  • WHAT A LADY

  • Divina..... simplesmente divina.....

  • Many thanks - I'll look out for it.

  • This is from the DVD 'The Divine one' but does anybody know where it was recorded and if the video/DVD is available

  • @shirl1pete2 This show was recorded in Stockholm in 1967. Part of the concert is available by Jazz Icons.

  • There is no better version of this Johnny Mandel song! Thanks for the post and a happy new year!

  • это не музыка ,это чистейший бальзам!!!

  • I'm jealous of all those who got a chance to hear Sarah Live. :( I'm extremely jealous of those who got to meet her. :'(

  • She is one of the greatest jazz singer that was ever born in this century!

  • @perdu444 i hope you mean 20th century?

  • @perdu444 Totally agreee

  • Simply divine!

  • shes unreal

  • in 1954 Armed Forces Radio Network played "Say you'll wait for me" by Sarah every day

  • 25 pessoas são surdas ou fãs de Britney Spears, Rihanna, Lady Gaga...

  • a mothers love for her daughter thats what i think

  • @MrFalconford it's funny that you said that--my daughter is leaving for for christmas (dad time) and i've been playing this non stop. i'm never apart from her and a month is a long time. love the tony bennett and frank sinatra versions too. very different from this.

  • IF you disliked this song, there is something seriously wrong with YOU!

  • @TheMysterySwan  A Bit strong..but yeah you're right

  • almost cried.

  • Sassy is pure magic, his voice has a unique and personal tone, grave, beautiful. One of the finest jazz singers of our time.

  • Sassy was the queen of her day royalty reighns.

  • 24 twads preffer riahna to this

  • unmatchable!

  • this is heaven

    what style

    absolutely divine

  • this is heaven

    what style

  • She is Divine and definitely Sassy, I love this!

  • if dying meant i could live in these moments forever i would jump off a bridge yesterday

  • This arrangement rocks! That piano is so beautiful, reminds me of Bill Evans

  • There will never be music like the blues from this time period... there is something so romantic as well as tragic about this time period and the music that came from it. And a certain level of skill/ talent that we do not have anymore in our society. We have great music... but this is the music that we come from.

  • Perfection!

  • I'm a fetus and I dig this!!

  • @DannyFuckinTanner thats funny

  • @DannyFuckinTanner I lul'd dear Sir. I lul'd.

  • I sang this in my chorus class as a little kid!

  • Thank you Amazing Thrilling :)

  • I got some chill bumps while listening to this, and that only happens on very rare occasions.

  • i love it!!!!!! and im 22!!! remarkable woman!

  • i love it!!!!!!

  • “While I was playing piano in the school band, I learned to take music apart and analyze the notes and put it back together again. By doing this, I learned to sing differently from all the other singers.” - Sarah Vaughan

  • @bolder2009 Do you know where that's from and where the rest of that interview is? I'd love to read all else she might of said about the voice and music.

  • @uniquebfly Its from an interview for Downbeat magazine, published in March 1961.

  • @bolder2009 Also - when asked about her use of vibratto, she said "There are notes between notes."

  • @damitajo12000 Yes she did say that.

  • Why can music like this make top ten on the radio or get triple platnum rather then the buble gum pop bs we have now

  • @terner5 maybe WE are becoming more like bubble gums.Isnt that what they want

  • letra em portugues de ; PAULO ROBERTO ,gravadas por ANTONIO MARCOS,PAULO ROBERTO,MOACYR FRANCO

  • I like that part by Joe Williams, drink all nite, smoke cigs, hang out all nite.....Hell, we have to do that to forget this administrations failings.

  • End The Fed

  • it does not get much better than this

  • Unique Lady Of Singing.

  • Absolutely adore Sarah!

    

  • This is simply beautiful...what a great interpertation what a GEM! Sarah was amazing, I shake my head listening to this..it's so beautiful

  • A great song by diva Sarah Vaughan.

  • I too began listening to Jazz when I was a teen, all my friends were making fun of me, cause I did not enjoy the disco music. Today I am so happy I discovered the jazz and classical music long ago. The disco has long gone, but the jazz and classical remain.

  • this is the best ever

    

  • this is just one of the most beautiful haunting pieces of music i have ever heard ! well done sarah for being so fabulous

  • Une pure merveille!!!!

  • This clip comes from a PBS biography of Sarah Vaughan. At the end, Joe Williams makes comments that provide insight into her persona. But his comments absolutely ruin the astonishing mood she has created in this exceptional performance. Can anyone post the video of the song just as she sang it, from beginning to end? From a musical point of view, I would love to hear how she wrapped up this extraordinary rendition. Also, I think the performance, in Sweden, dates to 1967.

  • The best divas ever (in any order):

    Amália Rodrigues (Portugal),

    Cesária Évora (Cape Verde),

    Oum Kalthoum (Egypt),

    Elis Regina (Brazil),

    Sarah Vaughan (USA),

    Aretha Franklin (USA),

    Ella Fitzgerald (USA),

    Edith Piaf (France),

    Mercedes Sosa (Argentina).

  • @campbra You have wonderful taste!

  • @campbra Good choices, the ones i recognize on your list certainly are divas in my mind too...

  • Still remember this wonderful song from my younger days & still love it!

  • again...wow. a treasure. do ya think she'd make it to the final 2 on idol show?

    my geuss the season would be cancelled on account the other contestants went home.

    i often listen to her and wonder just how hard the band behind her is working to keep out of her way. this group does it well until the whole vid gets jerked at the end.

  • Great performance, but i don't think it was from 1964. The song was first introduced in a 1965 movie.

  • @apples12310 This concert was from 1967 in Sweden.

  • This is "real" music. Voice, Instruments, class, and grace. Beautiful.

  • What this ressentfull people want daring to criticize this esplendid performance? They have problems, not this record.

  • Although Sarah Vaughan has a stunning vocal quality I can't help feeling that this felt a bit forced. Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday excel because the sound seems to come from their within their souls. This clip sounded too calculated, too rehearsed maybe. But still, a remarkable voice.

  • @mickram23 Forced and calculated? Maybe. There’s no denying that Sarah Vaughan enjoyed the sound of her own voice and used every opportunity to show it off to full advantage. Breath-taking vocal pyrotechnics notwithstanding, I never get the sense that Sarah Vaughan loses her way in a song, or loses touch with its emotional arc. Nothing at all against Ella Fitzgerald (“You’re the Top”) and Bille Holiday (“Don’t Explain”); I can’t help but be pulled in by Vaughan’s molten-gold contralto voice.

  • @avesraggiana I may have sounded a bit too critical in my comment, she has without a doubt got an amazing tone to her voice. It's maybe more a personal thing because I prefer a pure rendition of a song to the 'vocal trickery' employed here (and by almost every 'soul' singer in the past 20 years). Having said all that, I doubt we'll hear vocals like this again even though there is an amazing amount of talent around today.

  • k, this was a bit drawn out… probably not my favorite…. but B+ for good effort… but flat/sharp… or one… or the other… who knows… maybe it's just the style…. thumbs up if you noticed what i just stated… go with god |:-/.… band was good :)

  • im drunk. youtube's search alg. brought me to this video :D! thumbs up if you experienced the same...

    also, this is p. good...

  • GOD exist!!! and is a woman!!!!!!!

  • One of my first memories as a very very young child was strangely of Sarah Vaughan. I remember sitting next to my mother as she drove a car and she began crying.. I asked her why is she crying? She said that the radio just said Sarah Vaughan has died. I will never forget it and I will never forget Sarah Vaughan.

  • @tamarexxe Your mother wasn't the only one crying. I remember going to work and getting a call from a friend who knew how much I loved Sarah calling me and telling me she had just died. Many people of my generation remember where they were when President Kennedy and Rev. Martin Luther King were assasinated, as well as I. And this was just another marker in time that made my life stand still for just a moment to understand that something profound and deep had just happened.

  • NON è TRA LE MIGLIORI PERFORMANCES. SAPEVA FARE MOLTO DI MEGLIO .....!!

  • classic, wonderful, so moving, another great and inspirational person, 

  • How wonderful - an 82-yr old and a 19-yr old dialoguing and having this wonderful music in common (see above). And the 19 yr old addressing his elder as "Sir".

    Classy! A nicely brought up boy.

  • Sentiment and emotion are so beautifully captured in this SV masterpiece! Thanks so much, one of my favourite of many of Sarah's gems. Gives reason for life. (Is there the full version available anywhere?).

    N.(Sri Lanka)

  • @nilambe08 Jazz Icons bonus DVD

  • Absolutely beautiful. Saw Sarah on three occasion in glasgow scotland. It is just superb to be able relive all these great moments on youtube. mant thanks for posting

  • Magical

  • stunningly captivating.just superb.5*

  • that dude at the end knew how it rolls, ^^

    I still need to get used to this song, especially when sung so beautifully....

  • My first date with my husband was to see Sarah in DC at the Blue Mirror Grill. I was hooked on her from then on. I was a teenager and was overwhelmed.

  • Great!!!

  • What did they find wrong with this recording? Their own hearing? I hope, for their sake, that ignorance is bliss......

  • sarah  the queen

  • An Amazing Grace...!  Rest In Love Ma....!

  • phenomenal...

  • Sarah,Ella,Billie,Dinah are the power quartet!!!

  • Sarah, Ella, Billie are the power trio!

  • Obviously 22 people have no tast!!!

  • What a phenomenal voice

  • Beautiful vocal performance. What a wonderful sound those musicians make. Who's the pianist?

  • @ImaniHekima hahaha..... ;) "What a wonderful sound those musicians make." thats great.. you nailed it. lol

     ...so .....bittersweet

  • Absolutamente fabuloso!!!!!!!!!

  • AWESOME

  • I can only say....ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!!!

  • awesome control!

  • @albertacristie99

    This is a great, great perf. from Sarah.

    For a very different, fun light bossa approach, have a listen to the Karrin Allyson - Nancy King duet of this, also on youtube. Myself, I do it as a pronounced bossa - might put it up sometime.

  • @albertacristie99 I do it from memory, so you're in luck: The shadow of your smile When you are gone Will colour all my dreams And light the dawn Look into my eyes, my love And see All the lovely things you sre to me Our wistful little star Was far too high A teardrop kissed your lips And so did I Now when I remember spring All the joy and love it brings I will be remembering The shadow of your smile This is a great, great perf. from Sarah.
  • beauty! 

  • I love her lower register so much.

  • The funny thing is...Roy Haynes face (being interviewed) in the very beginning (before Sarah is announced and the concert is shown)!

  • Sarah..she was great, pure, the beautiful deepnes and the unique vibration in her voice are unforgettebable. Sarah will be unforgettable till the end of my life..... 

  • 0:57 - 1:04 YES! I practiced that!

  • Love is ALL we neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed!!! And it will always be...

  • How must it feel to sing like this...what a voice for the ages...

  • BTW the comments of the great Joe Williams are fantastic! Her she is arguably the greatest jazz singer ever and she smokes, drinks and stays high! I love that honesty about the "Sassy One!".

  • Where and When was this performed at?

  • @jamaya1221 Stockholm 1967

  • @jamaya1221 No. London, 1964. 

  • @rayjr62 Stockholm 1967. Part of this concert is available from JAZZ ICONS.

  • one of the "five greats" in my book (ella, sarah, carmen, dinah, billie) -- got to see her in NYC in the mid 80's right before she passed away -- unforgettable and irreplaceable as an artist

  • The definitive female version.........

  • One of the greats! When Sarah sings you know who it is. What a distintive style and sound. Miss you Sarah.

  • Who else has the command to begin a tune is this exciting and innovative way?

    Sarah is non pareil

  • Somebody voted down...Lord have mercy...Sarah your music will live forever! Awesome!

  • Could someone please transcribe what was said at the end? It goes too fast for me and I can"t understand. :(

  • Comment removed

  • let me get this straight youre comparing the great sarah vaughn to some chick on american idol lol

  • @jrmelmer see my response to ajack2boys IF either of you did a google search, you will see that Carrie Underwood has already surpassed Ms. Vaugh in sales...however, that was not my point. Good luck checking your facts in the future.

  • @michealati ahahahahahah...funny really funny!!!!

  • This singing and mood bring the song to life!!!!

  • What a range. Clear & so pure. I saw her live in N.Y. i n the early 50's in a small club & it was thrilling. I will never forget that performance because that was before she became a superstar. I am now 82 yrs. old & those are the memories that sustain me & there is nobody today that could come close to that talent!.I was so fortunate to have had that opportunity. I will never forget you Sarah.

  • @AlucardxSabrina I am so jealous. I am happy to hear that you witnessed her artistry when her voice was at its best. I am 33 so when I knew of Sarah Vaughan she was already gone but her records are amazing.

  • @AlucardxSabrina You said it better than anyone else!

  • @AlucardxSabrina there,s quite a few very good jazz singers these days... try rachelle ferrell: an excellent mix of the jazz tradition and modern music

  • @AlucardxSabrina You are so lucky to have seen her! She has the most amazing voice I've ever heard, would give anything to have seen her...what an awesome memory for you, thank you for posting!

  • @AlucardxSabrina I like this song. Roman, 45 :-)

  • @AlucardxSabrina Thank you for that touching tribute. She certainly was very special.

  • @AlucardxSabrina where did u see her

  • @AlucardxSabrina I've read alot of some of the 'really' great stars, that NO ONE can even touch. I was reading a book about S.V, and I just finished it at 0230, and got out of bed to hear her. You must have some really great memories. How much were the tickets then?

  • @AlucardxSabrina Thank you for your wonderful comments, and how fortunate you were to see her back then.  I agree, she was one of the greatest vocalists of all time.

  • @AlucardxSabrina I am 76 and living in Holland but I enjoy al the music from those days, wonderfull all that we had, like George Benson doing this song and many others, I also wil never forget these people, Dinkie.

  • @AlucardxSabrina Sarah, You go Girl, you Rock

  • @AlucardxSabrina Sir, i am 19 years old and i prefer this kind of music than all those crap we listen to today...

  • @Tony132GR Like music, you have no age ... you were never born and will never die

  • @Tony132GR  yu are cool my friend : )

  • @Tony132GR RIght you are!! I´m 21 and feel the same way!

  • @Tony132GR essa musica e so pra quem tem alma e sentimento gostei muito tambem

  • @Tony132GR 17 and feel the same way.

  • @Tony132GR

    and i'm 15 and i only listen to jazz music. ohh yeah. i hope this music is going to be popular again. i like it when there are other guys outside there who also have this opinion!!! :)

  • @Tony132GR We are listening to the music we enjoy.. now, today. Is there a problem?

  • @AlucardxSabrina

    Sweet moments. Mine was at a club called the Sugar Shack in Boston, 1968.

    Stevie Wonder was playing and the entire place was thick with electricity.

    What a performance in a small club.

  • @Isadorka1 AlucardxSabrina is 19

    check out her profile plus i dont know many 82 yo on you tube

  • @AlucardxSabrina I am jealous of your experience. But seriously, your comment is one of the most sincere accolade I have come across on youtube. I am certain that wherever Sarah is now, she will be smiling upon you as she read your comment. Godspeed!

  • @josefdeguzman AlucardxSabrina is 19

    check out her profile i dont know many 82 y o that will be on you tube typing comments lol

  • @AlucardxSabrina Like music, you have no age ... you were never born and will never die

  • @AlucardxSabrina You are a 19 year old anime lover according to your profile :o/

  • @AlucardxSabrina Que privilegio es una voz divina. y que interpretaciones. gracias por  compartir su experiencia. saludos.

  • @AlucardxSabrina

    Wow that's amazing ! can I ask did you ever see Charlie Parker live ?

  • Stunning! Unreachable Sarah Vaughan!

  • I think I still have to give it to carly smithson for her version on Idol a few years back.

  • @michealati With all due respect, comparing the immortal Sarah Vaughan to any American Idol contestant is one of the silliest things I have ever heard in my life.

  • @ajack2boys It probably seems silly to you because Im not comparing their entire bodies of work...just that song, as I stated earlier. Perhaps if you gave yourself enough time to understand what I said, my point would make sense. Either way, we can agree to disagree without reducing ourselves to petty insults. With all due respect, of course.

  • @ajack2boys I'm with you on that one.

  • Comment removed

  • @michealati I saw her on American Idol and just watched her sing again. I can see why Carly Smithson’s rendition would find favour with today’s generation of listeners. There’s room of course for both, but not in my heart. I just don’t think Carly Smithson’s belting, over-sung version will stand the test of time, especially when held up against Vaughan’s vocal sophistication, musical maturity and sheer, undeniable genius.

  • @avesraggiana I can agree with that...I think that a random person, listening to both versions and not knowing the history of both singers, would probably pick Carly, put thats just my opionion. I do I appreciate your comment, it was thoughtful and articulate.

  • So smooth and supple! It soothes and inspires like nothing of this moment in time.

    Sarah Vaughan live on!

  • A MAIOR INTERPRETE DO PLANTA TERRA, MARAVILHOSA SARA!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • After this version I don't need others! Thanks

  • Jesus Christ! So effortless and so beautiful! Maybe the best female jazz singer ever? And, could have easily been a opera singer with her range and vibrato. Billie Holiday, Ella, Betty Carter, who the hell knows?

  • @taterdickens Gets on my NERVES!!!! I can't stand how easily she sings this song!!! It is cruel & deceptive and I LOVE IT!!

    Anyone that wants to learn how to sing needs to study none other than the divine Sarah Vaughan. Her breathing is the flawless!

  • There are so many female artist past and present that I love, but there is only one Sarah Vaughan, and I worship her.

  • Sarah Vaughan did not really need much accompaniment. The smaller the group of instruments, the sparser the orchestration, the more she shone. And she shone bright, about as bright as they come.

  • "I drink booze, I smoke cigarettes and I stay high, I stay up all night long. . I hang out."

    Classic. 

  • @rayjr62

    Sassy, alright.
