Spring will be a little late this year
A little late arriving in my lonely world over here
For you have left me and where is our April love old
You have left me and winter continues cold
As if to say spring will be a little slow to start
A little slow reviving that music it made in my heart
Yes, time heals all things so I needn't cling to this fear
It's merely that spring will be a little late this year
Yes, time heals all things so I needn't cling to this fear
It's merely that spring will be a little late this year

I had only ever heard Ella sing this song until today. My life is changed forever, my heart is full. My horizons have been expanded. I adore Sarah Vaughan! 😍🥰💖

Who has ever sung this any better than Sarah Vaughan -- whatever she sings is perfect ....

[@SteveEmber]

Thanks for sharing this exquisite recording. No affectations in her style, great respect for the Frank Loesser lyric, total musicality. Let's not forget Percy Faith's masterful arrangement. This is as good as it gets!

[@johnb.2518]

Agree on every point...

[@WCaron23001]

It's all there, tone, pronunciation,delivery, etc.

She became one of THE greatest of all time and I have loved her music SO much ever since discovering her. I'm performing 'Spring Will Be a Little Late This Year' soon for a love songs concert here in Portland. Really excited!!

When Bob James was accompanying Sarah Vaughn, he said, "She never made a musical mistake."

The Divine One

Grandísima Sarah Vaughan !!! ... y arreglo impecable del inigualable Percy Faith !!!!

[@ottoelperro]

Pitty some of the new generations will never hear of her. Well, some will. She's WAY before my time and... here I am, playing the heck out of her.

[@psilo9865]

If any in our species goes on living and then dies without ever experiencing Sarah's divinity, well then... That will have been because of their own choice, for Sarah is legendary and supremely laced within the dimensional histories of music. One need only search a short distance to discover this truly divine, soul sweeping paragon of expressional goddess femininity.

@@psilo9865 Do not miss her album of Brazilian songs - from 1986, believe the title is Brazilian Romance. She does a tune called 'Romance', one of the loveliest songs I have ever heard in my 71 years. I was blest to have two parents who were musicians. My late mom and Dad made sure I was raised on wonderful artists like George Shearing, Chet Baker, Sarah Vaughan, Carmen Mc Rae, on and on. I was born with a good ear, but being exposed to such artistry really gave me an edge when I listened. Still does, to this day! Best from New Orleans..

[@dougrobnyc]

Love, Love, Love her!!!!!

[@anthonypartridge3756]

Well put Steve. Agree 100%.

[@kathyporto9897]

Bello. Sublime.

[@bone53head]

I like this version, but Ella is still the GOAT!

[@markreimer3852]

A #CloseCall on these two.

[@johnb.2518]

Yes, Ella is the GOAT - but Sarah's version of this beautiful, bittersweet torch song is exquisite & maybe even slightly preferable to Ella's - thank goodness we have both to enjoy!

[@XforeverlongingX]

anything to do with april in paris? that april reference she makes?

[@MadredeAgua9]

This one os for Donald Agarrat...

[@georgechulig7767]

How to sing. Lesson 1.

[@johnb.2518]

Absolutely - a singing style very common in Sarah's time that culminated in the 70s with the straight forward approach - and incredibly beautiful voice - of Karen Carpenter...if only she had had a chance to record the wonderful songs of the 30s & 40s...
