She's not singing, she's playing a horn without the horn. She is pure instrument. Timeless artistry.

[@eddiegustafson484]

Absolutely!

[@mikemorgan5015]

Vocal perfection. No better singer ever lived, in my opinion. Effortless, soft, silky, smooth, seductive, and all with perfect command and control.

[@lisathornhill6401]

She's a wizard from beyond. Don't even try to understand. It's just a gift to us all.

[@waggitnshaggit6592]

You never get her mixed up with another,she’s unforgettable.

[@SHillFowler]

Heard her perform this LIVE back in the day. She left me speechless.

[@johannamit4388]

Absolutely phenomenal. How she can hold her breath for so long with that natural vibrato is unbelievable.

[@mailaneplunkett6744]

Control personified. Beautiful, soothing. She was wonderful. Her range is indescribable. AWESOME

[@susanbateman1614]

I was fortunate to see her 3 times. My absolute favorite vocalist.

[@theniceone06]

The breath control, the range,the clarity, the conciseness of it all. It gives me life

[@markdettra1794]

I agree , and it makes me sick how many great singers ruined themselves smoking cigs !

[@Trujolos]

She had a never-before and never-again voice AND she was musical genius. So beautiful.

[@jibsmokestack1]

Sarah's vocal abilities were unmatched in Jazz history! An amazing musician!

[@joebloggs8636]

%100 right!

[@patriciamoran9143]

I agree. There were a few close. Like Ella Fitzgerald. But, Sarah had unique qualities I've never heard from anyone else.

[@Joe-ym6bw]

Yes she was one of the truly greats among the greats

[@Johnnycdrums]

I like Dinah Washington and Anita O'Day better.

[@jibsmokestack1]

@@Johnnycdrums I love Dinah. She was undoubtedly a more convincing blues performer but in terms of vocal technique, range and improvisational ability Sarah has it easily!

[@MrGeoffHilton]

I love how you bring these old artistes to a new audience.

[@murph3001]

She was and is one of the best we ever had

[@scottvermillion1426]

Sarah Vaughan-just a fantastic singer, almost unmatched by anyone else. Thank you for your analysis, Fil. I always appreciation understanding just what made the greats great.

[@nytransplant7883]

Was my moms' favorate vocalist so I listened to her quite a bit. The way she glides through a complex interpretation of a song will make you weak in the knees. Her range is stunning. Thanks for a great analysis of a great and unique singer. Loved it!

[@barbaramorant6673]

My dad and I use to listen to the "78"records . This brings back great memories.

[@MissAstorDancer]

I didn't understand leaving songs the way she did. I'd never heard anything like it. Amazing.

[@lisathornhill4177]

No voice more enchanting.

[@EmilianoLoconsolo]

2023 and still unmatched.

[@lisathornhill4177]

Unbelievable. Found a Dinah Washington tape in a garage at 12. Led me to Sarah. Thank you, old cassettes!

[@eugeniaruggiero5451]

My mom introduced me to her records in the '50s & '60s. She loved her & tried to copy her singing(my mom had a good voice) Sarah was so so awesome!!!

[@2011joser]

I have never seen a live performance of Sarah’s and I am astounded. We are watching a master musician with ultimate control of her instrument and exuding her confidence in her skills.

[@paulinebuckles2310]

She has an incredible range, the ability to hold the note, vibrato at the right places.

[@robertm3336]

What a great analysis of a great singer. Sarah wasn't called "the Divine One" for nothing!

[@dantean]

She was just stunning, wasn't she? Rightfully regarded as among the small handful of the most important vocal influences of the century along with Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and Louie Armstrong and perched atop the Mount Rushmore of influential jazz vocalists. Thanks for this, Fil.

[@drewpall2598]

Your expressions are a dead giveaway and a joy to watch Fil. Sarah Vaughan style was captivating indeed. One by one your analysis videos are a great source to learn about the artists and bands from all genres and era. Keep Rockin' through the history of music Fil. 😊🤘

[@chipsterb4946]

I’m sorry - was Fil in the picture while she sang? No disrespect to him at all - I just couldn’t do anything but watch her and occasionally look at the graph showing what note she was singing…

[@bigkahuna92107]

My dad was a business manager for people with more money than time and Sarah was a client of his for the last 25 years of her life. He tried to tell me about her but, being in my teens a twenties and a product of the '60s, it went in one ear and out the other. Now, as an amateur musician, I'm kicking myself for missing so many chances to get to know her. I am living proof that youth is wasted on the young. I do remember his telling me that she had perfect pitch.

[@beatrixhollrigl4641]

@bigkahuna92107, 😊

[@rickwhear4016]

My mom turned me onto Sarah...her all time favorite

[@henryhardee9905]

Sarah bond is beyond an era she is a stone soul singer no matter what time period

[@69fcortina]

Velvet and pain in one voice. Remarkable.

[@lestorhaslam]

Sarah Vaughan, that’s all one needs to say.

[@assaultpioneer8414]

Ok, frankly never heard of her, but she gave me the feels, unexpectedly weeping

[@merrigalebeddoes1921]

Absolutely fantastic!!! I wish my mother was alive to see this video ❤❤. Sarah Vaughan was one of her favorites

[@PhillipLandmeier]

Yeah, I'm glad you discovered her. My sax teacher once said to me, "I can teach you everything you need to be a great sax player in 30 seconds." "What?" "Listen to Sarah Vaughan to learn what notes to play and listen to Stan Getz to learn how to play them. That's all you need to do." Hah! He was right, of course.

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

A great voice to watch. You are right to describe it as captivating. She puts you through an emotional wringer.

[@skarasik4021]

She’s my favorite jazz vocalist.

[@TheSimplyQua]

Remarkable and everlasting jazz vocalist.

[@paulstewart4195]

That's a voice truly blessed by the gods.the great Sarah Vaughan

[@vatiammatri2660]

I was lucky to hear her live much later in her life in Clearwater Florida, probably 1984. Amazing. She's a treasure.

[@csanchez1020]

Wow. It's as if she's taking a slow stroll with the music and occasionally pauses to caress a note here and there. Plus, it reminded me of feeling this way about someone, I don't recall who that was, but I remember the emotions.

[@theminutebible873]

The look of admiration on your face during the first play through speaks volumes.

[@litcrit1624]

New arrival, showing up for Sarah. But I’ve got to say, your smiles have got to be the most authentic reaction on KZbin.

[@BabsR]

Gosh I had forgotten this song, it's beautifully sung here and what amazing control she had in those notes. Fabulous.

[@allen_p]

She has a completely unique voice. Nobody could copy her. I had to keep picking up my jaw, because she kept surpassing my awe of her singing.

[@gustamanavo]

The greatest singer to ever grace this earth. Period.

[@rosachristopherson4309]

Fabulous! I found myself holding my breath! What a treasure! Thanks, Fil, for a heartfelt analysis. Sarah Vaughan’s perfect voice moved us all, I’m sure.

You MUST do Broken Hearted Melody! Oh my God! She's superb. Unique. Mesmerizing in it!❤

[@jenn976]

What a blast this has been to watch/listen to you being excited about the artistry of Sarah Vaughn. For me, I could have listened to you for much longer. Such a terrific singer, such fun to listen to, so great to relax into the journey she always takes us on. And because of her excellence, the sheer joy that she exudes through her singing reaches into our soul. How incredibly lucky we are to still have recordings of her singing.

[@jmmartincanada]

Thank you Fil. The really extraordinary thing is Miss Vaughan simply got better and better with age. Earlier this year I obtained the two separate LPs recorded by Miss Vaughan at Ronnie Scott’s over two consecutive nights (Ronnie Scott’s Presents Sarah Vaughan Live 1977) in which she delivered phenomenal renditions including My Funny Valentine & If You Could See Me Now. Ronnie Scott introduces The Divine One on these recordings as his favourite singer of all time and I do so completely agree. I had these two LPs digitized and I will email a copy to you Fil in appreciation of your fantastic analysis of the legendary Sassy!

[@gstlb]

The breath control is stunning. Thanks for this video.

[@beprepared6771]

Sarah Vaughan, what a voice. Even with such God-given talent it takes a lot of work to sing with that kind of breath control.It kind of reminds me of Johnny Mathis when he was young. He would run through two measures easily without taking a breath.

[@joebikeguy6669]

Sarah Vaughn is my favorite female jazz vocalist. A naturally beautiful voice and vocal techniques, combined with effortless musicianship.

[@UnivegaSuperSport]

Love this channel. You're a retro-active talent scout for us all.

[@patriciamoran9143]

I like that term

[@walterfechter8080]

Sarah's vocals on "Lost in The Stars" is nothing short of magnificent. Kurt Weill composed that wondrous tune. Sarah Vaughan turned it into golden stardust. Many thanks, FIL.

[@adiedo]

I hate to be a get off my lawn person but many folks just don't know what real singing is. SV was so great. Just wonderful. I hope this moves folks to pick up a Best Of collection of hers and jump off from that. Thanks Fil.

The GOAT the divine Miss Sarah Vaughan

[@jimmybalantyne5545]

Thank you. Sarah Vaughan represents all that's good about humanity. Yeah, I said it. Meant it too. Peace.

[@2GunRock]

Sinatra's favorite singer. She used to do a gig at 'The Blue Note' in NYC once a year and Frank would usually show up.

[@lisaflores8801]

oh my God this is my favorite...my dad introduced us to her and this show was her in her glory ...also look at me when she was in Europe can't remember if it was Denmark or Sweden but look for it ...she gives me chills!!!!

might be the same show lol

Another favorite vocalist of my late Dad! ❤️

[@lintollefsen7166]

This is such a lovely, playful performance.

[@Tohgod]

One of my favorites. Sassy forever. She could sing anything in any style and when she sang scat she was and orchestra.

[@dagmar.6954]

Sarah Vaughn was such 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.

[@DonnieReno]

I’m so glad to see you covered Sarah Vaughan. She’s my all-time favorite female vocalist. I was never much of a concert goer but when she came to San Jose in the mid 70s I had to go. My favorite song by her is ”Star Eyes" 💕 She was “Bloody Mary" in South Pacific with Carreras and Te Kanawa. In a video about the making of that album she said she was thrilled to be singing with those opera stars.

[@bl6797]

I saw her in concert 2 times and I couldn’t believe how amazing her voice was….and how much so sweated on stage! Buckets! Love you Sarah!

[@kevinhouse4376]

Great job analyzing one of my favorite singers, Fil. Doris Day also has a great vibrato.

[@marylehman1295]

I love love LOVE Sarah’s voice. She’s the queen of jazz crooning. Her vibrato is insane !! I’ve listened to her many times, but this analysis made me listen more intently. Thank you for this gift !!

[@lashamartashvili]

What a timbre and voice control! She must have posessed absolute pitch to hit those notes with inhumane precision. Thanks for introducing Sarah Vaughan to me!

[@VideoNOLA]

I don't think "perfect pitch" means what you think it means.

[@lashamartashvili]

@@VideoNOLA It's your prerogative!

[@lashamartashvili]

@@VideoNOLA BTW I think you know the definition of perfect pitch, but have absolutely no idea how it works and have not met anyone in person who posesses perfect pitch. Of course you don't know how it feels to have perfect pitch, neither do I, but they tried their best to explain it to me.

[@storkandsheep]

@@VideoNOLA ???

[@fredbloggs6080]

@@lashamartashvili You were correct the first time when you said "absolute pitch". "Perrfect pitch" is not the same thing. Sarah did not have to have absolute pitch to sing the way she did, but she probably had perfect relative pitch. Although, because she was also an excellent pianist, she may have had absolute pitch also.

[@user-bg3be6dk4f]

a beautiful rendition of an old favorite

[@BellBarker]

Everything she ever sang was fabulous.

[@jdjohnson7299]

Yes! Finally! My favorite vocalist of all time. IMHO she was untouchable. Magnificent voice, magnificent technique and inventive. Thank you so much for reacting to her. I've been waiting! Thanks Fil. BTW, I think Streisand is the only other singer that I know of that has that impressive breath control that Sarah had, which is why they could phrase differently than others had which made them stand out even more..

[@bonitaderosa3134]

I've always been an Ella Fitzgerald fan - but Sarah Vaughn was always my favorite. Thanks for this - such fun:)

[@ravinderangel860]

A hypnotic voice. Amazing. A perfect complement to a cold, wet Sunday with a coffee, a book and this beautiful vocal 🎶🎶🎶

[@Rick_Hoppe]

Fil, I was one of the many that requested this performance. Thank you for giving us such a masterful and penetrating analysis of this video! Sarah is immortal!

[@Martiniization]

Sarah Vaughn's style is especially complementary to the lyrics. To take the time to read the lyrics and, then, hear how she manages her voice and the melody to fit the mood of the message, you get wrapped up, captive, in the artistry and skill of the performance.

[@MissNatalonga]

Majestic, masterful... what can I say...

[@linzertube]

Wow! Sarah Vaughan is unlike any singer I have heard before! Such control, endurance and original style.…I can see why you got lost in hearing her sing through twice, Fil!

[@pynkfreud]

Now you need to listen to a performance toward the end of her career, when her voice deepens but she still maintains the highs, and she bends the notes more, sometimes severely, worrying less about singing prettily . She was a true master. No one had or has her ease, agility, style, accuracy, and range. Her whole self was the instrument. Thank you for getting to this!

[@Voirreydirector]

Love your name kiddo. She did a great deal of low stuff on the old ancient stuff, too.

[@filmmekker]

I prefer her voice in the 70’s and 80’s.

[@tiffsaver]

Your taste remains impeccable, Fil. For my money, Sassy Sarah's voice was so incredible in so many ways, that I think she was, and will remain, the greatest single female jazz vocalist of the 20th century.

[@patriciadaly5586]

Sarah is buried down the road from my parents. Glendale cemetery. Bloomfield new jersey. Pass her grace all the time.

[@TheLisab56]

What a Goddess. The Divine One. Thank God for my parents. Grew up listening to everything.

[@GoogleGoogle-fy3cj]

An amazing analysis of a captivating singer. Now I have a better understanding of Sarah's unique talent. Great job.

[@dalem4039]

I was driving yesterday with mom in the car, listening to the Sinatra channel. The display was just the name of the show, so the song and artist info were not displayed. Mom asked “who is this singing?” I said “I think it’s Sarah Vaughn.” I was right as it was announced after. She’s pretty easy to identify. Nobody had a voice quite like hers.

[@caroliamurri3872]

Just wow! My father loved Sarah, along with Ella and Billie...grew up listening to this spectacular genre of brilliant artistry.. Thanks Fil for this awesome reaction and for helping make this beautiful music relevant...much love!

Sarah was one of the most dynamic and vocally gifted singers of all time. Sarah could sing anything and make it magic. But let's not forget how amazing you are Fil being able to break down such vocal talents and show how dynamic they are is a testament to your amazing musical talents. Well done. You appreciate well delivered music.

[@artmanjohn2]

That kind of perspiration that was running down Sarah's face comes from the pure concentration of "being in the zone"! Love that from a great artist and performer.

[@GeneralTarik]

Sarah Vaughan is my favorite singer and IMHO, the greatest singer ever. She could sing everything from the most gut bucket of Blues, like on “No Count Sarah”, to Opera like her version of “My Man’s Gone Now”. She also was a piano player (she was the back up pianist for Earl “Fatha” Hines) so that played into her note selection. I’m a big Sassy fan so for me it’s Team Sarah all the way!

[@trulyc56cw]

Yes, Sarah's voice is spellbinding.

[@kendramoon4722]

What a voice!

[@edthesecond]

I love the way she just tosses off all those incredibly twists and turns in her voice like she's not even thinking about it, like she carries that voice around with her and lets it out to play.

[@louissilvani1389]
