Sarah vaughan - Send in the clowns - 1987

Many great singers have done this song very well but, mostly, they missed out on really expressing the irony and regret at the heart of the song.

Many singing actresses have done this song very well, by expressing those things very well. But they don't sing as well

She does both as well as is humanly possibly.

unbelievable when she sang that passage acapella..... I cried. My generation will never have a singer like this. She died the year I was born and I think no one can compare to her.

wow

Sublime vocal from Sarah & the way she gets inside "Send In The Clowns" makes this definitive performance a stunner...incredibly great!

Sarah's command of the stage,of the song,of the audience and of the world is powerful

thanks for posting--what really strikes me is the universality of the song that so many of the greats have covered it...

Van Morrison's version is better!!!

Who is that, dumbass?

What????

Me too mick, and I thought I was the only one, I am moved by her whole life. I have read everything I can find on her, including a couple of biographies and I own most of her recordings.
