Carmen McRae in superb form, went to see the great singer many times from 67-91 and never remember "Send In The Clowns" so this clip is a rare treat, legendary lady sounding amazing and looking great! Hugh introduces Carmen as "nearly a legend" then as a popular singer in the 40's yet she hit more by the 50's, by late 70's Carmen had become a Legendary Jazz Diva and World Class entertainer, clearly though it is easy to see Hugh as a complete fan of Carmen McRae and Mr. Downs showcased her beautifully.....

WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 From a mad keen 74yo Aussie fan. In my opinion the finest female Jazz vocalist of all time. The female equivalent of Frank Sinatra--the way she acts out the lyrics.

Carmen was such a musical seamstress and, in popular culture, largely forgotten today. She was so brilliant at interpreting a melody and a lyric and giving it a reading that touched the listener. She was also just a damned good singer.

Songs of disappointment and heartbreak were Carmen's metier.
