THIS SOUNDS SO GOOD IT GAVE US TINGLES!!! SARAH VAUGHN - MISTY (REACTION)

[@jimwillride]

To me, this is art. This represents some of the highest achievements of any person ever to live. I mean, that voice. I never tire of Sarah. This is jazz. This is art.

[@jimwillride]

Let's do more Sarah, start in on the Billie Holiday, move into the Ella Fitzgerald soon!

[@andrekerr6859]

Well said! 🙌🏾

[@joannevincent2035]

"Misty" is not music before your time. "Misty" is timeless. Sarah Vaughan is for the ages. Errol Garner is forever.

[@tapduff]

One of the greatest jazz singers who ever lived!!

[@geoffreymetcalf6291]

She and Ella Fitzgerald.

[@deedeeotero4475]

Sarah Vaughn. Sassy.💖🎼💖

[@TheBlack-my5yf]

Back when vocalists could play their voices like musical instruments. Can't you just hear Sarah's voice as a mellow jazz saxophone?

[@kirpalite]

Exactly!

[@ellenhannon5298]

The fact that you never paused the video shows the respect you have for Miss Vaughn.

[@lisarainbow9703]

Sara Vaughn singing "Send in the Clowns" will make the hair on the back of your neck stand straight up. She was incredible....

[@kemitamenophis3221]

Be sure to get the live performance!

[@lisarainbow9703]

@@kemitamenophis3221 that's the one! If we're talking about the same footage, it's in color, and she's older. Guessing it was filmed in the 70s...

[@terrileatereardon6554]

New Orleans jazz club😊💝🎉

[@dagmar.6954]

Sarah Vaughn was a great jazz singer & her career covers over 6 decades starting in the 40's. She won so many awards for her music & performed with many of the greats.

[@kathrynkissane5144]

She is TOO GORGEOUS, soul to skin!!!!!!

[@anntelford8647]

Sarah was one of my father's favorite jazz singers. Her voice is so lovely.

[@kirpalite]

This song and BROKEN HEARTED MELODY are my two Sarah V. favorites. She is a legend. She was often called THE DIVINE MS. SARAH VAUGHN.

[@davidburgess3882]

also called Sassy!!

[@56music64]

Miss Sarah Vaughn, had two sets of lungs, she must have, one of the greatest voices of all time. R.I.P.

[@kathrynkissane5144]

Well said!!!!!!!

[@melvinharris6857]

Try Nancy Wilson

[@JClore1950]

Nancy was superb, but not quite at Sarah Vaughan's level.

[@ConstantGardener-q9q]

Sarah Vaughn is the GOAT. Cant wait to follow you in this journey

[@stevefox3014]

The gold standard in jazz singing...can you imagine what she would have sounded like if she didn't have a cold? Phenomenal my all time favorite singer!

[@joepowell7025]

Real talent , beautiful voice and just raw... Does not get better than that. She was a legend. xxx

[@axelosterberg4299]

she is unequalled, such a gift for all time

[@liquidationkingla5706]

Mz. Sarah Vaughn... Wow!!! The only other person that sings Misty besides Johnny Mathis that understand the dynamics of the emotion.... Truly a Master Class in how to embrace as Song!

[@lisarainbow9703]

Carmen MacRae is another fabulous jazz vocalist from that era --- pure emotion, subtle phrasing, just a touch of a growl.... She's well worth listening to..

[@patrickbuckley344]

I totally agree, one of my favorites! She is burnished gold- she has lived a life- and speaks from experience- you feel it from her☺

[@robertsterner2145]

And she got even better when she was older. Her tribute album to Sarah Vaughan is simply amazing---as is her tribute album to Thelonious Monk. Oh, and her two live Billie Holiday tribute albums, too!

[@cherylcuffee5081]

Great reaction. Jazz is American, came from the African American Community. Such greats as Ella Fitzgerald,Della Reese Sarah Vaughan, Nancy Wilson and of the great Louis Armstrong these are just a few. If you embark on the Jazz experience, you will never turn back.

[@mycolortv1]

lol...but all American Music comes the Black American experience..from Raggtime to Rap

[@cameronadair4135]

Don’t forget Anita oday and Etta Jones

[@robertcurry7664]

Love your reaction to Sassy! She’s a goddess. I’m a jazz and opera lover for over 40 years…for me, she was the greatest vocalist of the 20th century. Ella Fitzgerald thought so too. I think it was Miles Davies who said that she could do things with her voice that instrumentalists wouldn’t dare trying. Billie, Ella, Nina and Sarah have been my musical “aunties” since I was a toddler…but Sarah holds a very special place in my heart, a little bit more than the others…a very great artist, blessed with a unique instrument. 🥰🥰🥰

[@ronaldstokes4841]

Her nickname was 'Sassy'. Saw her live, way back when at the Quaker City Jazz Festival. She had the crowd in tears when she did "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes". She had a great cross-over hit on AM radio, "Broken Hearted Melody". (Yea, I was around then)

[@kestrelle5345]

This is the music I heard at my mother's knee. Under the ironing board actually. She listened to her favorites while ironing. Billy Holliday, Ella Fitzgerald, Satchmo. Duke Ellington. She'd have loved this Thanks guys.

[@crazydale1000]

Holy COW I forgot how good she was. What a voice

[@dianawilliams525]

And just think, she had a cold or the flu when she performed this show. What a voice.

[@julietate7806]

You must hear her Live at Mr. Kelley's in Chicago, 1957... the greatest vibrato ever! LOVE MS. VAUGHAN~

[@amileoj9043]

Yes she was at the peak of her always-considerable powers on that album and in a wonderful live setting to boot.

[@xjmmjbnqfstjdijoj2044]

The elegance, the dignity and the pure beauty of her voice is something we no longer find in today's music I wish more young people will one day rediscover this kind of hidden gems

[@mimigirl3362]

This is real talent, real music. It moves you. It brings tears. A lot of today’s music is crap. These so-called “pop stars” can’t sing, can’t write music and don’t play any instruments. They are studio made auto-tuned. Glad I grew up with the greats!!!!

[@angelagoodwin5758]

Wow! I can't believe I never heard this before. Miss Sarah Vaughn has gained a new fan! Great reaction, Shawn & Mel!

[@keithyoung4383]

Your reaction to the late great legendary Sarah Vaughn was amazing!!! You could not react to her any other way.

[@cdfdesantis699]

One of the most spectacular singers to ever grace this planet.

[@motosches6404]

No one plays with melody like Sarah. She always surprises me where she goes with it and never predictable. A true, gifted master.

[@charlenewebb5893]

My Parents would play her records at home .This is real music enjoy

[@denisetinto1828]

I am ecstatic. This was magical. Her voice is life-changing. Thank you for sharing this incredible song and artist. I had tingles running from the top of my head to the tips of my toes. Cheers from Canada

[@darlenebanks1368]

Sarah Vaughn is by far my favorite of all time, she brings tears to my eyes. So beautiful.

[@2350cmart]

I was born in '64, and when I was in the 7th grade in 1976, I had a teacher in Junior High in San Francisco who would play her every time we took a test. 10 years later, she was safely my favorite female vocalist of all time....still is. She is one of the greats, and it's nice to see another generation of ears experiencing, and appreciating that voice....it will live forever.

[@timjester8555]

A jazz standard, by one of the best. This continues to shine through the years. It's hard to imagine this being any better.

[@fccrick]

Finally someone checking out the Divine One Sarah Vaughan her voice is just utterly sublime, also check out her version of Over the Rainbow

[@michaelmcgillivray1624]

The Divine Ms. Sarah Vaughn,....yes, she is an experience, not simply a reaction. Every song, every time.

[@debra7449]

This Lady is in a class all her own. This is A very talented Jazz artist. You can listen to this all day……….and never get tired of it. Always Loved Her. Incredible Talent.

[@nkcbrazil]

Wow you got to the divine Sarah Vaughn! Her phrasing and the way she caressed and worked the notes were amazing. Stay in those 50s to 60s so many more surprises and talent and true artist. Your on a wonderful journey. You’ll love her song “ A Sinner Kissed an Angel, just amazing!

[@leomoore3597]

Anything by Sarah Vaughan is absolute gold !

[@paulholbrook7315]

The greatest voice of the 20th century....She could sing in three octaves....Nobody sings in three octaves.....except Sarah....

[@dvdknight1]

Sarah Vaughn was amazing and beautiful. You guys are killing it, great reactions!

[@valerielowe5282]

Ms. Vaughn sung this song with a cold. What a performance.

[@MrsMillwall]

My lovely late mum loved this lady, makes me a bit teary, can still hear mum singing away whilst cooking our Sunday roast 💜

[@flash1660]

I’m not into jazz but this lady is a master and this is a masterpiece ! WOW

[@bjm9071]

"Misty" is a classic song. But you will never think of it the same way after watching Clint Eastwood's movie "Play Misty for Me"! :)

[@dagmar.6954]

I remember that movie. Pretty scary!

[@richardcogbill6791]

Kind of the precursor to the movie: Fatal Attraction.

[@navigatingwithnana]

I'm so glad you loved my request! It's so important to honor the incredible masters of American music. Yes, Sassy truly is the Divine One! Thanks Dad, for playing her vinyls to the bone while I was a little girl.

[@margaretmarks6685]

Omg! Sarah Vaughn is one of the best singers EVER! I'm in tears! I miss this kind of music! Beautiful! Masterful! Im 72 years old. This reminded me what real artestry is! ❤

[@richardcogbill6791]

The incredible Sara Vaughn. I remember growing up as a kid in the 60s. My sister and I had early Motown, the Beatles and the great pop music before we were even teens and would later enjoy all the 70s music. My parents had all the great classic artists as Sara, Lena Horne, Barbara Streisand, Ella Fitzgerald, the Rat Pack, Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, Tony Bennet, Perry Como, Andy Williams and more. Those artists were the grownup's music, but being exposed to it as kids I could appreciate this music into my adulthood. I even listen to the music of my parent's young adulthood, Big Band jazz and swing from the 1940s. Wonderful, happy, instrumental music that folks danced to even though WWII was going on at the time. Good music is such a time machine and great music is simply timeless.

[@leonardshevlin7260]

The first Sarah Vaughan album I bought is still my favorite. Recorded 67 years ago with a sextet featuring Clifford Brown (trumpet), Herbie Mann (flute), Paul Quinichette (tenor sax), Jimmy Jones (piano), Joe Benjamin (bass), Roy Haynes (drums); Ernie Wilkins (arranger, conductor).

[@lindastarr4699]

Wow,!!!! Her voice is so incredible that it brought tears to my eyes! There are singers and then there are SINGERS and she's it.

[@Zebred2001]

Sarah Vaughn is some gold standard class right there!

[@nicolehill4812]

Her voice is powerful yet delicate. I was 5 when she did this performance. I loved her so much.

[@markberger948]

Saw her in Troy NY in the early 80s. There are no words. Possibly the finest jazz musician. . . ever. When she did Send In The Clowns the audience sat motionless.

[@davidlewis1050]

One of the great American singers. Beautiful. The highs, the lows, the control, interpretation, the dynamics. Amazing.

[@AO-po8kc]

The poise the class, how I wish we could have this back

[@Lori0Tas]

I heard Miss Vaughn sing in the 80's, in an open air concert. Her voice was still as powerful and velvety as ever. No one could scat like she could.

[@bobbyelacoe7600]

She seems so timid and quiet speaking in the beginning, then comes out w that voice 🔥❤🔥❤🔥

[@jacobtucker7918]

Sarah Vaughan was the most incredible voice of the last century. I met her in 1974 and saw her live until her much too early death in 1990. If you want to hear something that will bring tears to your eyes listen to her rendition of “If You Could See Me Now””. It was written for her by Tad Dameron when they both lived at the Broderick Hotel in Harlem at a time when neither of them were welcome at a hotel downtown. It was a very tough time for Black performers with many segregated clubs in NY. Yes, NY. The song in my mind is autobiographical for I don’t believe Sarah ever found romantic happiness. She was a grand lady and an artist from a world of excellence. We briefly spoke a couple of times. She was lovely and there seldom a day goes by when I don’t listen to one of her songs. I am SO Glad you discovered her and are sharing her phenomenal talent on KZbin. G-d Bless and thanks for a great video and sharing it with us all.

[@Lolo-zs2eo]

I remember this song, so beautiful. My Mom would play music on Saturday as we clean the house. I know the words to so many old songs. As I hear them now, they bring back so many memories. I love Jazz. Have a huge collection.

[@kathrynkissane5144]

Good job...helping to keep her remembered and relished!!!!!! I am proud of you both more and more. Your minds and hearts are very open.

[@BOOMNERD51]

Wow! Now I realize why Sarah Vaughn was one of my jazz loving Dad's favorite female singers! I inherited his enthusiasm for special 🎶! ❤️

[@richardy5271]

Sarah Vaughn is my favorire singer of all time. There's a reason they called her "The Divine One."

[@ellenjones7819]

My dad's favorite singer. He used to play her music all the time when I was growing up.

[@publicclammer]

She affected me the same way when I was a youth...now I'm 80 and she still hits me there!

[@andreahanson-cruz1556]

Superb musicians backing her. She is brilliant.

[@drunettaspencer1308]

That's why you hear us older folks talk about singers today. I'm 62 I saw her live before her death. She Ella Fitzgerald ,Billy Holiday, Mahalia Jackson, Mins Simon, Bessie Smith along with others from the Harlem Renaissance period. Amazing voices.

[@remmymafia3889]

One of my favorite singers of ALL time. 'Sassy' was her 'handle'.

[@johnmccarthy568]

[@suzie4417]

I like to turn the lights low, light a few candles and slow dance to any Miss Sarah songs! I just adore her & play her songs over & over. She was adored throughout the world esp in Europe. We all are fortunate to see & hear such wonderful concerts & club dates 💕🎶☮️😻 Miss Dinah was under the weather doing this club date, she had a fever & flu. She carried on and what a song bird she is 💜✨

[@lobo667-z1e]

All I can say is OMG OMG OMG!!!! Her voice simply incredible. Words don't do her justice.

[@dellamcduffie2050]

Sarah’s music will always be timeless!!

[@i.m.7710]

That was beyond incredible!!!!!! I love her jazz band too...so slow and cool, perfect accompaniment. Your reactions are so appreciative. I hope you watch more of her. I was watching videos on Josephine Baker today. France, Macron gave her their highest honors recently. Everyone was so moved. Her 12 adopted kids loved her. She is amazing in interviews even when people tried to put her in a box. She said there is only one race, the human race.

[@vivianphillips8519]

I'm 69 now but my mother used to put this record on when I was just 4 or 5 years old. It was my favorite comfort song all my life. I've always sung it to myself when I was stressed or nervous...never fails to calm me and make me smile.

[@cottagewitch]

I love that you are loving these legendary singers. Thank you for reminding me how wonderful Sarah Vaughn is.

[@susanmcewan302]

What a lady...with a fabulous voice! Truly enjoyed! Ty

[@robinbowles5731]

I'm so thrilled you reacted to Sarah Vaughn. She is one of my 5 favorite vocalist, which includes Dusty Springfield, Karen Carpenter, Mario Lanza and the late, great Gilbert Price. I suggest listening to Gilbert's version of "I've Gotta Be Me" which he sang on Ed Sullivan show.

[@williamwebb7917]

Sarah is my favorite singer. I listen to her everyday while I work. Misty is one of her best. No singer today compares. She was supreme.

[@dylangintherofficial]

Sarah is probably one of the most poised singers to ever walk a stage

[@kemitamenophis3221]

I was jus a "child" in my 20's but I had the opportunity to hear her sing live in 1980 with the Count Basie Orchestra and featuring great blues legend Joe Williams. I will never forget that night!

[@supersonicsoulsupreme1414]

Beautiful Mellow Smooth & Smokey Just like Miss Vaughn ✌️♥️

[@AABB-cn4yk]

What a legend. My fave singer of all time

[@loilt5091]

Timeless song & voice‼️⏳ Thank you for sharing your reaction and welcome to the jazz world.

[@d.j.starling3559]

Sarah Vaughn isn't just jazz, Sarah Vaughn is one of the best parts of jazz. One of the greatest voices ever, one of the best vocal instruments you'll ever hear!! Ella Fitzgerald (who I believe you reacted to recently) is known as the First Lady of Song, & she, Sarah & Billie Holliday are arguably the top 3 female jazz vocalists of all time. Naturally, Billie Holliday is another voice you must hear. Her song, Strange Fruit, tells a haunting story, but she sings it beautifully. God Bless The Child is another great one. My favorite by Billie is The Very Thought Of You. Another of my favorite female jazz singers is Nancy Wilson. If you want to know what it means to swing a song, listen to her do This Song Is You. If you want to hear my favorite version of my most favorite song of all the songs in all the world, listen to the exquisite perfection of Nancy Wilson's version of Someone To Watch Over Me. So, soooo beautiful!! Personal note: I've been lucky enough to say I've seen many of the great singers in concert, including Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, & Sammy Davis, Jr., among many, many others, but the one who completely, totally, absolutely mesmerized me more than any other was Sarah Vaughn!! I left that concert knowing I had heard an angel sing!!

[@dennisg.582]

IMO, Sarah is the greatest singer ever!!!!!!

[@mrridikilis]

Welcome to the world of Sarah Vaughan! My high school band director introduced me to her singing 30 years ago. She's my favorite vocalist, bar none, regardless of genre or era. Check out her Gershwin album, it's "Divine"
