From the first note, there's no mistaking her. One of the greatest of all time.

[@jesperrasmussen510]

And this specific performance is a world class performance...

[@virghammer1]

Not “one of,” to most jazz aficionados. THE Greatest. Sassy! The Divine One! We love you, Sarah. ♥️ ☮️ 🙏🏼 ✌🏽. So glad you younger generations can appreciate the sheer wonder of her once-in-many-lifetimes Voice. Keep up the Good Listening to Sassy - She left us 48 unmatched albums and 89 CLASSIC singles! - Cheers from Newark, NJ ( Sarah’s hometown). 😊 ❤

[@musiclover-ev7jn]

Her vibrato is more of a vibrato/tremalo mix, half-pitch, half-volume. It's something you hear sometimes in horns and saxophones, but not the human voice. She was next level.

[@dylangintherofficial]

Unmissable

[@nakrat11]

Sarah Vaughan, what can we say - the control, the vibrato, the creativity, professionalism, so amazing!

[@annparsons3458]

Her rendition of "Key Largo." Awesome.

[@tebindack]

All my troubles disappear when I hear her sing. Nice reaction.

[@thadiusplug7666]

one of humankind's greatest pieces of art....sublime

[@Rosyid2040]

She truly was "The Divine One". One of the most important jazz singers in music history. Her magnificent standards are "Make Yourself Comfortable" "It's Magic" "Just a Little Lovin'" "Black Coffee" and soooo many Funny random fact: she once said "I'm not a jazz singer"😅

[@virghammer1]

…and she also had that adorable, smart, hilarious and RELAXED, sense of humor., unique only to her. 😃. She was not nicknamed “Sassy” for nothin’! ❤

[@RobinZipporah]

Composer is Erroll Garner who was a pianist with his own musical group.

[@xaviotesharris891]

Oh, God, I feel such fellow-feeling with someone who's just hearing Sarah Vaughan for the first time. It's astounding how rich and deep and pure her singing is.

[@kurtiswichmann4699]

Man, I have several of Miss Vaughan's albums. There is NONE better to relax to after a hard day than her beautiful voice.

[@dixiereinhardt3949]

She was magnificent

[@thudthedestroyer515]

What always BLOWS MY BRAIN TO PURPLE STATES OF WAH, is her ability to smoothly transistion volume and power to soft smooth quieter tones without loosing any of the sound quality. Listening to her sing TENDERLEY is a perfect example of how she could make ANGELS cry!

[@AP-gb3eh]

Her album singing Gershwin is amazing. I’ve loved her my whole life

[@robertcurry7664]

She’s an absolute goddess. I’ve been in love with her for nearly 40 years. One of, if not THE greatest vocalist of the 20th century…Ella Fitzgerald thought she was the best too…I think it was Miles Davis who said “she did things with her voice that trumpet players wouldn’t dare try”…Sarah, Billie, Ella, Nina and Leontyne Price (if you don’t know Leontyne, you’re in for a treat….she practically owned the role of Aida…a very great artist and great lady) were (and still are) my idols…they taught me what great artistry was. Listen to Sarah’s “Over the rainbow”…she elevates it beyond measure. Thanks for your posts, I really enjoy watching your reactions. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@helgar791]

Sarah, Billie, Nat, Ella, and Frank were representative of a time when the lyric ruled and those that interpreted that lyric where its Kings and Queens. It was a time when every syllable was important, each word was clearly pronounced. When these Kings and Queens respected the composer, the music and their audience. Their job was to tell the story as they saw it and convey that story to the audience. Each of these people of royalty did it their own way, but none of them ever talked down or dressed down to the listener. It was a music made for and sung to adults. Sarah's strengths were her incredible timbre, range, ease of delivery, interpretive abilities and personability. Ella, Nat, Billie and Frank each had their own style, strengths and personalities, but each made it seem as if they were singing directly to you. For contrast of styles, try Johnny Mathis doing this same song.

[@hopefulone3599]

Amen, Amen

[@willthorson4543]

That 40s thru around 1968 had some amazing singers like Julie London, Jim Reeves, Gary Gray, Andy Willians and so many more. No matter the genre, they knew how to sell a song but did it there way with respect. Just like what you said

[@williamwebb7917]

Her singing puts me into a state of euphoria.

[@AABB-cn4yk]

The greatest of all time Sassy, my fave

[@amileoj9043]

Sarah Vaughan's vibrato...was one of the wonders of the modern world. It is as you say all about control--pitch, timbre, rhythm, dynamics--it does what she wants it to do, and what she wants is unerringly gorgeous music. Also, before she became (altogether justifiably) "The Divine One," she was simply "Sassy," and you get a lot of that here--this great Erroll Garner tune always brought out her playful side. Thank you so much for this reaction!

[@donovanrobinson1843]

She was actually Dionne Warwicks God Mom. Amazing given the caliber of Dionne and Whitney

[@donovanrobinson1843]

@Devon Hawkins-Anderson yes she talked about it in a interview with CBS in 2019

[@donovanrobinson1843]

@Devon Hawkins-Anderson that family was emerged in talent no wonder they were the caliber of vocalists that we knew. Born into that family it was your birthright to sing

[@MostlyVintageVoices]

The legendary operatic soprano Leontyne Price is also a cousin to Dionne and Whitney...their gene pool must have the "Stradivarius vocal chords" gene!

[@CrypticConversions]

She's a legend.

[@craigwhittaker928]

If you want to hear her at her best, listen to "Send in the clowns"! It speaks to your very soul. Makes you cry like a baby x

[@elmira1981]

Queen!

[@monaboutet6863]

She's a legend!!!

[@georgesheffield1580]

"THE" legend .and this take is it.

[@victorcowboywest]

"Sassy " made the Erroll Garner classic just as beautiful as Erroll did on the piano and gives Johnny Mathis a run for his money. She one of the big four ( Ella, Carmen, Della) in my opinion in the jazz world.

[@NIJEECAPRICORN23]

The Divine One

[@charlestillie243]

I just love Sarah Vaughan one of her real classics was broken hearted Melody

[@luisalbertocalla6649]

Sarah is the Best! ❤❤❤

[@Fontsman]

From and era that will never again be matched. This is the gold standard.

[@josephrocha142]

Love Sara Vaughn!

[@drunettaspencer1308]

I saw her live a few years before her death. Amazing

[@okay5045]

Class and style ❤ her nickname was Sassy and The Divine One

[@williamharvey4732]

Now 75 yo. My father , from 30-40's, taught me alabout jazz singers and dancing too. He a mom were champions.

[@davidnaquin6914]

She is beautiful

[@geoffreymetcalf6291]

She is the GOAT. All genres. All Times. She is in my Top 5 female singers.

[@mssuziquzi]

Love her to bits. I played "Close to you" at my mother's funeral. A voice to die for.❤

[@dylangintherofficial]

One of the best

[@xaviotesharris891]

You really, really, really need to watch her performance of "Maria" (from West Side Story) that she did at this same concert in Sweden.

[@barblessable]

Amy Winehouse listened to all her records and you can hear it , Sarah used her voice like a sax or a horn in the band. beautiful .

[@gabchaim8232]

Truly THE 'Maria Callas' of JAZZ

[@CDawg]

I think you should react to her rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". For me it is revelatory and the DEFINITIVE version.

[@stephanieskyes5777]

She was the best!!

[@connorduke4619]

Saraha does pretty mean version of the jazz standard "Summertime" as well folks.

[@tylerhackner9731]

Stellar 🔥🔥

[@martinsinfield42]

You have just been in the presence of greatness!

[@GaylynnKalama-pp4iu]

Miss Sarah, a true treasure! Her phrasing was famous! Check out Dinah Washington, another treasure!

[@ericfluellen8957]

I think you will also enjoy Sarah Vaughan singing a song called "Dreamy."

[@lauriejones8082]

Perfection ❤

[@musiconlyplease98]

She was a singer... amongst singers

[@Rosannasfriend]

She was one of the best.

[@mkpmacdonald]

You gotta respect the queen

[@AuntieMamies]

Sarah Vaughan is the best vocalist in history imo. And that's saying something because Billie Holiday also existed. But Sarah was just so smooth and her vibrato was unparalleled. She had a cold this night! This is her singing with a cold!! All that needs to be said

[@sersastark]

Vaughan is "vahn" aka The Divine One!

[@avesraggiana]

You thought that was great, you should watch her live performance of “The Shadow of Your Smile”, accompanied by the Bob James Trio. Her live rendition is singular.

[@marilynburgess7349]

If you listen to "Dedicated to You" ,a duet with the incredible Billy Eckstine, you'll think you died & went to heaven! For her operatic side, "My Man's Gone Now" from "Porgy and Bess" kills. For her jazz side, "Key Largo" just carries you away. She's truly one of a kind.🎶🎼🎵🎤🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@chaiyehovah7031]

Thanks for reacting to Sarah Vaughn. What an incredible performance! Matchless. She was so charismatic and humble. She shared that she was nervous with the audience because she developed a cold on the day she was being recorded and televised. She was known for her VOICE and to have a cold was going to limit her vocally. Sarah Vaughn was one of the greatest vocalist of all time! They called her the "Divine Sarah" and 'Sassy". Her voice was like an instrument. She was a vocal stylist and painter of words. She had an incredible tone, articulation, and vibrato. The resonance! She was well celebrated in her day. However, there was such racism and colorism, she did not receive as much television airtime and opportunities commercially as others such as Ella Fitzgerald the Queen of Scat and Lena Horne who were lighter in complexion. Sarah Vaughn also scatted. She was well received overseas. She was loved here as well. Just an incredible God-given gift and she mastered her craft! It's too bad she isn't as celebrated and recognized today. She is not well known outside of Jazz circles. She's up in the top 20 voices and vocalist of all time, maybe the top 10. This is just pure vocals without mastering and auto-tuning. What a voice and what a wonderful person! Thanks again for your reaction

[@kurtiswichmann4699]

BTW That's Hoochi Coo's song. Look him up. He's a fantastic piano man. Look him up. His music was used in the movie "PLAY MISTY FOR ME" including this song. Clint Eastwood plays a late night DJ with a nut girl killer after him. You won't sleep afterwards.

[@nlsantiesteban]

Anita Baker modeled her technique off of Sarah Vaughn.

[@kimramsavas8464]

This makes me so proud to be African. These were the gifts of the ancestors.

[@williamharvey4732]

Now 75 yo. My father , from 30-40's, taught me about jazz singers and dancing too. He and mom were champions.

[@jimmybalantyne5545]

La Davina. The epitome of all that's great.

[@jonquist9950]

She's one of my favorite singers.

[@brgilbert2]

I have one album by Sarah, certainly one of my favorites. Alot of the performers were what you call "nice people" back then, even the blacks even though what they faced can be classified as not nice. They carried themselves with grace and style and boy could they sing.

[@leehill5489]

"...even the blacks...". You sound pretty racist, buddy.

[@jamescurran9002]

Check out "Sassys Blues" or the whole album "How long has this been going on?" Sarah Vaughn is my personal choice for GOAT.

[@RobinZipporah]

Next, check Johnny Mathis' version of MISTY... BEAUTIFUL ❤️

[@frsh6272]

Thank you!!

[@robertphelps1574]

You check out the original instrumental version by Errol Garner he was amazing on the piano

[@Aurora-cv5to]

From the era before auto tune. If you wanted to impress, you actually had to be good. She was extraordinary.

[@wacka40]

Im glad you dug this one man. I saw Sarah at the Sydney Opera House in the early 80s. Front row. Never forget it . Here's some left field vocal jazz for ya. Gday from down under kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZWWfHuBaq-eaNU

[@mycolortv1]

She is straight outta my city...BRICK CITY NEWARK

[@johnandrews3151]

Ray Stevens made a country cover of Misty in the mid 70's and hit the country and the pop charts with his version.

[@sersastark]

Please do hers "broken hearted melody"!!!!

[@RobinZipporah]

I appreciate this video - I'd truly like it better if the videographer wouldn't keep interrupting the song with his comments and await the songs ending. Our younger generation unfortunately is far too unaware of our African American singers from the Golden Age of performers; not to mention our rich vocal and musical history. Pronunciation is indeed: Vaughan, (Vahn) silent g in both spellings, with and without the a.

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Sassy was about as good as good gets. She was my dad's favorite female singer. Now go find Nancy Wilson singing "The Very Thought of You" on TV's "Hollywood Palace" show. It'll make the hair on your arms stand up. Seriously. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIOugWCnmq-pjLc And while you're discovering her, you'll want to hear her biggest hit, "How Glad I Am," here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZuTZniPZ8aDbas

[@kirk5487]

Sass was/is the best to ever do it.

[@normanradio]

How are things

[@allengje]

Sassy

[@map_too_my_heart3188]

Please listen review send in the clowns

[@jorgesigler8296]

Good job I love me some sarah v also check out Eddie gorme or Doris day thanks I'm binge watching your reactions

[@jorgesigler8296]

Sorry Eydie Gorme

[@didntpassananan6569]

Fantasia did SANG this song too......

[@shihlin1]

When you listen to Sarah Vaughan, you get the WHOLE musical treatment, she sings the scales of the piano from low to high and back to low in an instant. This kind of musical experiment you just don't hear anymore in today's music scene. The ladies from yesteryear, you hear their voices in all its glory and as it were. Nowadays it's all beats and studio wizardry. Really sad today's music is not so much music but a bunch of crap

[@laidman2007]

Pronounce Vaughn as if it were spelled 'vawn'.

[@jibsmokestack1]

Sarah Vegan? Lol
