Vocalist Reaction To Sarah Vaughan | Somewhere Over The Rainbow

[@monsieurlewop]

I can't tell you how pleasing it is to see people continuing to discover Sarah some 34 years after her death. She's simply the greatest singer there has ever been.

[@ellasaraharetha]

Monsieur, I saw Sarah several times in concert. She was even more incredible. I miss her terribly. I don't think we will ever come close to her genius.

[@monsieurlewop]

@@ellasaraharethaShe was scheduled to perform at a John Lennon memorial concert here in the UK but died a month earlier. She had been mortally ill for about 7 months by then so the booking must have been made long before. Her replacement at the concert was Kylie Minogue, what a joke!

[@cherylrobinson1885]

No one can top her in my book

[@jimmybalantyne5545]

I'd go to war for Sarah Vaughan... Happily.

[@robertcurry7664]

Interesting to note that Ella Fitzgerald went on record saying that she thought Sarah V was the best singer of her generation.

[@rebeccajensen6746]

Well that was fabulous.

[@billmarshall5040]

She was beautiful! That voice and technique were impeccable. 😊😊😊😊😊

[@cptight88]

Any of her songs from the 1964 show where "Misty" was from or her 1967 tour with Bob James trio are also exquisite. "The Shadow of Your Smile" is breathtaking.

[@andrewwoodgate3769]

Almost as delightful as listening to Sarah was watching your face as you reacted 😘

[@utha2665]

It's the subtle things that Sarah Vaughan does that makes her so special. Those little glissandos, the small runs and use of vibrato, note choice, along, of course, with the impeccable tone and pitch. I've had this discussion before, and it's my opinion, of course, I'm not a big fan over over using massive vocal runs, but they are sublime when used in what I call a tasteful manner, just like Sarah did. A beautiful timeless song, thanks Charlie, and well reacted.

[@bryanCJC2105]

I'm a Gen X'er but my Mom loved Sarah Vaughn. I remember hearing her when I was a kid but it was an adult that I truly appreciated her talent. I love her voice. I like listening to her sing "Black Coffee", "Broken Hearted Melody" and "Misty".

[@jeffwhyte5867]

she and nina simone were my fav's in the 60's. Sarah Vaughan's 'Misty' was a must listen at every gathering

[@williehorne4925]

I saw her in an outdoor festival in Baltimore in the 80s and she sang Someone to Watch Over Me . The crowd was completely silent and mesmerized by her voice. Divine one is an accurate description of her . What a voice.

[@d.j.starling3559]

One of my favorite singers!! Always loved this rendition of Over The Rainbow. Sensational Sarah - that could be her name!! She'll astonish you with every song you hear her sing. Some great duets with Billy Eckstine, too!

[@avogrid296]

I love how she extends every phrase and every note so effortlessly, and even though you know she has incredible breath control, you never notice her taking a deep breath r struggling in any way. DIVINE MAGIC!!

[@dlbwoodbury]

Entrancing! Exactly!

[@davidholiday4494]

i have loved her work for many years . i was able to see her perform in a small club in london.( ronnie scotts ) and she was magnificent. if you like this version of rainbow get a hold of her Live in Japan double album - may be one cd now - mid/late 70's i believe...it is immaculate.

[@shannonk.moorer9158]

My favorite version is her live 1964 performance on Sassy Swings The Tivoli, where she minors "over the rainbow" as well as the dramatic ending. That double album is a masterpiece with her in peak vocal form. Consider reacting to the soundies for You're Mine, You and The Nearness of You, running them to the end for proof that they were live vocal recordings.

[@YewtBoot]

And now, try her version of "Maria." Absolutely stunning.

[@johnthegreek5836]

Stellar, thanks I’ve never seen this performance before, she was an amazing singer

[@TheDudegalore]

This lady is the epitome of perfection. She masters the voice, the phrasing, the timing, everything. And she makes every listener cry of joy. Personally I prefer this version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYWwgneditp6f5I Also worth mentioning: Her Kirk Stuart trio is unbeatable.... there is a performance in Juan les Pins which is even better. couldn't find it...

[@kitsolo9]

Listen to Sarah Vaughan singing "Maria" live. It will change your life. Also, I Feel Pretty, and Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.

[@patrickstults3132]

There's another live performance if this tune later in her career that is spellbinding.

[@alhudayusuf2070]

Been listening to her since around 1998. I was 18 yo back then.

[@djake1107]

A most captivating, in every way, artist. When you’ve got ‘IT’ you don’t need to be mostly naked, have a mob on stage with you, gyrate and run around, crazy lights and pyrotechnics. You can wear a classy evening gown and stand in place and still command the stage while keeping the audience rapt. Way to go Charlie. Stay safe and stay well. 😎✌🏻🤙🏻🖖🏻

[@monique_peace71]

Absolutely beautiful ❤️

[@EileenSpeakman]

Oh, had to listen to this before switching the light off. There, I did say her singing was sublime, didnt I?. She's absolutely unique. I'm glad you're enjoying her music - it really is timeless. . UK. E❤

[@tony_dt2691]

Sarah Vaughan is truly one of the greatest singers ever. Her 1981 album Songs of the Beatles puts a wonderful jazz spin to those classics too - songs that would be great for you to react to! Cheers! 😊

[@WoodlandT]

Omgosh I’m so excited that a reaction channel I love is listening to The Devine One. Miss Vaughan’s rendition of Summertime that says something about “best version” in the video title will leave you speechless If you haven’t already, please react to Raye performing Mary Jane at the Montreux Jazz Festival. I’ve been saying for a while now that “Raye is what’s been missing.” Superlatives fail to adequately describe Raye. It takes an idea to even get close. The other thing I’ve been saying about Raye is that she’s like the love child of Amy Winehouse and Sarah Vaughan, yet entirely her own and entirely modern. She is extraordinary ETA - Ok I hadn’t gotten to the part where you talk about what’s been missing in music. You get it! Please do check out that Raye performance

[@Lyraa357]

Discovered your channel tonight. You covered my teen years experience with Ms. Vaughan and my fav singer currently with Adam Lambert. Plus I discovered a new interest with your enthusiasm for the Drum Corp vids. So I subscribed right away because your reactions were so honest.

[@TheCharlieSmithChannel]

Ahh thank you so much. I'm honoured to have you on board and I'm so pleased you're enjoying my videos ☺️❤️

[@quinnfields9531]

Please do more Sarah Vaughan reviews….say it isn’t so, tenderly, star eyes,so many stars and speak low

❤

[@Joseph-i1t]

I told you very early this year to find anything by her. She was the best. That real. She was what Angelina took me be back to. I am glad you found her. Notice how she is slow. The Instrumental is cool and low. 3 , Bass, Piano, Drums. Sarah the Sassy one. She can go low, low, and forever high, and higher. You were born too late man.

[@SUH73]

The one and only “Sassy”

[@annasylvester4516]

Sarah and Ella Fitzgerald are my all time faves. ❤❤❤

[@guillo2713]

[@camillespatz5081]

Michael Jackson was a genius at emoting. "Smile"

[@JazzPublicist]

My favorite of all times singer Sarah. Here's something you've never heard kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4Crh2meiNqWo5Ysi=-KiE7R5taaoKBdVO Sarah and Michel LeGrand "What are You do the rest of your Life. Blow your socks off.

[@sudelaine8653]

Again, thanks for this. As with any song, no one ever has, ever does, or ever will do it like SV! There IS another vocalist whose version of this is IMO very beautiful! Christine Ebersole is a sadly underrated singer (mostly theater) and her version of "Rainbow" gets to me every time. I'm never sure whether links put into the Comments are usable, but here's one just in case: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWOQfn18l66rha8si=eA2ZU8H7rxd2cQrr

[@JazzPublicist]

Here's a little Carmen singing Thelonious Monk "kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGTUfGajpcaGhqcsi=JCSlHvS9xS5vuDsM "Monkert's the Blues"

[@marciewalters9799]

Have you ever heard Eva Cassidy's version of Somewhere over the Rainbow? It's amazing!

[@TheCharlieSmithChannel]

A hundred times ☺️

[@anotheryou218]

Her male counterpart woulld be Mel Torme, who in his own right is a great genius of the same degree as miss Vaughan.

[@amontaineaurore4700]

You should do Ella Fitzgerald singing Summertime.

[@sueb3601]

Could you please do some more Guy Sebastian ❤❤

[@corneliuswashington-gp1we]

.....GLADYS KNIGHT...and SARAH VAUGHN ARE SINGERS...i'm just a LADY WHO SINGS....ADELE...

[@finasari-oy1lm]

Please react vanny's live performance ( datang ke pesta nikahan saudara Vanny nyanyi lagu I Surrender , Vanny nyanyi lagu She's gone) . Thanks so much brother

[@waltersposito7275]

Impeccable, beautiful, stunning, such class, every since I was a child I´ve been listening to her, to Ella, Nina, Etta, Billie, Dinah, Bessie, Peggy, Lena and so many others all equally fantastic a real treat to the ears, to the soul. Great reaction, keep bringing them back. Cheers man.

[@musicaljay7188]

Can you PLEASE react to Great Are You Lord-Darius James make sure it’s the live version it’s only about 5 minutes long if that! It’ll be an album cover of the artist with a bluish background. PLEASEEE & Thank You!

[@wacka40]

[@smrubelmedia]

Your video is very beautiful. I like it a lot. I have been trying to talk to you for a long time. I am waiting for your response. Please give me a chance to talk to you.💛💚💚

[@TheCharlieSmithChannel]

Hi there. I'm glad you enjoyed the video 🙂 How have you been trying to contact me and regarding what?

[@smrubelmedia]

Do you want to improve your video? I can do it. I am a social media expert.✌

[@TheCharlieSmithChannel]

I'm not interested thank you

[@Dannyboy.]

Don't want to diminish Sarah's performance in any way, but for me, the best rendition of this song remains Eva Cassidy's one. Unbeatable.
