miskatopa]

Do you guys realize that the final note is a B1???????????? THAT is LOW! She blows me away at each performance. Standing ovation!

[iamadevi]

I'm in awe.

[Yuneeq]

this is why i love Rachelle...i went thru a whole range of emotions just now watching this. i went from exclaiming "SANG IT RACHELLE" to being on the brink of tears to having chills all over my body to dropping my jaw in curiousity/amazement..then started all over again!

[Yuneeq]

*GASP* why has this video been up here for over a year and i'm JUST now seeing it?!?! INCREDIBLE!!!

[jflp630]

how does she hold those notes??? Yowsers, she is just simply amazing.

[merlino1987]

The singer who can be compared to her has not been born yet.

[MAGIC07]

Right...There here already. Patti, Mariah, WHitney & Celine

[bubbables]

No way.

[Doleval]

A rare combination of a great musical sensitivity and an equally great vocal technique. What makes it even better is the co-operation of each and every musician in the group. What A personalitIES !

[aminesool]

rachelle u're not human u're an angel u have a moste beautiful voice in the world of all times i love u

[angelinaambrogio]

i am amazed by rachell ..i am speechless!

[angelinaambrogio]

i am amazed by rachell!!i am speechless ...

[hahabass]

Do you know who, apart from George Duke, is in the band playing with Rachelle.

[philburrell]

I know that Bill Cobham is on drums. He has one of the funkiest foots in the business of dbl down beats....

[leeantony]

Actually, I think that is John Roberts on the drums with Larry Kimbell on bass.

[hahabass]

WOW! I tell you. I've got an ok collection of CDs and when I'm lost for something to listen to and can't make up my mind, I turn to Rachelle. One of my most played. I love her so much. Thanks for posting.

[germyw]

She does remind me of Al Jarreau singing or even Bobby McFerrin. Bobby has a serious range and plays around with notes seamlessly as she does. He also makes those weird faces. I love them both!

[blkconvrtble]

I am such a fan and still can not find anything on DVD my her except Autumn leaves....I talked to some friends in Greece they can't even help me....help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nbabet]

this for me is perfect!!!! :) WOW

[danyslon]

Hi everybody! I am from Brazil and I LOVE the way Rachelle sings! She is really unique! Does anybody have a DVD of this concert? I can't find any DVD of her!!! I can't understand! She is SO GREAT and it's impossible to find any Rachelle's DVD! Can somebody help me? I would love to have a DVD of Rachelle singing jazz like this song with George Duke!!!! I'm a jazz lover!!!

[leeantony]

Eu tenho o dvd, mas nao tenho mto tempo para copia-lo. Estarei no Brasil em abril talvez eu possa copiar o dvd antes de voltar ao Brasil. Em qual cidade vc mora? Estarei em SP e Salvador e talvez no Rio tambem.

[danyslon]

Olá! Eu moro em S.Paulo e seria genial se você pudesse copiar o DVD para mim! E, sem querer abusar, você poderia copiar também "Autumn Leaves"com a Rachelle e aqueles gigantes do jazz? Eu sou louco por jazz!

Por favor, antes de você vir a S.Paulo, me envia um E-mail para combinar de nos encontrarmos, OK?

Super obrigado!

Abs

Daniel

[Screenedit]

Rachelle Ferrell's, Voice is well rounded, Her voice has Billy Holiday, Nancy Wilson's pleasant jazz sound, Then she gives you the high pitch like Minnie Ripperton, Deniece Williams, Then she gives you the range like Patti Labelle, Chaka Kahn. Thats what i mean by well rounded, She's also pretty so she kills that stereotype that you gotta be ugly or not so attractive to sing real good.

[LILRuthlessplaya88]

pretty...ur kidding right.. me and my friend had to laugh at that statement.

[billybadass80]

I am in total agreement-especially the point of looks and singing ability.

[singerrforlife]

i loovee her fqacial expressions lol but besides that OHHHHHDEEEEEEE HERR VOICEEE IZZZ FREAKING AMAIZING!!!!!! LIKE I FRIGGIN GOT CHILLLSSS!!! AGHHH!!! she has wonderful voice control

[llamos]

Watching her reminds me of watching jazz great, Al Jarreau. I want to call 911 to get the brotha some help, but damn, that man--like his jazz sis Rachelle--can sing the notes right off a piano!

[mimicrush]

Holy shyyt.

[chakasmoothjazz]

love her shes amazing remembres me anita baker and lisa fischer amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

[nancydrew5]

Rachelle, has such an instrument!!! Her mouth is so mobile. She reminds me of Joe Williams, he had a sick range and could sing anything and do anything with his mouth. Rachelle is just amazing!

[billybadass80]

I can't wait for them to release the whole DVD of this concert. I have this cd and all of them. Love ya Rachelle! And thanks to Leeantony for posting this.

[barose1]

Why does it take 10+ years to release the DVD?? Will they ever?

[billybadass80]

I don't know but it pisses me off! They probably won't here in the United States because concert DVD's usually don't sell well, plus Rachelle is so unique they wouldn't know how to market her. That's why she's never really blown up the way she should here.

[deeslam]

One of the most diaappointing things to me is that this lady has never gotten a chance in the states to be one of our true musical darlings. Rachelle is one of the best voices ever to grace the music industry. She has one of those timeless voices. She does very well in cities that promote real jazz music like Atlanta. I agree with you that the industry didn't know how to market her unique talent. She was touted as the Ella Fitzgerald of our time.

[Volevodirti]

LUV LUV LUV this is music ...

[Karinobminor]

Truly amazing! Great combination with George Duke

[cecepeach]

Does anyone have a clip of Extensions?

[leeantony]

I wish. I love that song. She sang a bit of it b/c I requested it in March at the Blue Note in NYC.  If I ever get a video of that song it will be on here with the quickness!

[nubianmor]

WOW!!! WORDS CAN'T EXPLAIN

[direfranchement]

I agree, it is futile to compare singers of different vocally stylistic backgrounds. Rachelle comes from the Sarah Vaughan school of stretching and milking a song for every ounce of beauty it can produce. Patti and Aretha are vocal belters more adept at milking all the emotion a song may contain and conveying it in a performance. All are excellent at what they do. Appreciate.

[madscout96]

Holy S*it!! I was just looking on youtube for things from City of Angels (Cy Coleman), and found this. Beautiful song, and Rachelle F*cking Ferrell!! Girl is unbelieveable!

[divajc]

Breathtaking!

[kidchriz]

Excuse me... actually my favorite song of her is 'Autumn Leaves'.

[kidchriz]

This is so f@cking good. Thank you, Rachelle and poster. For long I have been a 'fan'. Especially the jazz album. My favorite: My Funny Valentine. Ciao, Bart

[Francesco1980]

sweet this is sweet ppl. cheers for addin it.amy winehouse is better though even if it has little to do with rachelle.

[kinggmj]

ITS JUST POWERFUL

[tvlive]

how can or where can I purchase this?

[cmcbeath]

Pure control. Her voice is an instrument. Amazing!

[matthewcleffert]

thats the point...noone does it like her. for instance patti has "competition" from chaka or aretha, whereas theres nooone "like" Rachelle.Thats why shes da booommb

[Excelscior]

Patti offers Chaka no competition. But that's a whole nother story and discussion. Same thing with comparing Rachelle, to the other three. Different type careers, hence, different type of live performers. But Rachelle is certainly great. God bless her.

[croon4u]

wOW! What an exmple. I figured, when I can do that range, I'll be happy! She's so beautiful. And George Duke just makes me cry! He is the substance of subtlety.

[croon4u]

I'm so glad so many of you know Rachelle. Living in a small country (population-wise), it's disconcerting to know that people simply aren't aware of all the artists of this calibre out there! Glad to have company. But I have to disagree with some of you: she's a singer (sound) in her own right & cannot be compared to the diehards of the early days.

[jayrock313]

sickest rang ever

[YaBoiTweety]

just wanted 2 take this time to thank who the real music lovers for posting her - hands down my favorite artist vocally

[croon4u]

I'm with you YaBoiTweety - 'cos she's not necessarily stealing or borrowing from other prominent artists.

Yell out if you need help, OK?

[icarrus4u]

C H I L L S.

[timmytickles]

she's like if Betty Carter & Meredith Monk had a baby!

& i mean that as a glowing compliment!

[ckminter]

ditto dharper20

[dharper20]

Ms Rachelle is beyond brillant, never seen anyone like her. I wish she would make more music....I just love her.

[vleispaaleis]

I know what you mean,I also saw her once in South Africa I was BLOWN AWAY I still am.

[jmnyc]

one of the most brilliant songs in the world, sung by one of the most brilliant vocalists! Thank you for posting this!
