The Nearness of You (Live) - Sara Niemietz & Will Herrington

[@SaraNiemietz]

Wow! A huge "thanks" to everyone who has watched and commented on this one. Really feeling the love.

[@rawstarmusic]

Sara Niemietz Yeah, I decided to come back and listen again (have been gone 2 days.) It's still beautiful, a mysteriously good song from 1938! a craze. My only thing here is "up the mic 4 db" Will. I assume the piano and vocals are precisely leveled at the same volume. Both are equally good.) but as things are, the vocalist must be louder and nearer, especially in a song like this.

[@DocHolliday92966]

Sara Niemietz Hey beautiful.... :-) Another amazing performance from the girl I treasure so dearly.... 1 Question????? Whats up with the "Elvira" hair cut????? Lmao You know I love ya and Lyn sends her love too hunny !!!

[@rawstarmusic]

William Herrington Since I am a huge Elon Musk fan I'll respond: "Constantly seek out criticism. A well thought out critique is as valuable as gold" I provide this stuff on basically every Sara performance, - so far with 0% success haha.

[@jazzbirdbecky]

Sara Niemietz lovely. Nice phrasing. I can tell a lot about you from the honesty. Keep going strong songbird. From one to another 😉

[@georgeklimes7604]

Just discovered this - and thus you. Very nice job.

[@grahamhider6961]

Your voice makes the world a better place🎤🎤

Another wonderful song with Sara Niemietz this time a bit on the Jazzy side

It gives me goose bumps :D

[@darylplueger1930]

[@carloborromeo5595]

Stunning voice. I can't believe this was 8 years ago!

[@djteddybear131]

GREAT VOCALS ....JUST BEAUTIFUL....

[@joelaferriere7416]

Stunning! I would love to hear you sing Someone to Watch over Me.

[@mikecooper877]

Sara's rendition of this song inspired me to find a karaoke version and sing it to my wife!🥰💜

[@jolindavalentine7145]

This is definitely your style of music. I love it!

[@SaraNiemietz]

Jolinda Bedocs Thank YOU, Jolinda!

[@RonRay]

Soulful Sara.... Your voice bends my soul in all the right places.

[@NYCBG]

WOOOOOWWWWW! WHAT A VOICE!!!! I've accompanied a million singers over many years, but you girl are in a universe all your own. Subscribed (of course).

[@SaraNiemietz]

NYCBG Oh man! Thank YOU!

[@chrismayka]

Have a very nice weekend. Best regards from Chris and Mayka - The Netherlands - Western Europe.

[@hawkrider88]

Wow...just Wow!

[@FerHodah]

Thanks beauty Sara, your voice fills my soul.

[@Neumeg]

My God do you have a way with the classics. As much as I enjoy Snuffy's picking, having a piano accompaniment on this was perfect. It gave the perfect vibe to the song and let your voice be showcased. (Great keyboarding Will) I'd type more superlatives, but I want to hurry over to iTunes and download it.

[@SaraNiemietz]

Neumeg Awwwwww thank you thank you thank you!!!

[@6stringwood]

Hey Sara, You and Will nailed this old song to perfection. Outstanding! Thanks for sharing! Keep up your amazing vocals you sooth a stressed out world! Take Care! Jim

[@SaraNiemietz]

Jim McFalls Thank you so much!!!! Hoping the world can be a little less stressed!

[@KarlheinzFey]

Wow! Wonderful song, voice and piano sound! Bravo and thumbs up!:)

[@goinbzurk]

By far the most perfect rendition of this song! BRAVO Sara! Love you long time young lady. Very glad to see your success continuing to flourish. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

[@KRASIPARVANOV]

So good .... I call this BRILLIANT!

[@SaraNiemietz]

MR GIBS Thank you!!!!!

[@progmusfreak]

This laid-back song is like a canvas that unfolds and says - paint on me if you know how to. Delicate, touching and able - this is what I could say about your voice. It reminds me so much of the mellow-timbered expressiveness and phrasing of the Misty Sarah Vaughan. I am more happy now as Sara fulfilled a desire of mine that I asked her a couple of times. She could easily reach the limit in pop/rock/blues/soul, but jazz reveals unlimited horizons just when you thing there is nothing more to challenge you. Sara has the potential to master a dazzling number of vocal techniques and leave the music critics speechless.

[@SaraNiemietz]

progmusfreak My goodness! This is such a kind comment. Thank you for listening to the video and responding so nicely! Ms. Vaughan!? Goodness! She was a master. Thank you for checking out our take on this classic.

[@riskromer9773]

Quite often I say life without music would be unbearable. And that's because of performances like this one. Thank you so much!

[@Alexhandre13]

I listen to this every single day. Thank you so much Sara.

[@robinwilkinson7281]

One of my favourite classic songs. I hope Sarah doesn't mind if I place her fourth behind Ella, Sarah Vaughan and Peggy Lee in my all time favourite performances of this song! Great piano accompaniment also.

[@TheCliffandPhilShow]

So nice! Sinatra would love hearing this. He probably IS hearing this in heaven since this is pure heaven!:)

[@SaraNiemietz]

TheCliffPhilShow Thank you! I hope he's listening! =]

[@poundng1]

Wow, I love every cover I've listened to of yours, but you really outdid yourself on this one. Simply breathtaking.

[@johndavies8956]

That delivery was so plaintive it made you want to reach out and hug her and say "It'll be alright".

[@sc1212able]

Your voice is like LIQUID GOLD, absolutely amazing.

[@SaraNiemietz]

sc1212able Wow! Thank you!

[@jvburnes]

One hundred years from now when the relevancy of the current batch of pop has long faded away this excellent performance from Sara will stand alone as an exemplar in the art of jazz. You really should drop 1 in 10 releases into the jazz standard donation box for history's sake.

[@Nimrodgizmo]

The most beautiful voice and beautiful lady in the world. Love your smile and dimple Sara! xoxo

[@johnryan5911]

Nimrodgizm

[@johnferrett9302]

[@johnventura1637]

The quality of your voice, your phrasing..............exquisite.

BUDDYSNORES Aw thank you so much!!!!!

[@triplejazzmusicisall1883]

What a beautiful and classy rendition. A lovely voice and no forced projection - a natural restrained performance which many people on talent shows could benefit from. This song is a favourite of mine too. It is right up there with Moon River, and Someone to Watch Over Me.

[@fergieNH]

Sara you are a special gift to this world... take care and be safe.👍🏻🌹♥️

[@karlgarson2838]

Difficult to describe how unique and wondrous this delivery is.

Usually I praise your musical tastes…and this time is no different because this song is very elegant and distinctive. To celebrate an event as special as “Jazz Appreciation Month” is, nothing better than to listen to you sing this wonderful song, close one's eyes and go with the flow by listening to the unexpected piano chords. It's not the pale moon that excites me; it's just that I love your jazzy style. :)
