Sarah Vaughan - Fly Me to the Moon (Live)

[JMCyoungblood]

To me the top comments are hot I'm just not sure who to vote up so I did both... Iam also a Metal head BUT I also Love Jazz So thumbs up to you both!!!! Sarah Let me sing for ever more...

[ohakkar2]

yes, you can! Wonderful voice and wonderful performance!

[snowhiteXD]

Can I cry now?

[aya41602]

the death of amy winehouse brought me here. i dont know about jazz, but her voice is more than wonderful (or excellent or things like that). simply beautiful.

[vladusch777]

The best!!!! Sarah is something else... From another dimension. The greatest of all!!!

[noniuice]

Sarah and Ella.... My favorite Jazz vocalists..... They have such clean vocals!!!! UGH! Just love them... Makes me want to take a couple jazz vocal classes.

[jan8421]

I never get tired of hearing her singing and know she commented once that good music is good music and forever good music . . . so true with her especially!

[blanknalblanknalb]

The only voice

[turquoisecouch]

Sublime!!

[dftr621]

Sarah had the most emotive vibrato of any singer I've ever heard. Pure beauty

[distcitz]

This was a classic version of a classic song which has been done by so many other greats, but Sarah's interpretation is a thing of wonder, her voice embracing many different tones. Lady Day, Miss Ella, sweet Dinah Washington are awesome to listen to but it is Sassy who is the regal queen of singers. There will never be another like her.

[Zangetsu695]

this is the best cover i've heard next to Tony Benett's. They capture the song's true meaning with the slow pace and flow.... just wonderful

God bless~

[KyokoSha]

thanks for inspire us till this far...

[blue100000]

The Best....

[mizmaier]

Sarah has a gift that is pure genius. It is like she is from another planet! We will never hear the likes of her again.

[JAZZ8507]

Oh my God...only one word...MARVELOUS SASSY!!!!!!!

[emmettk]

This is the difference between a cover and an interpretation. Great artists leave no doubt as to whom is singing the song. The beauty of jazz is that it was art first and commerce second. Unfortunately, that is the very reason you could probably total the earnings of all the greats and it would be less than what GaGa or Beiber made last year. Who said life was fair?

[Jackthirteen]

A REAL SINGER...today's divas and heroes of "Idol" are incapable of this quality because they can't even truly conceive it

[ocnoreen]

She wove a magical spell with her voice and interpretation, always the unexpected. So creative! WE MISS YOU, SASS.

[babooshky]

*sigh*

[ederrick987]

Ms Sarah Vaughan was mostly before my time, but her music and style of smooth jazz is indeed classic. These young people now have no idea of this kind of quality and class....the way she fluidity in which she carry notes is unbelievable ...

[MsLadynoble]

Oh, the days of my youth were filled with singers like Sarah Vaughan and they gave us beautiful words and melodies. We need to dance with each other once again, we lost that safe touching and holding of long ago music.

[jPapa2008]

Well, all I want to say is for people not to ever compare the new Jazz singers with this woman for her type lived through the hashes of times USA had seen and that's what we feel when listening to her voice regardless of composition.

And they never had it easy.  Unlike today's girls, these ladies were living in a mens wolrd. Like they say, you can tell when you live it, so I feel this comments fits really well.

[tedwilson79]

My goodness...does it get better than this in terms of performance? So beautiful.

[robertlaberge]

Je vous le dis franchement: quelle merveille!

[mannixisle]

She sings as every other singer wishes they could, but never can.

[barztool]

@mannixisle so true...she's the absolute best! I have loved her voice for over 40 years.

[1960timbo]

THE voice of jazz . But I just find this version too slow - it nevers gets off. It doesn't matter - her voice is so beautiful.

[horizon947]

horizon947@direfranchement

Yeah, I thoroughly understand. Will also omit words such as sanguine, steeped in...

overflow, dripping, lines, etc. from now on! Promise!

[horizon947]

Can anyone ever replace Sarah Vaughn? Her voice is liquid, oozing jazz.

[Grendelmonster8u]

@horizon947 I think the kind of words you're looking for are sinuous, sensuous, & voluptuous for Sarah's vocals. Sinuous - bending in & out. Sensuous - delighting in the beauty/aethetics of a form of art, music, etc. Voluptuous fits her best (not her body!)...full-bodied, fullness, delight to the senses...yep, her singing is voluptuous. Her voice is rich. She would have been great to see live then.

"Music arose with its voluptuous swell." -- Lord Byron (Back to my dictionary.)

[TomateFarcie]

holy cow!!!! I've never heard this before!!!  simply amazing!!

[TheGirlWhoSwearsALot]

My parents met and fell in love at this concert !!!!!!!

[queen936]

truly sarah vaughn was the best there was and i don't believe anyone will ever come close..

[odysseetheater]

@queen936 for ME this attribute belongs to ella

[distcitz]

Sarah the sassy and divine one simply stated conquered this song like no one before her or since her, she was the most gifted singer of all time to be sure, I can and do listen to sarah's music daily

[NGNG3]

May the Lord G-D YHWH keep her singing in heaven. I'm sure she's behind the piano, harp & double bass keeping all the angels entertained & praising in harmony. : D

[AnnaleishaMae]

@NGNG3 :-)

[nelly7412]

Thanks God I saw her in Barcelona 30 years ago- She s one of the great voices of jazz. God bless her. THANK you, Sara

[Ladyrants]

The voice of the twentieth century. No one matches it. No one. RIP Sass.

[direfranchement]

@Dodmen1

Though Sinatra far surpassed Vaughan in popularity and commercial success, I don't think it can soberly be said that he came within striking distance of her vocally. For sheer vocal ability and improvisatory potential, there is Sarah, Ella, and Mel. After those three comes everyone else.

[TheDivinesass]

@direfranchement hear hear 100 percent agree. her voice was a gift to all humanity!

[wdrayr]

The best version of this song, ever.

[stacynewyork]

Hey , this is a featured vid :-)

[mmangum4444]

after listening to this, I'm already half-way to the moon!

[Matt3740]

The Divine One! Sarah Vaughan takes our souls on the wings of her lovely voice and soars us beyond the confines of "just singing" into the world of a creative opportunity. Truly inspiring!

[11777766]

Sarah Vaughn sings and soars into jazz heaven.

[beltranodetal]

The best female popular singer EVER!

[vangorkj]

I'm a genuine "metalhead", but I gladly make time for some vocal sophistication.

Absolutely unsurpassed.

Sarah rules!!!

[Cinzazul]

I think we need more 'vocal sophistication' in today's music scene. I like the concept.

[pharaohoftheincubi]

hehe nice 1 :)

[petejohnson1000]

@vangorkj METALHEAD nah I know what you are, YOUR A MUSIC LOVER

[perseus651]

Perfection.

[gensizin]

I like this one. Thank you.

[cocomaire]

She uses her voice like a horn player. She's so free, yet the tune is still completely recognizable. So many singers try, but end up interfering with the melody of the song. I love Sarah Vaughan!

[stacynewyork]

u r soo right!!

[raypianoplayer]

To me.she's about the best female jazz singer ever...

[ericblr]

I second that notion!

[BrazilianItalianGirl]

I did a video singin this song too..but It's not even close to Sarah...!!DIVINE!

[ChrissyPoo516]

Best Rendition I've ever heard....Sarah knows how to take a song and make you feel every word, syllable, phrase, vowel. etc.....This makes me wanna cry

[collegeri]

there are about 3 songs by the great singers of the modern age that i loved and thought were the best they could ever be. and in each case i came across a sarah vaughan live version only to learn that i had been wrong.

[AirVaughan]

her voice sounds like christmas morning.

[superc2k]

omg you are so right I cant even discribe what her voice sounds like but that is the closest "christmas morning"

[shiningstar07]

That was amazing...

[Guitarlord013]

This Version sound great as well but has a Sad mysterious night air about it. It feels like I just lost my Job have no where to go, sit in a Jazz Night Club around 1:30AM , have a few small drinks to forget my troubles, drink them slowly and then hear this beautiful voice full of passion and mystery come out of nowhere. How lovely to end a day to hear this voice sing in the middle of the night. Respect the Classics, they all have passion in their Voice, Like Freddie Mercury from QUEEN. Bravo!

[1947Chief]

great vocal improv

[22903646]

I agree wholeheartedly with all previous comments - just stunning

[ebonyme1]

I love her voice, you can feel the passion of the words she is singing. It vibes to the core of your soul. Wow awesome.

[MagicRain505]

I don't know about you guys, but whenever I listen to Sarah Vaughan, it makes me cry.... so beautiful..... there's no other vocalist that makes me do that, whether she is singing something as fast as Cherokee, or this...... It's so human... that's what seperates her from a lot of singers.

[larrickebankstv]

My Lady Sass!!! Untouchable. What a Voice!!!

Haunting. Thanks for the vid.

Peace, L

[pbridge1300]

Now *that* is an instrument.  Stunning. Thanks for posting.

[BebopForTheFunOfIt]

On another level. I had the pleasure of seeing Sarah in performance live 20 years ago. Unforgettable. Perfect, but with soul. She was a musical miracle, as were many fellow performers who emerged in the 40's and 50's to set a seemingly impossibly high standard for the generations to follow.

Not well known is that Sarah was a pretty good piano player, too.

[AnnaleishaMae]

Oh... I had no clue she could play!

[Kubalivre]

She's quite the player. She actually got into Basie's band not by singing, but as his backup piano.

[direfranchement]

Sarah Vaughan was never a member of Count Basie's band. She joined Earl Hines' band in 1943 as 2nd pianist (after Hines himself) but was moved to vocals after Hines hired Cliff Smalls.

[greasegunx]

Exquisite.... there's no other word for it. A supreme genius of song.

[PeterAliha]

she restructures the song as if it's a new tone.

perfect.

[Pharangel23]

Really special.

Thank you;)

[asheswillrise123]

What an incredible vocal!!! This is pure genius. Sarah's gifts, thank God, have been recorded for the ages. We may never experience another artist of this calliber in our lifetime.
