Vocalist First Reaction To Sarah Vaughan | Misty (Live from Sweden) Mercury Records 1964

[@jamiem4941]

She’s gorgeous isn’t she? Just magic. I have been enjoying her for a long time! So glad you listen to her. Hope things get better Charlie, lots of people out here care about you!

[@RhondaHill-mi7cw]

The sultry, dulcet sound of Miss Sarah Vaughan. Timeless voice. Timeless lady. Thank you for sharing.

[@johnforest9508]

the greatest female singer ever lived...

[@ronnierivers2108]

She was a gift!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@timward3116]

It is hard to describe her: a genius with the soul of a saint and the voice of an angel. Listening to her is a supernatural experience, a glimpse into divinity. It is an otherworldly experience that washes over you floods you with joy and love. Sweetness and humility all bundled up with a glorious voice. What a combination she was!

[@tparmenter]

Sarah and Ella. Monsterous talents… ethereal, regal voices… just sublime.

[@joshuajacobtaylor]

isn’t she just perfect!

[@TheCharlieSmithChannel]

Yes!

[@joanmonaghan8428]

I've loved Sarah for years but had forgotten about her for a while. Thank you for bringing her back to my attention. Incomparable voice. I'll be back on her bandwagon from now. 🥰🥰

[@carlosprimus952]

Sarah Vaughn “The Divine One” never sang a bad note her entire life!

[@phildupuis1084]

Sarah has been a favourite of mine since I was a child and she still gives me goosebumps whenever I hear her again.

[@royalblu6412]

She's the Divine One!

[@johnmerkel2091]

I’m with you bro. She is my goddess.

[@jonnno243]

I am so glad you did this reaction Charlie. I have always felt the same way about Sarah.

[@EileenSpeakman]

Sarah Vaughan and Billy Eckstine duetting......... Passing Strangers. Sublime

[@cranberrymarmalade9081]

Back in the 80s, when I was about 16, I got to see her live in Atlantic City. Oh my, I love her voice and style.

[@pacaluvr7963]

I have always loved her voice. Good choice! Your reaction to her was fun to watch.

[@1971emcee]

2:07 The way your face changed sums up how many people feel when they first hear her voice.

[@Penbrooksown]

So beautiful, gorgeous, and smooth!!!

[@TheCharlieSmithChannel]

Thank you 😂

[@avogrid296]

My favorite singer of all time! The control, range, and beauty of her voice is unmatched. ❤❤❤

[@mssuziquzi]

I played Sarah Vaughan singing Close to you at my mum’s funeral. It was absolutely perfect.❤️ Another favourite of mine is Broken Hearted Melody. Sarah Vaughan was one of mum‘s favourite singers, I grew up listening to her.

[@photo161]

Sarah Vaughn's improvisations are extensive, creative, and utterly musical. She is not only a song interpreter but also a great composer, creating variations that are as interesting as the song itself.

[@photo161]

And then there is that voice!

[@shannonoliver3900]

Man, I love Sarah Vaughn!! ❤❤❤

[@kiandeshouseofmusic5735]

Yes, Samara Joy was greatly inspired by Sarah Vaughan. In fact, in 2019 Samara won the Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition.

[@lindakilby2979]

One of my fav vocalist 💜

[@adeliabarnwell8621]

Her voice (as it should be), pure and magical, without production alterations.

[@iamshesheisme8954]

I have something that will bring tears to your eyes. Listen to Dinah Washington sing, 'this bitter earth ' I'm so glad that you were introduced to this beautiful, flawless, angelic queen that is Sarah Vaughn.

[@cchase5855]

She is perfection! Thank you so much for posting this! Check out her live recording of “Say it Isn’t So”. Absolutely stunning!! ❤️

[@christophermartin5399]

The Divine One. Sassy. I was privileged enough to see her last ever concert in Europe. She was ON FRICKIN FIRE!!!! If you really are on a quest to discover the enigma of SV, may I suggest the album "Gershwin Live"? E buon ascolto!

[@guillo2713]

Wow! She was under the weather, I can't imagine her. 💯. She was in every household musical library around my neighborhood. Thanks for bringing this beautiful gift to the channel.

[@TheCharlieSmithChannel]

@@guillo2713 my pleasure bro. She's actually unreal!

[@marablemorgan8292]

60's - 80's were the golden years of music!

[@ed.z.]

I was a teen when I was smashed by Sarah’s unreal control and gorgeous impossible vocals. The trio are also top notch musicians.

[@DomLeVey]

She does a very beautiful version of Send in the clowns, from the early 80s. One of her last performances, was in early 90s singing "my funny valentine'.

[@marywilson1442]

I was so surprised by her speaking voice. Knowing her singing voice I would have never expected her speaking voice to be so light and airy. I've known and loved Sarah Vaughan work since I was a kid. An amazing Songstress along with Ella, Nancy Wilson, Della Reese, Dionne Warwick, Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Etta gosh so many that I can't even name them all... Even though I'm older now I'm blessed to have been born during the time that I was exposed to so many multi-generational singers. I mean I got it all blues, jazz disco, r&b, pop, neo-soul and a little touch of rock and roll and country. And the changes from music back then to now🤷🏽 it's been quite the ride...

[@rayglenister9799]

One of her best. A young Sarah singing . THINKING OF YOU,. Must hear.

[@photo161]

OK, but she really wasn't young here. This is the mature Sarah in every way. A magnificent musician with the greatest voice I have ever heard live or on recording.

[@fredalwatkins4506]

​@photo161 she's 40 here but I think you misunderstood him. When she was 26 she did a song called thinking of you

[@princessG313]

Listen to Smoke gets in your eyes ❤❤Sarah voice is like a fine Brandy warm and smooth

[@gemelindacjp7976]

I was introduced to Sarah Vaughn recording Bloody Mary's part from South Pacific. You can find those studio recordings on KZbin. The rest of the recording cast is superb, yoo.

[@arohajanie]

I was blessed with parents who loved jazz and grew up listening to the greats. They had an album of Sarah Vaughans live in concert which I loved. It doesn't get any better than this magic.

[@bwalker464]

The eargasms were aggressive lmfaoo her tone is just like samara joy

[@amontaineaurore4700]

When I was a teenager my parents took me to listen to Sarah Vaughn and Billy Eckstine together in concert. I am so thankful to my parents for making sure I knew the greats!

[@cptight88]

GOAT. "The Shadow of Your Smile" feat. Bob James on piano. From this same show.

[@TheToscanaMan]

A favorite song of mine and Sarah knocks it out of the park. But, no surprise there. Glad you have finally heard her. Life is too short to live without knowing her. "I'm in love" you say haha Welcome my friend. There are many of us who are spellbound too 🥰

[@MissCraig]

Yes, I love her sound. I start listening to her music once I learned about her 10 years ago. She influenced many other singers.

[@ronnierivers2108]

She could have studied opera but her parents did not have the money for the training!!!!….she was amazing!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@luminiferous1960]

Thanks for posting this video of Sarah Vaughan performing Misty. I had the great fortune to attend two Sarah Vaughan concerts in the 1980s. One was in a jazz club and the other was in a large auditorium. Both performances were glorious! BTW, since you mentioned Samara Joy, she won the 2019 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition.

[@marablemorgan8292]

I got to grow up listening to all the greats.

[@coreenavenn4235]

Spectacular, smooth,sexy, and perfection. A magical voice with control & emotional.

[@marablemorgan8292]

A voice like velvet!

[@Hawksphantom]

From the same concert: The song "MARIA" from west side story.

[@seekingiam1]

Charlie, I grew up listening to her, Dakota Staten, Ella Fitzgerald and Dinah Washington. Great jazz singers. Love your reactions.

[@luminiferous1960]

Here you have evidence of why Sarah Vaughan was called "The Divine One." The pre-eminent 20th century composer, conductor, musician and critic of classical and jazz music said "Sarah Vaughan is quite simply the greatest vocal artist of our century...For it is one thing to have a beautiful voice; it is another thing to be a great musician-often, alas, a truly remote thing amongst classical singers; it is still another thing, however, to be a great musician with a beautiful and technically perfect voice, who also can compose and create extemporaneously...You can imagine that I do not say these things lightly, and that I do not make so bold as to make these claims without some prior thought and reason. For I am, as many of you know, someone who played for fifteen years in the orchestra of the Metropolitan Opera, loved every minute of it, and during those years heard a goodly share of great singing-from Melchior to Bjorling and DiStefano, from Flagstad to Sayao to Albanese and Callas, from Pinza to Siepi and Warren. Before that, as a youngster, I thrilled to the recordings of Caruso, Rethberg, Ponselle, Muzio, Easton, and Lawrence. So I think I know a little about that side of the singing art. And yet with all my profound love for those artists and the great music they made, I have never found anyone with the kind of total command of all aspects of their craft and art that Sarah Vaughan has."

[@andystaszak-vw4se]

Sarah Vaughan was one my dad's favorites, and I listened to her (and Dinah Washington) from an early age. I even had the opportunity to see her live in a small venue late in her life when her voice had gotten very deep, but still smooth and effortless. You should also check out her Brazilian Romance album with Milton Nacamiento; it's her step into bossa nova, and it's good! And Wikipedia just told me she was nominated for a Grammy for Best Jazz Vocalist Female for her performance on it.

[@AP-gb3eh]

Her album of Gershwin songs is gorgeous

[@themajicman745]

Play Johnny Mathis cover of this classic!

[@annasylvester4516]

I've been fan of Sarah's since I was a kid in the 1960s. I think Sarah and Ella Fitzgerald were the best jazz singers of their generation. Enjoyed your reaction.

[@michaeljohn9271]

60 years ago no less. Back when singers didn't need to belt to impress.

[@kiandeshouseofmusic5735]

I refer to The Divine Sarah Vaughan as The Voice!!!

[@luminiferous1960]

By the way, since you mentioned Samara Joy, you might be interested to know that she won the 2019 Sarah Vaughan International Vocal Jazz Competition.

[@marablemorgan8292]

Yeah...

[@musodave]

All the songs from this live session are stunning. I especially recommend her performance of 'Maria', and would love to hear your thoughts

[@royalblu6412]

Dindi, Black Coffee, Nature Boy are just a few!

[@jazzambientertainment]

One of my top 5 Jazz standards of all time! Johnny Mathis' version is pretty sweet too. That performance showed her gratitude for being able to share her gift with the audience. Looks like that was a spiritual response for you...☺

[@johnwatson2887]

And this is how she sounded with a cold! Thanks SO much for posting this and bringing her to the attention of today's audiences. I'm subscribing! Most reactors on KZbin seem to react to this Misty video. Would love to see you try something different. One that always blows me away is Fly Me to the Moon Live (kzbin.info/www/bejne/iafLeaKZr6-AhJosi=j1jPHZDb1qGU1IiA). It shows off more of her incredible range and musicianship than this one. Something livelier might appeal more to your uninitiated audience, though, like They All Laughed from early in her career (kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZbUfoaYjJZ4i80si=QPyTZSS7W1EjWQQs) or a song that'll be familiar to many, like Over the Rainbow (many performances available).

[@dorothyward3234]

I see that the singing is awesome and touching to you. Enjoy yourself!

[@monique_peace71]

Love your reactions Charlie!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Sarah Vaughn was one of the best jazz voices out there. You have to react to her rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" from the Wizard of Oz. It's beautiful 👍🏾❤️

[@glengalli1288]

Id like to see Angelina sing this, she would kill this ❤

[@aureliobotelho5300]

React Sarah Vaughan singing ‘ Dindi’ live

[@edenw7749]

I missed who you said must have got her influences from Sarah Vaughan. Would live to know who that is.

[@TheCharlieSmithChannel]

Samara Joy 😉. Enjoy! She's amazing

[@cbreez40]

The original Divine One..and this is with a cold...lol

[@luminiferous1960]

Another recommendation, Sarah Vaughan singing "The More I See You" live in 1963: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnOodWyCjLinp68

[@luminiferous1960]

I recommend you react to Sarah Vaughan scat singing "Sassy's Blues" live in 1963 in this KZbin video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJ7Mq4tsjZl-sLM Sassy is one of Sarah Vaughan's nicknames. Sinatra had the greatest respect for Sarah and famously said: “Sassy is so good now that when I listen to her I want to cut my wrists with a dull razor.”

[@ReesesPieces634]

Looks like you need to do Eva Cassidy next..... bring tissue

[@The144Kth]

Why is everyone reacting to her at less than her best? The fact that she had a cold at the time, does negatively impact her voice.

[@TheCharlieSmithChannel]

I think we're all inteligent enough to take that into account 🤨. There's really no need to be so overprotective

[@The144Kth]

If this were my first time hearing her, and she announced that she had a cold, l would immediately have gone to search for an example of her singing unimpaired. That would have been the intelligent thing to do.

[@TheCharlieSmithChannel]

@@The144Kth there's such a thing as doing another video...... 🙄 Jesus wept! This really isn't complicated. What have you got your knickers in such a twist for?

[@user-tv3zv2gk7v]

Rubbish. You didn't say one insightful or intelligent thing about what makes that an outstanding vocal performance...

[@TheCharlieSmithChannel]

Then go and watch someone else. You're the only one bitching about it 🙄

[@darrylmccants7280]

Dude get a grip on yourself. What you just did was ruin a wonderful performance by all the interruptions by you that were just way over the top. What you should have done was pretend that you were in the audience watching and enjoying the performance then comment after the performance was finished. It just bothers me that all you reaction people spend more time talking through the performance rather than listening to it.

[@TheCharlieSmithChannel]

Orrr, how about this, don't watch a fkn review if you don't want to hear a review..... 😂 We have to stop the video to adhere to the terms of fair use for copyright. Otherwise the video gets blocked and we waste 5 hours of work. So why don't YOU get a grip and stop bitching about something you completely have the power to not watch. I actually cannot beleive that needs spelling out to you. Idiot!

[@darrylmccants7280]

@@TheCharlieSmithChannel you can bet i won’t watch your crap. I’d rather listen to the music and enjoy it. So go ahead and talk yourself to death. You’re not an expert on Music to start with so listen to you is meaningless. Don’t bother to reply…
