Imagine anyone sounding that good when they have a cold. Her voice is spectacular. You could just close your eyes and drift off to another place. It’s a beautiful song to begin with but Sarah’s voice takes it to another level. I do remember Johnny Mathis had a monster hit with this song. You’re right Harri, Sarah Vaughan did not get the recognition she deserved. I also felt that about Dinah Washington as well. Thank you Romella for requesting this. 👏👏🥰
Around '64 or '65 we got a kitten and named him Misty. It was decades later that I found out he was named after the song. "I'm helpless as a kitten up a tree." Miss Sarah's version here is one of the best versions of this I've ever heard! Thanks for another great reaction, Harri! 😊
I was lucky enough in my life to see many great singers in concert, including Sinatra, Ella, Nancy Wilson, Tony Bennett, Steve & Eydie, & Sammy Davis, Jr, among MANY others, but not one of them had me as completely mesmerized as Sassy Sarah when she was on stage. That was the evening I found out what it sounds like to hear angels sing and she put magic in the air. Just incredible. I love her live version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow. I also love just about everything else she ever recorded. Some GREAT duets with another great voice who I saw in person, Billy Eckstine. Listen to them do Always. Not many recordings as beautiful as that.
I'm 78 and I grew up listening to Sarah. I'm so happy she is getting the attention she deserves, although she really was a big star in her day. It was Ella and Sarah. They complemented each other because Sarah was more jazzy, while Ella was more lyrical. But you can hear that she could have chosen to sing opera, her voice could do absolutely anything. It was a perfect instrument. Also her presence was wonderful.
The word used to describe Ms. Vaughan is "divine." Her "Live at Mr. Kelley's" is superb. There's Ella, Billie and others, and then there's the Divine Sarah Vaughan.
I am fortunate to have attended two live performances by Sarah Vaughan in the early 1980s, one in a small jazz club and the other in a large auditorium. She was amazing! At the end of her concert in the large auditorium, she received a thunderous standing ovation and the audience demanded encore after encore. She performed five encores receiving a standing ovation after each one. She truly lived up to her moniker "The Divine One" as she was first called by Dave Garroway in the 1940s and 1950s. Here is an event involving Sarah Vaughan and Dave Garroway which is apropos for Black History month: "So it was one day in 1948 that Garroway and three other deejays were emceeing a concert at the Chicago Theater. Sarah Vaughan came on stage and began to sing. Just then, some bigots in the balcony began throwing tomatoes at her. Sarah fled the stage. As an account the following year put it: Garroway strode to the microphone. His famous “relaxed” manner was gone. “Yes,” he told the audience, “now you know. Now you have seen in capsule form the hate which poisons the heart of America. It started the last war, and even now is starting the next. Today, hate-mongers stopped you from enjoying a great artist. Tomorrow, if you don’t halt them, hate like this, magnified into war, will kill you and your children too.” Garroway made each person in the audience understand the attack was on them as well as on Sarah, and that it had significance far greater than a few tomatoes thrown at a great Negro artist. With shouts, the people brought Sarah Vaughan back for a great ovation, and carried home in their own consciousness new and personal realization of the consequences of discrimination. Garroway, still burning with righteous indignation, also told his air audience about it, with the result that Sarah Vaughan was deluged with letters, telegrams and flowers. Garroway’s point of view had penetrated. In these troubling times, may we have the same courage to speak up when we need to." - from Garroway at Large: Garroway vs. bigotry, 1948.
One of the greatest of all time, in my humble opinion...she was the greatest, ...and the accompaniment, what happened to great music? It doesn't exist anymore... ahhhh hell...
I saw her live in the 1980s at an outdoor jazz festival in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She was great. She did say before she sang Misty that one grows to dislike a song after singing it so many times!
Harri , There was no other voice like the Sassy lady Vaughn. And sorry. There will never be, ever again. She was so Dynamical and so beautiful with what she allowed her voice to do
The greatest just had a rare chance of gracing your reaction time! You need to check the late and great Phyllis Hyman singing "Living All Alone" She was a vocal beast in her time here on Earth.
Hari, thank you so much for sharing this. It's been a long, long time since I've seen this. Sarah voice is like butter. Beautiful beautiful beautiful! An angel.
Play Misty for me, Michael and Harri. The divine Sarah! I love Roberta Flack's "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" in the movie but I'm sure Clint Eastwood would have signed off on Sarah's version of "Misty" instead to bookend Erroll Garner's original piano instrumental. Thanks for the diamonds in my ears.
My dad's favorite female singer. I'm so glad I eventually discovered her myself. Check out her version of "Fever." Better still, check out the modern-day dance remix of it.
I grew up with my mother exposing me to music like this. She had a few of 'Sassy's albums- to this day, all five of us love to put the vinyl of her on the turntable- she's pure.
Hi Harry. I saw Sarah Vaughn play live at Piedmont Park in Atlanta Ga., the summer before she passed. It was a free show. I'll never forget her sway over the day. It was sunny and so was she.
One of the two brilliant voices for years… Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan were two superb jazz singers, who could sing anything. Celebrated in the USA as the very best!
The explosion of talet from 1955-1975 meant that you got recognised for a short while. We had development in jazz, blues, country, ballads, rock, crooners, and also the development of the musicians who backed the talent. It was like turning the tap on, as most of us had never heard the likes before. At 84, I still can get the joy of the "old" music. but the classy singers, men and women are still aclaimed and rightly so.
I knew you'd like this one Harri. At the time of posting this comment there have been 9,748,845 views of the original SV video. I think I must account for 47,621 of them 😉 I watch it periodically to cleanse my aural palette. It is perfection. It could be the best video on YT. Let's also appreciate Johnny Burke for his lyrics which maintain that feather light feel of Errol Garner's instrumental.
Romello - Two great submissions this evening. I really enjoyed this one sung by the great Sarah Vaughan a superb vocalist. Well done Romello and Harri🎼🎵🎶
Hi Cynthia, Thank you for the correction; yes I did request this. Harri is probably so busy that he just got some lines crossed. 'Always great to hear from you! - Brooklyn Mike
Sensational! It is funny that you said she was a "smooth operator," because she recorded a song "Smooth Operator" in 1959. Not to be confused by the song of the same title by Sade.
I swear, I need to be in a smoky bar with a Scotch and a cigarette, wearing a sport coat and some nice shoes, instead of sitting here with a beer, shorts, bare feet and a t-shirt.
This is a memorable tune I first heard used in a movie in the 1950s. Sarah Vaughan sings it beautifully in this Quincy Jones arrangement: th-cam.com/video/Dy5HYrPwQFU/w-d-xo.html

Sarah Vaughn.....this woman is classy !!!!!!
The Divine One Sarah Vaughan 🔥🔥🔥💓 I rank her number 1 in vocalists. Her My Funny Valentine is impeccable, and my favorite Come Rain Or Come Shine
Not many voices compare to Vaughan's.... Wow! Her intonation was superb. Thank you Erroll Garner for a lovely tune....
She sang this four feet in front of me live in concert. She was phenomenal. Unforgettable. I was 18.
Very good memory you have there! The fact you were a teenager & you remember it so vividly, just goes to show what an impression she made on you.😎👍👍
Where did you see her? So fun for you at 18!! I saw her in Atlanta at a free show @ the city park in '89; I was 25.
Amazing!!
The Incredible Sarah. 'Nuf said!

Wow
An absolute master of the craft. So many techniques and all serving the song.
"As if all the weights of the world is lifted off my shoulders and feel like a feather when I hear this." Amazing commentary.
She was part of my Father's incredible record collection which was from the 30's-60's.
She was in her own category...totally exceptional.
I'm 78 and I grew up listening to Sarah. I'm so happy she is getting the attention she deserves, although she really was a big star in her day. It was Ella and Sarah. They complemented each other because Sarah was more jazzy, while Ella was more lyrical. But you can hear that she could have chosen to sing opera, her voice could do absolutely anything.

Timeless!
A True Master. I Love Her. Pete sr

Sarah Vaughan's voice is magic.
Now this is CLASS, what a Beautiful voice and woman, thank you this was spectacular, her version of Funny Valentine is spot on!
You need to hear her studio version of "Moonlight In Vermont". She hits a note at 2:30 that makes my hair stand up every time I hear it!
The Divine Sarah.
I totally agree she is a fantiatic singer. My mom hummed this song while cooking. Thanks for the memories. Love your channel. 🙏🎶👩🦳🫶
Sarah and Ella are powerhouses.❤
Sarah Vaughn is so beautiful and has a beautiful voice to match.

Sarah was the best ever! This is also her year that she would have been 100! She needs to be celebrated.
Sarah Vaughan definitely gets left out of the GOAT conversation. Enchanting and entrancing talent.
Perfect way to end the weekend.
Effortless. Greatest interpretation of this standard. What a voice! Thanks for this, Harri. I'll be checking out more of her songs, now!
She was an amazing talent! Thanks Michael and Harri!
Harri, if I had to choose one person whose voice is better than anyone else’s it would be Sarah Vaughan.
Ela foi enorme! Ouço seus discos e continuo amando cada momento que ela me proporciona! O instrumento vocal dela era ouro! Puro ouro liquido!
One of the greatest of all time, in my humble opinion...she was the greatest, ...and the accompaniment, what happened to great music? It doesn't exist anymore... ahhhh hell...

No one has the breath control, range, and purity of tone that Sarah did. She was and IS The Divine One!
Her fans across the pond called her sassy Sarah. She had a lot of fans.
The greatest just had a rare chance of gracing your reaction time! You need to check the late and great Phyllis Hyman singing "Living All Alone" She was a vocal beast in her time here on Earth.
What a gorgeous voice to go along with that beautiful smile. This is just lovely! Thanks Harri and Romello 🌺✌️
That was truly incredible. Always impeccable taste you display Harri.
Miss Sarah.....didn't need to say more.
Hari, thank you so much for sharing this. It's been a long, long time since I've seen this. Sarah voice is like butter. Beautiful beautiful beautiful! An angel.
Play Misty for me, Michael and Harri. The divine Sarah!

You're right, she's one of the greatest! I saw her live in NYC.❤ I rank her right up there with Ella, Billie and Dinah Washington as queens of jazz.
Hi Harry. I saw Sarah Vaughn play live at Piedmont Park in Atlanta Ga., the summer before she passed. It was a free show. I'll never forget her sway over the day. It was sunny and so was she.
She’s so good
Thank you for that Harri
Just Beautiful !
Perfect choice, for me she sings the best version of this master piece of Errol Garner❤❤❤
Her Greatest Hits albums showcases just how good she is. Thanks for this one
I think the description of her voice is "ethereal". Other worldly.
One of the two brilliant voices for years… Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan were two superb jazz singers, who could sing anything. Celebrated in the USA as the very best!
Also look for anita O'Day especially the recording session with Oscar Peterson
My wife and i had our wedding dance to a Sarah Vaughan recording of Misty 🤍
It's a jazz classic.
Saw Sarah in the 70s
Thank you, Harri and Michael. "The Divine One" indeed. Check out her version of "Baubles, Bangles, and Beads" from the same concert!

My goodness I forgot how incredible she was. What a talent.
Sublime just sublime

Sarahs voice was a Stradivarius, and she played it like a virtuoso. No matter how many times I listen to her perform, I still get chills.
Your next reaction should be on the Sarah Vaughan of our time, Miss Samara Joy...
A truly magical voice.
Beautiful ❤
I have an album of her singing Gershwin. On my god it’s gorgeous. Her cover of “ Summertime “ stunning ☮️
Never , never ever. With only 3 bit of instruments. No one ever tried to copied her.
my favorite, an incredibly beautiful voice. I listen to it over and over again.
For a very different version of this song check out Ray Stevens' one. He won a Grammy Award for it in 1975.
What a voice. Woo!
Romello - Two great submissions this evening. I really enjoyed this one sung by the great Sarah Vaughan a superb vocalist. Well done Romello and Harri🎼🎵🎶
Pure class and beauty. I also like Johnny Mathias version of this aong
Pure melody
Hi Harri, Thank you for doing my request; I knew that you would appreciate it! - Brooklyn Mike
I think Michael Plotino requested this one Harri.
Great selection by the way
Hi Cynthia, Thank you for the correction; yes I did request this. Harri is probably so busy that he just got some lines crossed. 'Always great to hear from you! - Brooklyn Mike
@@michaelplotino7046 Yes I am sure it is easy to get lines crossed. Take care Michael. ✌
Sensational! It is funny that you said she was a "smooth operator," because she recorded a song "Smooth Operator" in 1959. Not to be confused by the song of the same title by Sade.
The Divine One! 🎶♥️
The breath control!
Omigosh! Sarah can sang! Embarrassed to say I haven't heard her before.
👍👍👍
Hi Mr. Harri., As many others have stated Ms. Sarah is one of a kind; she is Greatness personified.. Have U heard of Ms. Samara Joy ?? ♠Mr.G..
She carried me away
I swear, I need to be in a smoky bar with a Scotch and a cigarette, wearing a sport coat and some nice shoes, instead of sitting here with a beer, shorts, bare feet and a t-shirt.
I love Sarah Vaughan! Sorry Aretha.
Dinah Washington!
And this is with a cold?!! I'm old enough to know her songs, but guess I never really appreciated her voice before.
❤❤❤❤❤😮
This is a memorable tune I first heard used in a movie in the 1950s. Sarah Vaughan sings it beautifully in this Quincy Jones arrangement: th-cam.com/video/Dy5HYrPwQFU/w-d-xo.html
Many americans at the time didnt know of her or had heard her sing because of racism within in the music / entertainment industry.
Nobody even comes close.
