Just to think I was born a few years later. My beautiful late mother used to sing this song all the time while doing household chores until the Young and Restless came on. Every time I hear it I think of my mother and my great childhood.

Just when I thought I’ve heard/seen every performance of hers of this song!

She's looking like Lauryn Hill 😍 In this sense

She was gorgeous in 1953 and her voice did rival Whitney's in my opinion 💕

[@dylanwashington2419]

I want to believe there is a connection because even Dionne knew her when she was a child and referred to her as "Auntie Sarah". They all were from East Orange New Jersey and got their hair done at the same salon

[@BlueBeeMCMLXI]

LOL. Different planets. Whitney is a pop singer. You, oh forget it.

[@rayangreene]

@@BlueBeeMCMLXI Actually, she was a gospel singer originally. You, oh forget it!

[@fredbloggs6080]

There was no comparison in their voices, Sarah, was far more accomplished vocally. She was also a pianist. Whitney mainly just had a good strong belting voice, but lacked the ability to modulate between her soft voice and her belting voice--it was either one or the other.

Whitney was not in the same league as the woman. Sarah Vaughan was phenomenal!
