Carmen McRae and Sarah Vaughan, Body and Soul, 1977

[@robertpreato3891]

the only thing better than listening to Carmen McRae or Sarah Vaughan is listening to Carmen McRae AND Sarah Vaughan

[@JazzFlop212]

A duet of two of the finest singers in history. Heaven.

[@petermanzi9363]

Sarah had the voice, Carmen the phrasing and emotive range. They complement each other. I like Carmen's versions of Misty, Tenderly the best.

[@bradly2007]

Two of the greatest ever together a sublime musical treat, in 1977 Summer magic at The Hollywood Bowl two nights with Carmen & Sarah were magnificent, luckily went both nights we will never see their likes again, so happy this incredibly great performance was filmed have viewed now a number of times...

[@bbrown333]

Jealous!

[@AABB-cn4yk]

those orchestra members are so privileged to be in the studio with these 2 legends

[@silence79]

Just beautiful, so happy to have bumped into this unexpected duet. Truly amazing singers.

[@manmade28]

That performance was priceless. I love them both!

[@maryannewalker3648]

This is what greatness looks and sounds like. Perfection personified. Well done ladies.

[@secretivesomebody]

I really loved the voices as they aged. It’s like the wisdom enriched their taken even further to feel the songs the way they do!

[@monicabella7894]

Vocally they were at best in their beginnings!

[@ABCDuwachui]

@@monicabella7894 I have to agree I enjoy the richness, depth, and darkness that came with age. Age and time also bring about a different interpretation to a song that isn’t as translatable when just starting off.

[@monicabella7894]

@@ABCDuwachui All vocalists are definitely the best in their prime. Some are for certain expressions, depth of feelings later on great, but vocally not.

[@bradly2007]

@@monicabella7894 Got to experience both in concert too many times to recall they were always in their prime

[@manuelfraiman5534]

@@monicabella7894 sure, but... is this badly sung? And anyway, is the recording the best possible with their actual voices? certainly not... at least , it's good we have it

WOW. Just WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@davidwhitehurst568]

One of the greatest duets ever in any category

[@DrewWasMe]

This is just pure heaven and great music. I always knew Sarah and Carmen were friends. It's just fantastic to see them performing together and to hear how they both adapted to each other's sound and technique spontaneously as the great jazz singers they were!

[@pynkfreud]

Wish I could be in a room listening to this with all the other commenters here. It can be hard to find people who share such deep appreciation for this piece and these two phenomenal ladies.

Good God! This is too good. 2 out of 3 favorite jazz and blues singers. There are no words to describe my feelings about these two extraordinary women. I love them immensely. Thank you for posting this video.

@danielrobinson9270 ...Excuse me! Blues singers?

[@user-ny6hz1wq8s]

What did I do to deserve hearing these beautiful Queen's sing this great tune! Long live Sarah and Carmen!

wow my two favorite geniuses. if there is a heaven they r both up there giving concerts

[@chazzjazz6906]

Great duet, 2 super talents... Sassy Sarah is immortal! ❤

This is such a treat! The musicality, oh wow!

[@beatriceyoung161]

The last half and a minute of this performance is truly DIVINE

[@TruthSerum101]

WOW!!!!!! I knew they had sung together before, but I had no idea this footage existed! Thanks so much for posting this gem!

[@EmilianoLoconsolo]

They're in awe with each other, and you can tell by the sheer joy they express. I wish this eagerness of sharing the music among jazz musicians would still happen nowadays...

[@direfranchement]

They weren't in awe, but they were friends and respected each other. As singers however, they're just so different I just don't think pairing them works very well.

[@claudiasiefer8495]

@@direfranchement I concur. This was just a gimmick. And honestly, why not?

[@blackurbangardeningsociety3328]

My two favorite vocalist! Love this!

[@RichardMcWolff]

Love to see this restored and that weird label on the screen removed. This is a classic, no one owns it and these ladies DESERVE an HD version of this wonderful duet!

[@robhaythorne4464]

Never got to see either one live. Just as well, I suppose. The maintenance crew would have needed several mops to absorb my happy tears.

[@davidgray9671]

it just doesn't get any better than this!!

[@irvinggreines822]

Gorgeous beyond description. Two mature singers revealing exactly what maturity and incredible interpretative talent bring to the table.

[@DavidGreen-gs6bn]

Magnifique!!!

[@josephcivitano4159]

first time seeing this.....blown away.

[@peterandreadakis3851]

There was a radio station out on Long Island back in the 50s/60s that played nothing but McRae recorded music. Kinda like William B. Williams who played Sinatra recordings exclusively every afternoon from WNEW in the Big Apple. Can't say any of these great singers were favorites of mine in a time of a heavy downtown jazz scene at Slugs, the Blue Note, Village Vanguard, the Village Gate, etc.; and Birdland and the scene around Times Square. Jazz clubs everywhere. William B., who had a great on air voice, was one of the best jocks of his time, kindly, responsive to listeners and fans. Who knew it would be over so soon!

[@davidmiller4078]

Both top class acts in their own right rare treat to discover this double bubble ballad on You tube cheers maybe social media media isant all bad ? Lol
