Cleo Laine & Johnny Dankworth - Oh Lady Be Good

[allets77]

Amazing! What vocal range!!!

[welshcherry]

Their daughter Jacqui Dankworth has a wonderful voice. Look her up!

[lovemau1]

Where can I find a recording of Cleo singing this particular song as I consider it one of her best and would love to have it on my Ipod. Am a great fan of hers.

peterr

[vivalaleta]

Cleo has a sound that's all her own - she's one of a kind.

[MrBRL]

2 dislikes,lol,pierce your eardrums and stop listening to music,she maybe the best singer ever.

[TheMadzbee]

i dont reallt like her voice that much... kinda manly

[grenadian11]

Best version of Lady be good; bar none!

[danieljosephleo]

Class.

[swinginkatz]

Great

[flute4]

One of the greatest voices, and Dankworth was a great player/arranger...

[walcote1]

@flute4 I agree she's up there with the best.

[theoriginalbadbob]

THE most incredible voice of all time. 

[yourviews123]

This is truly an outstanding interpretation by Cleo Laine...just fabulous!!!  She explores all of her vocal range, brings forth beautiful color, and demonstrates inventive phrasing and rhythm. Truly spectacular!! Thanks!

[walcote1]

@yourviews123 Your words fully endorse my feelings for this fabulous lady, Thank you.

[Zaznayka74]

ооо.... леди бегут.... ко мнее.... 

[SvetikPopova]

@Zaznayka74 :-)

[stevenrmc]

I just love this woman's voice . . . sorry to hear about her husband [Dankworth].

[shout102]

Does anyone know where I can find a clip or audi version of a song Cleo did about 1970 called (I think) "New Towns Project"?

[adric137]

great music!

rip John Dankworth

[racingrubberbiker]

Love and blessings. I really miss this era.

Rest in peace

[jazzonthetube]

R.I.P. Sir John Dankworth

[Niccity1]

R.I.P Sir John indeed. We have lost a person who gave so much to everybody and who was a major figure in popularising jazz in the UK. Deepest condolences to Dame Cleo who has also brought us so much. A wonderful couple.

[Spongeboi19]

R.I.P Sir John

[paulprocopolis]

Great - Cleo's voice at its best!

[chinwaggerable]

There must be some ancient species of regal musical pussycat in Cleo Laine's genes. A mythological creature perhaps. She's out of this world.

[sideM424]

I learned this song after I listened Spencer Day version.

Her voice and song is Wonderful!!

[Notstrongbow]

I hope that I still get a chance to see her "LIVE".

Have loved her voice for 40 years....She's a National Treasure!

[bassocantante89]

What a unique and enchanting voice

[Vrtuosa]

Cleo is fabulous! I just did a concert 2 days ago with she and John Dankworth in Marina del Rey, Ca. It was amazing!!! They are both in their 80s and still going strong.

[HaFannyHa]

Voice like chocolate sauce! Cleo's fabulous... Too good!

[muxu89]

she is amazing

love her songs

[michelleuk]

Excellent

[Rickriquinho]

She is a superior kind of singer, that's all!

[zednill]

I agree. What is with all the complaining.! Dame Cleo Laine is over 70 and she and Sir John still perform. She is a legend and some of you young folks need to study up on you jazz and scatt history. AND she is a DAME COMMANDER

OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE !!

[SpeakaDaEnglish]

She still performs?  Fabulous!

[mrblobbymcblob]

she came came to our school to perform!! so good!! even though shes now 82!

[CA88times12]

What's with you people? Who puts this kind of energy into a discussion about my dad's better than your dad? And Prescilla, who's jealous, I don't get it?

[HappitoRelax]

Dame Cleo Lane is magnificent and her voice, like Dame Shirley Basseys, is distinct and unique!

[AllysonNumber1]

she sounds like a man

[inatrampolina]

how is it these days that everybody sounds like/looks like a man if they don't sound like/look like hannah montana? the standards for being a woman anymore are super strict, sheesh!

[AllysonNumber1]

oh no, thats not what i meant! hannah montana is a freaking freak and i HATE her! i mean that it sounds a lot lower from quality!

[seattlejpm]

With her incredible range, and her ability to put her personal stamp on each song, I think Cleo is an incredible singer and stylist. (Ella screws around too much for my taste, btw.)

[priscillaofmanila]

No. No. No. For the record: It's singer Toni Braxton that sounds like a man! For sure.

[CA88times12]

Wow, I must say, I really prefer Ella Fitzgeralds insane scatsinging-version

[priscillaofmanila]

Jealousy is a terrible emotion.

[zednill]

Heard this way, way back and decided that I was in LOVE! She is simply great and John is not asleep. How sexy can a woman be and be totally covered!!!

[priscillaofmanila]

Yes, modesty prevails.

[sealerdave]

She sat on my knee once true...only for a minute, Johnny gave me a "look" LOL 1954 at a club, plus she took singing lessons with a friend of mine's ex wife in London Maureen Dyer...

[lulu221094]

she reminds me a bit of Duffy... thats a good thing, though!

[HollyAugoodx]

I'm listening to this for a music project i'm doing and i'm only 12 but i also think their work is genius

[maxthevid]

"Someone" once said Oh Man that is pure syphide, Well I just count my blessings that I have access to u tube

and the wonders it contains, bless yoyu guys i AM 77 AND i JEST SITS AN WATCHES, AN LISTENS, i EVEN CRY A LITTLE. i hope they are all a sittin an a watchin, an a jiggin with us lucky people

maxthevid.

[zednill]

Double ditto my man. I fell in love with Cleo and then I met my wife and she too had a gap and we have been married 36 years. a lotta tears, laughs and apreciation for a really incredible lady. What a voice.;

[direfranchement]

My what an instrument! This is what I call a vocal performance.

[tisha812]

I'm sold...I've heard stuff from Cleo Laine that she's recorded in the last 15 years or so, but this is the first opportunity I've had to listen to her earlier stuff...Megacool!

[jjjemr]

AAArggh!! You have made my DAY!! I love this lady, she captivated me as a kid and I ever knew her name!

One of my absolute FAVES!!

[Pinguinmambo]

I always adored Cleo and her husband, Sir John. With her husky voice she will never find a successor! A major fan from the continent.

[fudzy62]

i never can get enough of dame cleo laine's singing,how i wish there was such a thing as immortality...i would want her to live on forever and ever.

[jenny66664]

why don't musicians like this get to the U.S.

they are fantastic. Been listening to a few others, and am really hooked. jenny_6664

[kennywesley]

where has she been all my life! :p

[mrlarryb818]

I've found her to be much more effective live than on recordings. To see her live is an amazing experience.

[LuideeMedia]

Cleo is such an amazing talent and always will be.

i saw her in 2005 and she was brilliant. I have the DVD of that performance and she is still so inspiring even on the screen

[aajmw]

Saw her and Sir John last night at the Razz Room in San Francisco. At 80 she still has it.  Amazing!

[californiansteven]

my grandfather played with him at the Hollywood bowl when he was in the Kirchin Band...absolutely amazing!

[wolf1750]

Her nuances and variations are really something! wolf1750

[54spiritedwill54]

it's delovelyy,s' wonderful cleo laine

[ccl2006]

Wouldn't you love to have her sing a James Bond theme song? Lordy, she's got some pipes!

[procrustesuk]

I can't believe she ever had straight hair!

[wolf175]

She is one of the greatest, Wolf/Kyoto

[annie482000]

Does anyone happen to have Cleo Laine's 60s hit "You'll Answer To Me"? If so, could they please post it here?

Thanks in advance -

Annie :)

[isurfguy]

now thats what i'm talkin' about!!! thanks fo' sharin'... aloha

[heartsong4u]

What soars like an eagle, rings like a bell, and purrs like a kitten? The voice of the fabulous Miss Cleo Laine of course! Amongst all the 'heavyweight' hitters in the world of song (pick a genre, any genre!) there's never been anyone who can do quite what this lady can do with those amazing pipes!

[gramule]

this is amazing. thanks for sharing it!

[motorcitymiguel]

WOW...........

[cyshadowx]

Outstanding Performace

[stichi56]

Wonderful ! Really wonderful! God save Cleo.

[timmytickles]

love love love that Cleo Laine!

[JamesMorganLondon]

I've always loved Cleo Laine. We don't see enough of her, so it's great to find clips like this one.

[1969SL]

This is really excellent,I never saw old TV performances by Cleo althought by listening her records I could tell her voice was at its peak in 1960s.Somehow I collected more than 40 of her albums,without thinking I became a collector...this is beautiful to watch and to hear!

[DelMkVI]

There are only 2 scat singers I rate. The other one is Ella. Saw Cleo last week - at 79 she still sounds (and looks) fantastic.

[vinyldaewo]

She is really good !!!

[tommyrall3]

it's delovelyyyy,s'wonderful cleo laine

[susuemikado]

Thanks so much...really enjoyable!

[singer101]

i love her "live in manhattan" version too, where she holds the E flat for a good chunk of time.. but i must say, she really looks amazing here... and what a voice.. great transitioning from head to chest voice
