SAw her in person once, Oscar Peterson had to cancel, she basically did two shows to make up for him....it was the BEST concert I've ever gone to in my life. She basically let us come right up to the stage and she took requests.....It was truly amazing what she did to make sure we had a great show.

Folks, at the three minute point you realize what singing really is. Listening to her interpretation of this song is like going to heaven without having to die.

[@carolr.556]

Everytime I watch this, life is beautiful again.

[@kindell1]

Her dark and melancholy tone fits this song perfectly

[@kennethwashington2092]

From soprano to baritone with no effort whatsoever. She can sing anything and make it sound so melodious. I love her - she will always be the best!

[@MrJThink]

Her range was phenomenal!

[@jameshealy4276]

Discard my earlier comment.

From 2.20 in, this is a remarkable rendition of a song I have known my entire life, beginning as a lullaby sang by my mam in the 60s. An avowed Nina Simone fan, it is Sarah Vaughn's unsurpassed interpretation of this song which she owns. Unequalled excellence.

A voice like no other. My favorite jazz singer

[@MignonDunne]

Cursed like a sailor; sang like an angel. That's Sarah!

Eu posso ver mil vezes, nas mil vezes eu choro!!!

Dignity enough, unfazed even howling. Very great singer.

[@agospelday8282]

[@NoRosesForMe]

I love her so much. Such a great woman. A great figure in the arts as well as a great icon for women . I adore her. I cherish her. Bless her.

A strange combination of both embarassing with the early problems but then magically wonderful the way she overcame them to give a great performance.
