A Hundred Years From Today ..... Maxine Sullivan 1986

[@thomashampton758]

Maxine was one of the greatest and most underrated jazz vocalists ever. She was truly a treasure who rates up there will all of the greats..

[@cdevereaux7]

Thank you for posting this. Maxine was my mentor and also (most importantly) my friend. Whoever mentioned in these comments that the song was important to her is 100% correct. I know because she actually said that to me. I got to work with the guitarist on this video (Chris Flory) because of an introduction by Maxine. She was a good person and one thing she also did was have me sing with her at non-paying charity programs - because she cared so much for people. Great singer.....great Lady!

[@kjmav10135]

Wow! What a privilege to have learned from her! I knew of her because my Dad loved Jimmie Lunceford, and she sang with Lunceford's band occasionally. Thank you for sharing this experience. She was amazing--such incredible phrasing.

[@Sheilanagig]

She gives off a good person vibe. Her smile reaches her eyes. I heard her for the first time today and realized that everyone from the 30's on was trying to steal her act. I don't think any of them succeeded. They couldn't hold a candle to that voice. How cool that you got to know her.

[@joselezama8552]

Blessing for you

[@nathan4350]

Thank you for writing this. 😊😊

[@TheStarwar5]

As others have said what an amazing privilege to have known this supremely talented woman! From your description she sounds like a lovely Christian woman. She was such an “iron-woman” who outlasted almost all her contemporaries and could still command a song 50 years after she began her illustrious career.

[@PieInTheSky9]

Her voice aged like fine wine

[@early60srcool]

The voice still smooth as silk! She's great!

[@1tabt]

Maxine Sullivan still had the voice, the style and the swing. Thank you for posting this remarkable clip.

[@RandallWeaver]

That was so good. Maxine is my favorite female singer for 20+ years now. I love the way she acknowledges the guys in the band, and the way she swings while band members solo.

[@davidlehman9149]

One of the greatest of all carpe diem songs. And she nails it.

[@coostunes9733]

Maxine Sullivan - just one of the reasons why I love music!!! What a beautiful artist!

[@zerblis]

Me too!

[@bh5606]

At 75, she sounds better than the current crop at any age.

[@4205lr]

Saw her in London 1974. She was great and age never dimmed her voice.

[@manuelruiz6024]

My, how old might she be? Such a wonderful voice. And she sings with a particular smile that puts heavenly essence to the song. I am thankful for getting to know you and listening to your wonderful voice.

[@helluvagun]

A voice close to what any jazzlady would want to achieve!

[@TyStephens]

How strong and vital her voice remained until the end, it seems!! Just gorgeous! That's a pro!! This was a year before her passing! Wow!

[@Laygate1960]

My first jazz concert in 1970. I was 10 . I can hardly remember what you looked like. I loved what you did with Dick Hyman in 1993. 'Sealed in vain' from William Shakespeare. If you don't know this recording then please listen to it. It made me cry it is so beautiful.

[@sandraprado9991]

Ohhhhh I love her......great Maxine Sullivan !!!!!

[@afrogirl757]

Her voice sounds rich with perfection at 75 when this was taped.

[@joybreeden366]

[@mariohorta1]

Maravilhosa essa vovó Maxine Sullivan. Adorei !

[@johnlavery6116]

Superb all time artist. Simply great...Ireland

[@ovestrandberg8126]

my one and only..miss you constantly

[@danawoolfolk]

+Ove Strandberg Did you know my aunt?

[@ovestrandberg8126]

+Dana Woolfolk Yes if Maxine was your aunt you do know what a marvelous person she was. We met here in Stockholm Sweden in l976 and kept a close contact until she passed away in May l987. Unfortunately did not Paula keep her promise to stay in contact with me. And do you know if The House that jazz built still exists?

[@danawoolfolk]

+Ove Strandberg Her son Orville was running the house that Jazz Built. My mother used to stay in contact with him until she passed a few years ago, but we haven't been in touch since she passed. I grew up on her music and stayed at her house in the Bronx when we visited NYC. When she was here in DC, she preferred to stay with us while performing at blues alley. A truly gentle soul and a great singer.

[@ovestrandberg8126]

+Dana Woolfolk Dana, thanks a lot for the information..i thought that it was Paula who took over. if you ever plan to make it over here, please contact me. i´ve lots of privat things like photos and letters to show you. And i was of great help when Ted Ono produced the documentary video over her and her career.. I dare say that Maxine was perhaps the closest friend i ever had, something that created a jealousy from my ex-wife over the years. And during those years when Maxine was the mascot of the annual Skeppsholmen Jazz Festival here in Stockholm i had to take a week of to be there at her assistance

[@paulamorris6867]

Ove Strandberg. Paula here. Wow, how good it is to hear of you. I am on facebook Paula Williams Morris

[@ginnymitchell4960]

[@lespeate1906]

She could give singers half her age a run for their money! Too bad that she's no longer with us.

[@infondoalparco]

Meravigliosa..

[@cdevereaux7]

@PhysicsProf1 Yes I was blessed to know Maxine and have her as a mentor. You can see a picture of me singing with her at my website. I dedicated my first album to her. I can't seem to write out the site's name here - but if you go to my channel there is a link. Peace & Blessings
