Sarah Vaughan - Over the rainbow

Sarah Vaughan - Over the rainbow

[@410bassman]

It's not just a beautiful performance, it's an intelligent one. She's restrained, but powerful in her restraint. She moves the melody around, but just enough to be engaging and not to sound like she's "jazzing it up." And her expression -- oh my. Her eyes convey such vulnerability and yet sophistication. THAT'S what it takes to be not just a talented performer, but a truly GREAT performer. Balance, a clear sense of where you're going and how you're going to get there and not one wasted move. Wow

[@hullaballu007]

She was so wonderful.

[@queenlele6193]

Beautiful black woman with a beautiful voice . ❤️

[@hugglescake]

She is SO in control. The band follows her.

[@derekkase7884]

A miracle was filmed on that evening

[@waynerose7]

She looks like she's not even trying. Truly a one-of-a kind voice!

[@ToxicSpazm]

Wayne Rose A vision too. Effortlessly defined and smooth 😊

[@chrismcphatter9524]

Effortless....simply amazing.

[@pbenson56fran]

That's because she played the piano. Being a musician and loving the music it was effortless. She had a gift that made you flow right along with her.

[@user-id3sw1qn7r]

Exactly! ♥️♥️♥️

[@2dasimmons]

Yes! Just beautiful especially with her sense of rhythm akin to Louis Armstrong's in his singing and fabulous playing 😍

[@TristianVH]

She was truly one of a kind✨❤️🥹

[@jazzymorn]

I am only 11 yrs old and she is my favorite singer. what comes around goes around. someday greatness will come back.

[@tiqvahone]

And now you're 18!

[@verahoward9422]

Awww.

[@Torihope1000]

Young lady...you have impeccable musical taste. Sarah was one of a kind.

[@aquariusmoon6927]

Women from this Era.... Just had pure class! And that voice is purely amazing!

[@swingmanic]

She phrased like no other female vocalist in jazz and no one today even gets close!!..Totally unique style.

[@user-id3sw1qn7r]

The best.

[@monicabella7894]

Lady Day comes first!

[@andyt3789]

It's her voice. She's an actual singer. Not a studio creation.

[@ViewerNumber9]

True, she was a marvel....but Ella Fitzgerald will always pull tightest on my heartstrings. Both had unearthly vocal gifts.

[@swingmanic]

Of course you guyz and girlz could always check out Cleo Laine.

[@susix7111]

she sings this so perfectly. and she is totally gorgeous.

[@irenemccann7032]

Her and Ella two of the best.

[@myrthogabriel1567]

Sarah so poised sighing a difficult song. Brilliant! Rest easy beautiful lady

[@DaZeDmerlin]

What a time to be alive, we can enjoy eras long gone, right here in our living room, imagining we were sitting in the audience over 50 years ago.

[@jeanakatherine9369]

DaZeD Merlin Awesum comment!!

[@bumbjtch6669]

And people say they're born in the wrong generation.

[@anthonyakika3945]

You speak the minds of so many which itself is an art

[@theycallmebeautiful3041]

Her voice is so sultry, silky, smooth and full bodied. OMG, her text painting and phrasing lines. She was without one of the very best voice of the century.

[@Bflatblues55]

She had vocal riches beyond compare. She was adorable, sexy and amazingly captivating; what woman wouldn't want for those three qualities? And then she would open her mouth to sing and magic would happen.... Wow. What an inspiration.

[@dakg8034]

Couldn't have been better stated ... The great voice of the sassy Sarah Vaughan.

[@thejerseyj1636]

Bflatblues55 Amen.

[@lanarey863]

Her voice is soft yet so textured, I love how she can convey emotion whilst maintaining a silky tone.

[@Zepo1is]

Incomparable! What more can be said about Sarah Vaughan than what has been said a million times?

[@blanknalblanknalb]

she was ridiculously gifted and beautiful!

[@floraline7153]

The greatest singer, maybe ever. Thank you for rescuing me, Sarah, for elevating my tastes, for making that hour or two in which I listen to you eclipse shining pain or confusion when they surface. You live forever.

[@alexoliver4222]

Hello 👋 Florine How are you doing today

[@zj7124]

It just doesn’t get any better than this

[@jjjddd3993]

I'm a grown man and this song makes tears flow down

[@Amileoj]

Heart stoppingly beautiful rendition of one of Harold Arlen's most beautiful tunes. To take a song this well-known, and this closely associated with another performer, and to make it so completely one's own, while preserving and even heightening its essential melodic character, is a minor miracle. But then this is Sarah Vaughan, whose voice was among the most miraculous instruments in the history of American song.

[@mitchgrube2480]

Divine Sarah could sing the alphabet and i would get chills. Her voice----her voice---

[@cykirk2010]

How sweet she was , how less is more . we miss you Sarah.

[@bitsywillmott6881]

How I miss this one of a kind musician! Thanks for saving videos for us!

[@shriniwaschopde1025]

Does't sara look stunningly beautiful? And a heavenly voice

[@pjbassman2253]

Seriously? Can anyone even compare to this woman? She is beyond comparison.

[@peterfeltham5612]

The finest singer of the 'jazz' ballad ever.A wonderful artist,listened to her since the 50s.

[@davidj1210]

She was so beautiful. Pure class.

[@daddyeyez740]

Sarah, Ella and others like them are certainly not appreciated enough in this current time. RIP Miss Vaughn. Newark's own.

[@ΑνΕμ]

I love her relaxed expressions.

[@paulgottlieb]

Oh, to be in a little night club on a cold winter's evening and to hear Sarah and that great trio live!

[@claudettej.7930]

The only singer in my life that ever made me cry. First time I heard her sing "Send in the Clowns, I was a waterfall. That wasn't the only one. Her voice is so, so perfect, so beautiful ... truly a marvelous gift.

[@alexoliver4222]

Hello 👋 Claudette How are you doing today

[@cherylrobinson1885]

I got to hear her sing Send In The Clowns live

[@arusu1806]

I wanna cry every time I hear her. Her voice touches me every time.

[@CBHS1962]

yes

[@philpryor7524]

It's as extraordinary as any performance in jazz singing, all time quality music, in fact. No singer seems to have had the gifts of Sarah, whose melimatics, intonation, pitch, phrasing, name it, were superb. It's a case of rejoice and be grateful for a gifted soul.

[@andresrtorres6895]

Sarah, Tops in every aspect! I listened as a teenager, and was captivated, no magnetized. I watch and listen now, as an old man, with a great deal more knowledge and understanding and appreciation of how the human voice makes beautiful our lives, and I am enthralled more than ever. But I can't believe the beauty you created and left for us. Thanks forever! Special note: THIS WAS LIVE!!

[@laramamea4588]

This makes my eyes water. The most lovely rendition of this song I've ever heard.

[@johnwalker8239]

I believe you are right, and I have heard many renditions, but Sarah's makes my eyes watery!!

[@VinylForest]

Yes, for me too, this is by far the best rendition of this song.

[@grokly]

"...and a gift we will not see the likes of again in the modern world." I completely agree. People would do well to find as much of Sarah as they can.

[@dugoodsspotlights428]

She did what others don't come close to. Such a fantastic talent, and she holds her head straight up. She was a born pro.

[@jblue705]

Lovely rendition...her accolades were well deserved...

[@piustwelfth]

She had a such a unique style and of course an incredible voice. If she had wished, she could have been a great opera star

[@kaka7279100]

YES the MAGNIFICENT Sarah.😍🎼🎤

[@timlang4946]

She made a good life with those pipes of gold . So humble.

[@ANDRO33ful]

Can't think of anyone who says more with a single note...

[@blanknalblanknalb]

She was ridiculously gifted and beautiful!!

[@GodzRicko]

2:56 just makes me shake my head with that face. Such an amazing singer and beautiful interpretation of this song.

[@stephenpaige4359]

Just what I'm thinking - virtually no 'American Idol' can come close to giving a song its due & the respect it deserves

[@goinxnginx]

The contrast between Sarah and, well, just about anyone else, is amazing.

[@strawberrymansion86]

I love her style, music and look. She is gorgeous, glamorous and sophisticated!! I want to wear a gown too. :)

[@geraldjohnson848]

Mar.27: Happy birthday Miss Sarah Vaughn, "The Divine One" (1924-1990) Thank you and God bless. Thanks for the upload, The Divine Sarah Vaughan. Blessings. RIP, Singer

[@shuggarosenbloom5414]

Grew up listening to her in my home...only the best of sounds coming from the house that my mommy and daddy built. House full of soulful sound. Love me some Miss Sarah...her range is fierce.

[@redmercury1159]

i imagine those beautiful earrings being a family heirloom that have been passed down for a couple generations. i imagine if they could talk, they would have much to talk about;) beautiful voice, the one and only Sarah Vaughan

[@sheilafonseca7043]

she took me over the rainbow. Just divine.

[@wellingtonmiddleton3739]

She took us all there Sheila, and left some of us wishing not to return . . . From the beautiful, tranquil Islands of The Bahamas 🌴🏖️🌅🇧🇸

[@rifleguy73]

Effortless talent, beauty, grace, and style...peacebewell.

[@AnaCarvalhodotrafounder]

A pity since there are no more divas like this ... We can not judge what is best, your way, charisma, voice, or the whole set! Exciting!

[@richardcondon3797]

+George Benichou there are some songs, by our favorite singers, that mirror an early reaction we had. it gives us pleasure each time we hear it. that usually defines great art. you just have a finely developed ear.

[@michelleaubert7044]

Thank you for her ............................My angel is not dead and sings always ...........

[@IMAXXSAND]

YOU'VE ABSOLUTELY CAPTURED WHAT I FEEL WHEN I HEAR SARAH VAUGHAN... THE MOST INCREDIBLE VOICE I HAVE EVER BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO HEAR... DJF

[@monicabella7894]

George Benichou ♥

[@misterabby6310]

Yesss how I feel too!

[@elizabethlinsay9193]

Beautiful voice beautiful woman.

[@angelacampos6583]

Thanks God for letting her lived with us ❤

[@darnellplayer743]

Ah... There it is 🔥🔥🔥

[@jamila3274]

sweet jesus, what an angelic voice, so beautiful. She was beautiful. Cant you just hear it.

[@amileoj9043]

Having listened to this dozens of times it's still impossible to overstate how strikingly definitive a performance it is. Once you hear this version of the classic Arlen & Yarburg tune--with all of its emotional force, lyrical nuance, and vocal power & precision--there is no going back; it's the one your ear will forever want to hear when those particular chords are played. To have done that with any great tune is an amazing accomplishment. To have done it with a tune that already had such an indelible and well-known performance associated with it, is nothing short of astonishing.

[@YvonneSnow-rp5br]

You have so eloquently expressed what i feel when i hear Sarah, Ella and Dinah Washington interpret these jazz classics.

[@theodosiamcfaddon6120]

to say that Sarah Vaughan was exquisite beyond description ,is to sat that the sky is blue..its a forgone fact.What a gorgeous woman!! When I hear her voice all I can think is"Beyonce Who?'??? Queen..yeah I don't think so Bey..the title was already taken before you were born.Queen Sarah Vaughan is a voice for the ages.

[@zacharylavender1568]

Her instrument reminds me of a "cello!" Simply lovely!

[@UNEEKMONIQ]

Her voice was like "melted butter".

[@cerval41]

One of the best voice ever Divine Sarah Vaughan!The young Sarah was incomparable!

[@roccosophie6498]

So VERY many talented people in our world. So VERY little time. Thank you for posting this. :)

[@Gracenotesmusic]

Devine Indeed - Sarah Vaughn - just such a wonderful example of a Jazz singer

[@andreabalestra3434]

Una cantante così (di questo livello) in Italia sicuramente non l'abbiamo mai avuta. La perfezione canora fatta persona...

[@salvatorecollura2692]

A masterpiece of expressive abstraction. Where does her soul go when she sings? You can almost see the rainbow in her eyes. Flawless.

[@jacobshumway1708]

You know what I think of this.

[@jacobshumway1708]

I will admit, though, that her voice has a certain Heft to it.

[@salvatorecollura2692]

The heft of a thousand heavens.

[@jimjasper6690]

Sarah Vaughan has been my favotite ever since my yong age. Her duets with Billy Eckstine are famous.

[@43himself]

i never thought to hear any version of this to match judy garland's several; but this is it.

[@fulmensarmiento3496]

Cuando Sarah nos canta acaricia!!! Uno puede escucharla una y otra vez!!! Y sentirse emocionada!!!Particularmente en este tema OVER THE RAINBOW!!!

[@23181850]

How absolutely wonderful Sarah is on this tune.She gives me the shivvers whenever I hear her.I was lucky enough to see her in Glasgow,Scotland on three occasions and have been smitten ever since. The joy of being able still to see her on youtube is just magic. Mant thanks for posting this and all great jazz

[@ThePlayboyLen]

Sublime.

[@RonaldMartin-v2g]

That voice goes straight to the heart. The vibration radiates with the emotion it caries to the heart of the listener. I love Sarah!

[@RonaldMartin-v2g]

Absolutely! You feel her voice in your head and chest!

[@mariaelenacerrelchavez1283]

Desde que la escuché por primera vez me impactó su estilo tan sencillo y su voz...Dios la tenga en su Reino..Un ángel para el cielo se nos fue en 1993

[@kellyorourke2272]

A voice so beautiful, she fills me with childlike hope & then just makes me shake my head and cry......🐺💘🍀

[@paulgottlieb]

That's the beautiful ballad sound that even the greatest sax players try for in vain

[@namtastiic]

3:31 will never fail to give me chills 😍

[@markwhitby629]

Wonderful voice; so sensual and controlled.

[@antonioamato1907]

QUESTA VOCE E QUESTA CANZONE E' ARTE PURA.

[@TGTSTS]

I am 21 years old and would so much more prefer this music over much of what is out there today.

[@jellyfishj1]

Yikes!! she really is THAT GOOD

[@paulholbrook7315]

Greatest voice of the 20th century......

[@OnlyGreatness007]

This is back when performing women were ladies. Very Classy in deed.

[@rolandaguilar294]

Sarah, I never met you, but that is my loss. You are a Goddess.

[@noam6249]

Wonderfully unique voice. Never been another better.
