I just listened to this in memory of my Mother who recently passed away… she loved this song and Sarah Vaughn… Rest Power to both Miss Sarah & my dear Mother ❤❤

[@charlesbarry6730]

Sarah, Billie ,Ella and Carmen were in a class of their own.

[@browningbelgium1705]

with no competition.

[@russpilgrim7774]

Perfection, simply Perfection. Sarah Vaughn is the Gold Standard. What a pleasure to listen to a true Master of her craft. BRAVO!

[@harrietjohnson1930]

I so agree.

[@browningbelgium1705]

Effortless!!

[@michaelchapman4955]

'Sarah Vaughan walked into an LA Jazz SFV supper club one night at about 1030 & the house pianist, Karen Hernandez after a few mins offered Sarah the Mic... & Sarah obliged, such was an unanticipated extra treat for all of us

[@spectrumlocalb191]

THIS IS HOW THIS SONG SHOULD BE SUNG.

[@murph5438]

I never get tired of saying it ---- she remains the greatest female singer America ever had ---- go on girl

[@browningbelgium1705]

True that!!

[@judefoote7566]

Absolutely!!!

[@taddyd1]

Except for her idol Ella

[@mr.m8123]

AND could have been the finest mezzo-soprano of our time if she'd gone in the operatic direction. But then again, look what happened to Paul Robeson....

[@stephanieskyes5777]

And Ella Fitzgerald as well as Betty Carter ❤❤

[@Cleow33]

This woman was a jazz genius.

[@2dasimmons]

Yes, Sarah Vaughan was THE MOST. That's why she was called DIVINE.

[@browningbelgium1705]

Born for it!!

[@fredferd965]

She was one of those very rare wonderful people who somehow lived the song while she sang it.... so beautiful!!!

[@TheRudydog1]

As a singer and a person I can't think of anyone who can top Sarah!

[@TCBElvisAPresley]

She was wonderful. I think that's the single most beautiful song ever written -- and the saddest ever written. The lyrics are haunting. Somehow the writers created that very rare piece of magic. That kind of supernatural song doesn't happen very often. It _sounds_ like what heartbreak _feels_ like.

[@politicalpartyagnostic268]

This brings tears to my eyes. Sarah was so wonderful. The best of times. It doesn’t get better than this.

[@spectrumlocalb191]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HOW SARAH AT THE BEGINNING CARED SO MUCH ABOUT THE AUDIENCE THAT SHE APOLOGIZED THAT THEY HAD TO BE BEHIND HER BUT TOLD THEM SHE WOULD BE RIGHT BACK WITH THEM. SHE THEN SAID SHE HATED BUILDINGS THE HAD AUDIENCES BEHIND THE ARTIST. SARAH HAS ALOT OF CLASS. GOD BLESS HER.

[@leashgang1]

Effortless! Like breathing….The day she died, I pulled over and wept for an hour! I had been sustaining myself on the promise of an ever-growing supply of new SV recordings to discover. I’m still finding new gems like this one. Still brings joy, undiluted!

[@toyne38]

Ahh, how I miss these great singers, Peggy Lee, Jo Stafford, Ella, and all the other greats!

[@esterwiesnerova6002]

i just love how she treats the long notes - you don't fell like she's showing off ("look how long i can hold the note!"), but every single note has its meaning.

[@richardcondon3797]

There is something in her voice so comforting and warm she welcomes you in, traps you in a web a web of extreme brain waves that echo on and on. Never bring me back.

[@ionone1962]

She's got the whole range to perfection.....

[@TrudiL13]

Exquisite rendition of this beautiful tune. My favorite of all versions I’ve ever heard.

[@harrietjohnson1930]

Check out my favorite, DeeDee Bridgewater’s version.

[@bettysnow6309]

Love Sarah Vaughan,love Her voice control on this song.

[@youkali22]

Many thanks - and this shows once again - what a great sense humor she had and played with in every single way!

[@davidburton3072]

My whole life passed by just now

[@josephcivitano4159]

Incomparable Sarah...No words.

[@blackpoolram]

A favourite of my great friend Bob, who passed away recently. We hope to play this at his funeral service. RIP, Bob.

[@spectrumlocalb191]

Bramwell Nash YOUR MAKING ME CRY WITH YOUR STATEMENT. GOD BLESS BOB.

[@mysterytrain3]

What gorgeous, natural phrasing...beautiful...

[@71490rec]

Bravo, excellent...!!!

[@richardcondon3797]

oh sarah, you are a queen and supreme among all singers. this woman played the instrument like none other. the range, the vibrato, the ability to pin a song against the composers wall...she did it magically. roc

[@browningbelgium1705]

She could sing me a lullaby anytime and i'd drift off to sleep.

[@murph3001]

Indeed

[@matthewapsitis6953]

Beautiful

[@karenreardon5398]

Sarah is still one of my very favorite singers. 😊

[@BicyclePhil]

Sarah Vaughn....brilliant

[@TheRudydog1]

A piece of sheet music never had it so good!

[@snowstorm1956]

Come rain, come shine..Sara you are "Absolute!".. My Thanks for this clip, Enjoyed

[@bradly2007]

Sarah matured doing her greatest singing 1969 on, early 70's Troubadour appearances started about a five year run of up close events that luckily experienced numerous times, never has there been a singer to equal what the Divine One did with her voice plus rhythm & timing fierce and incomparable, when the Sassy One hit a scat watch out for the ride of a lifetime on a great voice, miss those wonderful times making these sublime live clips a complete lasting joy to be enjoyed over and over again...

[@ionone1962]

I just think she is truly amazing ....

[@karlbeilstein8774]

I love this beautiful song. I have heard many great versions of it by some of the best vocalists ever. When all is said and done, Sarah Vaughan owns this one!!!

[@rnaldfshr]

Vocal acrobatics put to music.Amazing.

[@srfgrn]

Smooth as butter!

[@jorahkeys9310]

Incredible performance ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@andretremblay]

Beautiful!

[@maryhelenfein196]

Voice like smoke. I saw her once in Philly, never forget. Thanks Mikeo. Love to you.

[@caseinpoint5776]

I caught her at her last appearance at the Hollywood Bowl years ago. Sassy was great that night. By the way, be sure to check out Nancy Wilson's version. I think it's the best.

[@carolederkach]

Koo

[@maydavalle]

❤️Love Sarah Vaughan

[@raymondhanks9826]

She was so SPECIAL !!!

[@thearabianmage]

Class, class class class.

[@63iodine]

What a talent i love her voice

[@erwienchen]

göttliche stimme. dieser song von sarah berührt mich tief in der seele

[@worldweary7531]

I just want to hug her! LOL!

[@susanplunkett2203]

So exciting. No one comes close.

[@michaelbradley7595]

Her phrasing is always impeccable. Listen to her version of Send in the Clowns . . . . . . Exquisite. Delores Gray sang Here's That Rainy Day originally on Broadway in 1953 and her 1977 performance of it on KZbin is glorious.

[@arnieus866]

Quincy Jones' favorite singer. Maybe mine too. Perfection.

[@robertdelapaz6848]

Just beautiful 💕

[@GRHCU]

Funny, that rainy day is here!! Sarah let's us know the clouds are gathering.....

[@noreenjackson6590]

Sass, George and Andy gone. Harold still playing great. This was my favorite trio with Sass.

[@vivianrossignon6620]

A jazz giant! I love love love this version of rainy day, but another great version, none other than Natalie Cole. ❤

[@kamaloj]

Miss you so much Sassy.

[@brendamccarthy1718]

Superb

[@richardcondon3797]

The one thing you can say about Sarah is that she did it her way and that was usually good enough to set a standard for any singer to try to reach. When I first heard her in the 40's and 50's I couldn't figure it out but I've since learned.

[@johnnylyons3377]

Artists who can make a standard their own can be counted on one hand and perhaps even three fingers - Sinatra, Holiday and Vaughan. It's invidious comparing such greats but if I had to choose between that trio I'd plump for Vaughan. She had a nuanced strength and sensitivity that seems to be uniquely supreme or perhaps supremely unique. She may well have been a genius.

[@julesmonroe47]

She really was !

[@savubobaru7441]

A VERY BEAUTIFUL INTERPRETATION .

[@bahadrbalc563]

ı love you Sarah ı cant listen this song from anyone but you

[@tedwhitus]

I love her. She is unique and is Americana herself. Perfect inflections and voice.

[@andreasdischer7491]

Greetings from Jazznet Spandau 2020 !

[@jsphotos]

Perfection

[@hallgeirpedersen4331]

Loss for words.

[@crisusf25]

Awesome song👏👏👏👏❤️♥️💓💗😍😘💕🧡💜💛💚💙❣️💖💞💝💜🧡💛💚💙❤️

[@jpochervina6795]

Tremendous range and control. She did a wonderful story-telling with the lyrics, instead of just firing through it.

[@Tj-ho2fs]

This is my favorite version, with Nat King Cole's version right behind.

[@guitargod6997]

The amazing Sissy! What is unusual to me, however, is how much her voice darkened and deepened over the decades. Would love to hear input from female singers on this phenomenon, realizing that male tenors often darken to baritones as years go by.

[@rochellehowlett2700]

I think the deepening of her voice made her sound more mature! She simply used her lower register more: hear her with Mr. B when he was ill, he DID his notes--just beautiful, I loved her in all her generations--a complete genius!🎤🎹🎶🎵🎼💖💝💞❤💎💅💄👠👑My name is Rochelle Thompson and I'm a Jazz Singer in Harlem, USA!

[@GRHCU]

Sassy... indeed!!

[@meikelkreuz3447]

Traum!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stephanieskyes5777]

Love her

[@eEdJones]

The divine one, Sarah Lois Vaughan !

[@tedbrittingham8707]

Brilliant.

[@rdelapaz5004]

Stunning ❤

[@garymoreland1953]

Intoxicating

[@CorradoLentinello-y1n]

Sarah the best.

[@ccaammiinniiito2]

Ya know, I'm listening to all the singers doing this immortal and honestly I can't say, "she does it the best." No. Like each dancer who partnered with Astaire and Kelly, each singer brings his/her set of musical fingerprints and emotion to the song that just CAN'T be compared to another's.

[@ojshilinski8358]

Jay Young You are right, Jay. But she's the only one that broght tears to my eyes and an ache in my solar plexus.........

[@richardcondon3797]

+Jay Young correct !

[@miltonbroome9725]

Saw her perform in Atlanta with Bobby Short at the Fox. No one like her.

[@valeriemoore3852]

Love you

[@fernandaquindere7456]

Genial..

[@paulharty3081]

Beyond category!

[@DavidGraff-h5w]

Delicately holding back the reins of that 6 horse team of wild mustangs that is her voice.

[@bigtopvoice2197]

Who the hell disliked this?!

I wish she would sing it like it's written
