- "Misty" is a jazz standard written in 1954 by the pianist Erroll Garner. Originally composed as an instrumental following the traditional 32-bar format, the tune later had lyrics by Johnny Burke and became the signature song of Johnny Mathis.
Sarah Lois Vaughan (March 27, 1924 -- April 3, 1990) was an American jazz singer, described by Scott Yanow as having "one of the most wondrous voices of the 20th century." Nicknamed "Sailor" (for her salty speech), "Sassy" and "The Divine One", Sarah Vaughan was a Grammy Award winner. The National Endowment for the Arts bestowed upon her its "highest honor in jazz", the NEA Jazz Masters Award, in 1989.
Vaughan was born in Newark, New Jersey, to Asbury "Jake" Vaughan, a carpenter by trade who played guitar and piano, and Ada Vaughan, a laundress who sang in the church choir, migrants from Virginia. The Vaughans lived in a house on Brunswick Street in Newark for Vaughan's entire childhood. Jake was deeply religious. The family was active in New Mount Zion Baptist Church at 186 Thomas Street. Vaughan began piano lessons at the age of seven, sang in the church choir, and played piano for rehearsals and services. Sarah and her family were all registered Democrats.
She developed an early love for popular music. In the 1930s, she frequently saw local and touring bands at the Montgomery Street Skating Rink. By her mid-teens, she ventured illegally into Newark's night clubs and performed as a pianist and singer at the Piccadilly Club and at Newark Airport.
Vaughan attended East Side High School, then transferred to Newark Arts High School, which opened in 1931. As her nocturnal adventures as a performer overtook her academic pursuits, she dropped out of high school during her junior year to concentrate more fully on her music.
In 1989, Vaughan's health began to decline, although she rarely revealed any hints of this in her performances. She canceled a series of engagements in Europe in 1989, citing the need to seek treatment for arthritis of the hand, although she was able to complete a series of performances in Japan. During a run at New York's Blue Note Jazz Club in 1989, she was diagnosed with lung cancer and was too ill to finish the last day of what would turn out to be her final series of public performances.
Vaughan returned to her home in California to begin chemotherapy and spent her final months alternating stays in the hospital and at home. She grew weary of the struggle and demanded to be taken home, where at the age of 66 she died on the evening of April 3, 1990, while watching Laker Girls, a television movie featuring her daughter.
Her funeral was held at Mount Zion Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey. Following the ceremony, a horse-drawn carriage transported her body to Glendale Cemetery, Bloomfield.
Parallels have been drawn between Vaughan's voice and those of opera singers. Jazz singer Betty Carter said that with training Vaughan could have "gone as far as Leontyne Price." Bob James, Vaughan's musical director in the 1960s said that "the instrument was there. But the knowledge, the legitimacy of that whole world were not for her ... But if the aria were in Sarah's range she could bring something to it that a classically trained singer could not."
In a chapter devoted to Vaughan in his book Visions of Jazz (2000), critic Gary Giddins described her as the "ageless voice of modern jazz - of giddy postwar virtuosity, biting wit and fearless caprice". He concluded by saying that "No matter how closely we dissect the particulars of her talent ... we must inevitably end up contemplating in silent awe the most phenomenal of her attributes, the one she was handed at birth, the voice that happens once in a lifetime, perhaps once in several lifetimes."
Sarah's accompanied by Kirk Stuart (piano), Charles "Buster" Williams (bass), and Georges Hughes (drums). Recorded in Sweden, 1964. (Mercury Records)
Look at me,
I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
Feel like I'm clinging to a cloud
I can't understand,
I get misty just holding your hand.
Walk my way,
And a thousand violins begin to play
Might be the sound of your hello
That music I hear,
I get misty the moment you're near
And you can see that you're leading me on
And it's just, and it's just what I want you to do
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm following you.
On my own,
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left,
My hat from my glove,
I'm too misty, and too much in love.
And you can see that you're leading me on
And it's just, and it's just what I want you to do
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm following you.
On my own,
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left,
My hat from my glove,
I'm too misty, and too much in love
I get too misty, and too much in love - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน

"I'm sorry I've got a cold today" ... procedes to give one of the most musically flawless performances in history
Yes the most Amazing Performance
It is now 2024....60 years later and this voice can still blow the doors off anyone singing today!
2024 still eargasmic
Yes, it goes to our soul
Ms. Sarah had a cold and you couldnt even tell it. What a professional artist and such a classy lady.❤️
So totally amazing. Such performances are only left to history now.
AGREED. I've always preferred this stuff.
She's so shy and nervous, then she starts to sing... OMG. Total control, but not "controlled". Genius. And those musicians are the coolest cats around. What a joy.
You nailed it!! Truth spoken!!
Yes! What a wonderful creature she was.
What a. Genuine, but admirational comment.i guess you know about sentiments, and music Sir
Personally I don’t think she’s that nervous. Just a little magician’s trick. She wants to feel out the audience so she starts just talking while she cases the joint, only to pull the rug out with her voice. The clumsy rambling allows for a more gripping introduction of the tune
But when she started.....
Ms. Sarah Vaughan is EXTREMELY underrated. She isn't talked about enough and that's sad! What a pure, beautiful, PERFECT voice!!!!
She is a legend. Only people who dont know anything about music underrate her...
under rated by Who? Do you say this about everyone born before you . She is a legend , what do you want?
Kelly Perry
I totally agree with you .
Exquisite !
Overshadowed by Ella Fitzgerald.
Not that Ella was better.
But Ella had a terrific agent/manager, perhaps you've heard of him -- Norman Granz -- who happened to also own a record company -- Verve Records -- with guess who as its top star -- yup, Ella Fitzgerald.
Together they were a jazz team hard to top from the 1950's onward.
Norman did all of Ella's top bookings for concerts, nightclubs, special appearances, etc.
All Ella had to do was SING.
Sarah was a wonder, but she just didn't have the right representation and manager Ella had.
Makes all the difference in the world.
Sounds like Samara Joy was absolutely paying attention to Ms Vaughan and what a fantastic tribute that is! When I think of the great ladies of song Sarah Vaughan is at the top of my list along with Dinah Washington and Ella Fitzgerald
I'm a professional classical singer, and college level voice teacher. This voice is SO technically flawless, and so musically perfect: no autotune needed. She is a GODDESS.
Nobody like her, and probably never will be.
I can listen to that voice 24/7.
That's because back then - actually up until a just a few years ago, relatively speaking - singers had to be able to really sing or everyone knew they were crap. Now any untalented stump can be a pop star since apparently not too many listeners can hear the obvious twang of autotune.
And she has a cold , Damm voice , wonderful absolutely, so sweet and deep
I don't think you can even autotune to her. It is so much more than autotune could accomplish.
She had such a wonderful tone but it was her technique that really wins us over.
She looks so innocent and cute when she speaks and as soon as she starts singing, she seems so confident and elegant
Etta James gospel weather Etta James stop the wedding
ABSOLUTLY ! SHE SEEMED SO SWEET ! SO SHY ! BUT AS SOON AS SHE SANG SHE BEWITCHED YOU
So true!
ไพเราะมากค่า
After recently recording the vocal to God Bless the Child as a Chadwick Boseman tribute, I started to look for a version done by Sarah Vaughan, but have not found one yet. She probably sang it Live somewhere. If anyone finds it, kindly let me know; would love to hear it. Perhaps she stayed away from it in records because it was so intimately connected to Billie Holiday? Maybe...
watching for the first time in 2024 😭. this performance is so powerful!!!
For real
Sarah Vaughan is one of the greatest singers ever! This is a magical performance.
And she had a cold while singing this!!!!
Her voice alone is a musical instrument - perfectly tuned, despite her cold. Extraordinary to hear.
EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agree🌺🌺🌺🌺
She was called The Divine One!
She almost apologized for her cold and then sing like a goddess. OMG.
They don't make them like this anymore Mariel!
Wraps you in a velvet dream x
She's Adorable❗
She sweat that cold out....right there on that stage under them bright ass lights. You can see her sweating all roun the neck.
She is a goddess! Of that there is no doubt!!
Her vocal control is still unbelievable to this day. This is back when you had no other choice but singing flawlessly ONLY with your vocal. No back up plan, no autotune. OMG this is gold
I agree with everything you said. Sarah was simply an amazing talent, classy talent.
Jamie Sullivan is on these heights too
So true...I had the honour of seeing Johny Mathis perform Misty in Jhb SA it was his opening number...It was the day Erroll Gardiner passed...
@@kazkazzie3906
Amazing...beautiful...first artist I heard live when I was a mere eleven years old...promptly got her records...
ORO PURO ORO LIQUIDO QUE BAJA DELOS CIELOS.
Her timing, dynamics, vibrato, phrasing... everything just so perfect. And on one of the greatest popular love songs ever written.
This songs puts me in a time at the speakeasy with the little lamp in the table with a soft light and just enjoying the music.😎😎
I like this, but i like the Johnny Mathis version more.
Good lord...I've never heard such a beautiful, such an expressive, such a full and accurate voice, delivered so playfully, so fluidly, so freely....she doesn't even look like she's trying, just having fun...I think I've fallen in love.
A Real fantasy
She does have a beautifully pretty unmatched voice, and so humble, but still so strong.and Sir your comment was felt so sincere
i mean...so beautiful
Obviously, she makes you misty.
You must love James Brown then.
Who is listening in 2020??
Absolutely beautifully and pure stunning vocals. Classy and very elegant, many should wish to achieve a fraction of this with no help from today's technology.
Loving Sarah on 2/16/20!!! The woman was magically gifted with that incomparable voice!
Anyone who grew up hearing that amazing voice!
Wonderful performance from one of the greats!
2020?
This is going to eternity.
Feb 22, 2020. First time I've heard the great Sarah Vaughn. Despite having just come down with a cold, she is still awesome!
Please excuse me, I'm singing in my "SICK" voice tonight.....this is Sarah sick.....LEGENDARY!!!!
Ha, when she said she was sick, I was expecting some congestion and a little rhaspiness, and then she opened her mouth and the first note was like heaven....
Harold Smither don’t want to hear her when she’s not sick lol.
This comment killed me. 🤣😂🤣😂
you da homeboy for this comment. much love
And she really _was_ nervous! Precious, and humble. Any sick, nerve wracked performance of Ms. Sassy, would be life, and _after_ life, goals for the _rest_ of us!
This is the best version of every Misty
Sigh. I’ve watched this dozens of times. Immaculate. Class, elegance, sophistication, restraint, control. The coolest band of dudes supporting her. Modern artistes should watch this and weep
The fact that she is singing flawlessly while sick. I don't know if she had a fever or it was just hot, but she is literallay dripping sweat AND still sounds like her voice is playing from a recording.
That is just passion and talent drip
I totally agree. Flawlessly
Those stage lights were hot and they probably wanted to see her sweat. She sang effortlessly right through it.
@@lovevluv what do you mean they wanted to see her sweat?
@@onepiecegotmeinlove691 Yes, I also wonder what 'they' mean....
It's /was true that the lights are incredibly strong and that (from experience), sweat really shows up. Because they're sweating their souls out with brilliance!
She was one of God's greatest gifts to the world.
I agree what a beautiful singer,what a voice
She was the voice..I was brought up playing my dads vinyls from 6yr old..only 8 octive voice to beat to this day!💜 she was an Angel with sailor ways with the boys!..I have my dads records now at 56..never tire of her..listen to some 1 to watch over me live..she is the voice & orchestra..love her x
Don’t know about God. But sure she was a gift....
@@stephenmazzulli1928 was that really necessary?
Ms. Vaughan's voice will always be a national treasure.
When she sings it's like a faucet got turned on and liquid velvet poured out.
I was just thinking of velvet--great description!
How very well said!
Honestly, so is her speaking voice.
Nailed it.
Yes 🥰
This was going to be background music while i folded my laundry. The minute she started to sing i had to sit down and listen. WOW!
Heyy another dante!
Thought I was the only one he had a laundry folding playlist🤷🏾♂️🤣
@@andrewilson5626 laundry, cleaning, mopping, dishes.. 😅
Lol, i do my laundry 2 this too
This recording is such a treasure. Ms Vaughan was a one-off, and her treatment of this song is incomparable.
Play
This performance is incomparable. It is simply sublime.
She sounds a billion times better than 99.9% of people when they’re perfectly healthy 😩
Thats true, saludos desde Laredo Texas.
You read my mind
Beautiful version of Misty!
pp
True , exquisite, sound. No comparison today.
She’s 42 in this clip-Top of her game as a vocalist.. What a gift that these legendary performances were recorded. 55 years later and we’re still loving it! 💚
Magnificent...
42!! Gracious she looks about 28. Absolute perfection
@@stevenzarch1092 ME TOO! I'm 81...TAKE CARE!!
A gift indeed!!
Thanks
That little apology before she breaks the sound barrier is incredible.
Sarah Vaughn. A legend. She is deep, loving, and powerful. I love her. An old singer, white, 66 year old from Ashland Oregon. She melts me. Such expression and tone.
Absolutely one of the finest singers ever to stand in front of a microphone. She and Ella Fitzgerald were world-class talents.
Fred Azbell Absolutely!
Two of the best.
Literally, two of the true queens.
Indeed!
They come and perform Once in our lifetime.
As someone in their early 20s, It is so difficult to find others who listen to this genre of music.
Her voice will never cease to leave me speechless ❤️
what are you talking about lol who doesn’t like jazz
@@noobking3000 mmh, unfortunately, so many people doesn't like it :/
i do, but i don't know anyone else who love it
Sassy blues is my favorite
as a 15 yr old I agree, I can't find much ppl who love listening to this genre
One thing I have noticed is that when young people like jazz they are really passionate and knowledgeable about it. Hashtag hope for the future
I've always Been a hard core rock n Roller but since I've gotten older I've been enjoying stuff I would have never listened to otherwise. This is a complete masterpiece
Just melt every time she opens her mouth. 😍 chills!
Beautiful how are you doing
I feel the same
When she speaks here to the Swedish audience in 1964, she peeps like a nervous schoolgirl, but, from the very first note out of her mouth, we hear a consummate professional, a confident, brilliant, collected, musical powerhouse. They didn't call her "the Divine Sarah Vaughan" for nothing. And, working seamlessly along with her brilliant trio (Kirk Stuart (piano), Charles "Buster" Williams (bass), and Georges Hughes (drums), she produces the kind of singing that sends shivers up your spine.
Robert Thorpe breathtaking
Thank You For Telling Us Who The Musicians Are
That little girl speaking voice, followed by the biggest, boldest, most perfect voice in jazz or pop music--changing meanings with her elocution of a single word.
@@ognet George Hughes--when he showed up at a Chicago session, it swung harder than with any previous drummer.
I believe that Sarah Vaughan is the greatest female singer of the 20th century.
As soon as she started singing, I started crying, lol. What a beautiful experience...
I started crying like a baby.just so southing for the heart and soul
Same here I love music
😂😅😆 HAHAHA YEAHHH I WAS WITH YOU ON THAT.
same here
Hard to explain, but so did I.
From the first line, "Look at me....", she has you completely hooked and mesmerized. The quiet, soft parts of the song are as majestic as the loud vibrato that trails those loud, confident parts.
Ms Vaughan, your "Misty" is as close to magic as one can ever experience. Thank you.
Absolutely stunning, her voice makes my cry it's perfection!! And she had a cold!!
Wow that's amazing to hear you say how are you doing
That’s what you call a true professional.
As a young teenager my dad would always tell me “come see your cousin on TV”. I never really paid too much attention to her, I thought my Dad was joking. Turns out Sara Vaughan was my Daddy’s Cousin from my Grandmothers side (my Dad’s Mother) Although she spelled her last name a little different from us. Someone once told me that I looked like Sara when she was younger when I showed him a photo of me from 1984 when I was 24 years old. I told him “she is my cousin from my Dads side of the family. Just thought I would share. 😀
Wow!
Maxine Vaughn-Ayala can u sing ?
Maxine Vaughn-Ayala Thank your for sharing this wonderful anecdote. Your cousin was a great music artist.
Well congrats to you on your famous cousin She was lovely in every way
Maxine Vaughn-Ayala very nice story ♥️✌️
She is so shy and coy at the start then blows you away with her voice. Absolutely beautiful!
L
SHE ALWAYS TALKED LIKE THAT, THEN SHE'D UNLEASH HER FOUR OCTAVES IN SONG.
@@MICHGO1 Little girl speaking voice, then the biggest singing voice of all.
@@caponsacchi All of this WITH a cold!!!!! OMG........
Agreed.
Wow!!!
Honestly, when she sang, the wind stopped blowing, birds stopped churping, and the tides stood still!!!😮
The best singers in the world are all gone.
Y'all find a better live performance, without back up vocals or auto tune. I'll wait... This GODDESS is sweating with a friggin' cold and still delivered.
Seth Mikell if anyone NEEDS auto-tune, well then, that’s no musician/vocalist.
She was moreso sweating under the lights and the wig that she, unfortunately, was forced to wear due to the times. God bless her.
CORONA! Sorry , its an automatism now
yes.
Es verdad, muy profesional, y muy bella voz, saludos desde Laredo Texas.
Listen closely, folks, because this is REAL singing!
As a person who has been training vocals for many years I absolutely agree with you.
Yes!! No Autotune!! Everything Real!!
Yes it is.
That's what the GREAT; ANITA O'DAY said........FO SHO.
Her voice is so calming while speaking and so emotional while singing.
It`s utterly magic that the time machine can get us 60 years back to Sweden and lets us see Sarah Vaughan like that.
My word. A voice like honey. A true and sincere talent. So vulnerable in front of people. What a lovely lady.
Sarah, first apologized for not knowing how to speak Swedish!
Has a cold, stays on the beat and nails Misty. SV, so classy so sweet
Nah the way she just flowed into singing from speaking. Truly a legend
Today is 5 December 2022, just last week I was singing this song to my 21 year old son, telling him it was one of my dad's absolute favourites. I often heard him sing this throughout my childhood. Now today, this just miraculously appears on my YT feed 🥰
I love you daddy. I miss you. Very much. ♥️
RiP 🕊 Cape Town South Africa
My mom also turned me onto her ❤
😢❤
That's beautiful to hear you say how are you doing
Why TH-cam exist? Maybe this is the answer. Masterwork.
She was so beautiful, classy, elegant & talented. She makes me so proud to be a black woman, I just wish the black entertainers today had this much class. I have always looked up to women from that era, growing up that's what I wanted to be.
Tammatha Billings, I concur. The inimitable Sarah Vaughan was exquisite. She was blessed with prodigious musical talent, and equally admirable class. Have you ever heard her play the piano? She was a very skilled pianist, as well. She was intelligent, talented, witty, kind, and unpretentious. Sarah was from an era that has sadly passed: Ella Fitzgerald, Carmen McRae, Rosemary Clooney, Eydie Gorme, Dinah Shore, etc. Most of today's vocalists can't compare to these lovely ladies - in talent, elegance, or humility. There were no gimmicks, sideshows, vulgarity, or controversy. They just gave us the gift of their sublime voices.
Yes she was indeed and you should be proud to be a black woman. Black women rock.
Its not just Black Singers that lack class, class is lacking from almost all performers. I cant understand why performers dont value class any more.
Sad how there's always someone to bring colour into it. Most people don't give a shit about colour and that's progress.
They're out there Tammatha. This woman is wonderful. Cecile McLorin Salvant.

In my opinion, this is one of the best performances I've ever heard. Pratically perfect !
it is perfect
**Couldn't Agree MORE 🙌👏**
EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@michaeltrocchia4554 Absolutely, not 'practical' in it. Some have heard bad singing so long they don't know prefection when they hear it!!!
@viola053, 'practically perfect"" Oops! you misspelled the word, FLAWLESS!!!
You're forgiven.
Happy listening!!!
I saw her in Brest (France) where I lived it was a four days jazz festival, a lot of artists and stars, never forgotten the good mood of "Sassy" her smile and warm voice late at night under the rain!
the fact that she is sick and still did a stunning performance!! Encore!!! 👏🙌🥰💕💕
No cursing, no nudity... This lady was beautiful, elegant and classy. Her voice was spectacular majestic.
A true QUEEN
Where are these naked cursing jazz singers? Where the hell are you watching that?
Sarah "Sassy" Vaughan cursed like a sailor -- but she did it OFF the mic. That's why she's still classy.
I agree with the majestic comments but today's music is forced on us to some extent by a business model that supports degrading language to record sales. The correlation is accurate for hip hop and RnB because when an artist does not use some vulgar language the record sales decline.
She was literally called "sailor" due to her language as well as "sassy" because of her personality.
She’s sweating out a fever and still the show must go on🥰 they cancel tours for less than that now a days. She’s class.
The sweating wasn't a fever, if you look at BB King or Sister Rosetta Tharpe and probably some others, they would sweat because air conditioning wasn't what it is today and they were belting out songs with everything they got. But that would be savage if it was a fever !
galaraka she literally said she was sick.
@@thesimplepeachify yeah I know, she was referring to a sore throat, I still remain unconvinced it's a fever since many other performers sweat just the same because of the energy they put into their performance and the lack of air conditioning. Just have to agree to disagree :)
Nah she was sweating because of the wig she was wearing under the hot studio lights. When you're naturally prone to sweating profusely in heat, this is exacerbated by wearing a wig. Watch her 50s performances before the fashion for wigs emerged in the 60s and she doesn't sweat like this. From the 60s when she began wearing wigs she was almost always soaked in sweat when she performed. Same with Ella Fitzgerald and more recently Whitney Houston. It's the wigs under strong studio/stage lights that caused the sweating.
Nah. These days they care about their performers health.
I get chills every time I listen to Ms Sarah Vaughan. Such a beautiful voice and sweet melody. ❤️
May 2024. So classy, elegant and professional. She goes from nearly quiet to powerful effortlessly. Such a treasure.
"I've got a cold today" says the woman with the voice of angels.
But sang so impeccably with a cold. Amazing!
@@kazkazzie3906 I mean!
Not only her magical voice, and unique effortless phrasing but her timing is PERFECTION!!! We are not worthy!🌹
She is in the top 5 of female singers ....don’t you think ❤️
She is a virtuoso of vocals
I agree with everything you said.
It is pure artistry.
her voice is strong volume is impressive yet when she's just speaking its soft
She is just divine. In an orchestra, her voice would be the most beautiful instrument. 🌹
This reminds me of my Mom. She loved this music. I grew up listening to it. We had (Mom & I) a very mixed relationship. A lot of it has caused trauma that I deal with to this day. But, I am weeping right now because of this beautiful music and the joy it brought my mother and I was blessed to see her in that light. I was 16 years old when I learned that she too had an amazing voice and she loved to sing this song. For the time it takes to listen to this song I miss my Mom.
It saddens me that we hardly come close to having this level of talent today. This is real music you can feel deep in your soul. And what grace and class this woman exudes.
So true
She has incredible technical skills and she has a sore throat
Its hard to talk let alone simg
Well said!
"Real music by real musicians"
That's what Prince called it!
I think Whitney Houston at her peak of vocal health had an incredible tonality and dexterity
This is my favorite thing on the Internet. Can we just appreciate how casual her voice is? Something about it. Like it just falls out of her mouth. I’ve never heard anyone make it sound this easy. I love her
Whitney Houston could make it awfully easy too. Sarah is my go-to though.
Yes!! You described it well, that quality I was fascinated with 🙂
" falls out of her mouth" love this vocal description. 🤗
True no straining to hit high notes it does just fall . Beautiful intonation
Her voice is legendary. She is one of my favourite vocalists . She isnt played enough on the radio these days . Her voice reminds me of a summer's day outside in the garden relaxing with a glass of find wine.
This is a Masterclass.
Oh my good God, what a voice. What class, integrity, respect and honor. This is absolutely spellbounding. True Vocals not like today. Bless you and thank you Ms. Sarah.
Hello 👋 Barbara
How are you doing today?
There are great singers today.
Better believe it! That's Ms. Sassy Vaughan.
Truth spoken. Rest in Power Ms. Sarah Vaughan!!! Rest in power your insturment lives on!!
Now, this is beautiful, wow her voice is magical, have always loved her song
What do you admire most about her?
I saw this wonderful star at the Festival Hall London around 1960 ish. She'd damaged her ankle and had to sit on a stool all evening, turning the other way after the intermission to face the other half of the audience. Sheer joy, absolutely the best live performance by a woman singer I've ever experienced. Incomparable vocal range and style. God rest her soul.
Wow
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
Sarah was sheer perfection...elegant and sublime.
I really need that cold.
Hah! Yes! To sing like that when I'm not feeling good....
Best comment
Another masked fool!
Brian Turner 😂 SAME.
Me too
Poor thing she is sweating from the fever and she sings like an angel!
foshou citron she’s sweating from nerves lol 😂💦
Gifted. Truly gifted. Kind and giving.
Without her habits she would have likely also been without the dark things that happened to her that drove her to start such habits, and arguably, without the intense drive and desire to become such a talented individual. Sorry if this sounds strange, English is not my first language.
Fred W and what about you....are you famous? ....are you part of the jazz classics singers?....have you done something that will stand the test of time in real music?... you probably are a perfect unknown dude who only criticize people like this wonderful lady who sang like angels....better than most suckers of today
Sweating under the lights and the wig. And from the physical power that is required to sing like this 💖
Sublime ! Sarah Vaughan had the most incredible voice, so perfect and expressive. We'll forever love you, Sarah ❤️❤️
The purest voice that wasn't afraid to get dirty. While sweating out a virus, no less. Unbelievable, had it not been recorded.
She has an outstanding voice. My uncle who is 91 yrs use this for me back in the day...I am 72 yrs 👏🏽👏🏽
Mary Greer portez-vous bien tous les deux ! Bises françaises !
Wow that's amazing to hear you say how are you doing
Her voice is like the finest of satin and silk that gently caresses your body. What an angel...Mrs Vaughn thank you for being you. 🥰😍
msfatbooty06 Satin and silk...and her voice has the resonance of pure platinum with a smile that is beyond diamonds...she is luxury personified. Not one artist could hold a candle to this Goddess...Anita Baker perhaps a far second.
Amen to that....a love that cant be described in words💗
msfatbooty06 - Well said. Her vocal control is unrivaled - that vibrato is absolutely exquisite and she gently carresses those notes as she trails them off. To the point that you think the note is over but the vibrato is still carrying it. God, that is fantastic
This is how they sing back in the day, just superbbbbb
Me hace feliz saber que aun hay gente por todo el mundo que se toma el tiempo de reunirse y escuchar algo tan maravilloso como la voz de esta hermosa mujer.
Los quiero incondicionalmente.
Reconforta el alma
NO ONE, and I mean, NO ONE can do it like Sarah. She makes excellent singing seem too easy! Genius!
I dunno Ella was pretty dang good too ... don't forget Billie
I always liked Nancy Wilson , maybe not quite right at the top like Sarah but there was something about a few of her tunes , and not all great tunes are jazz , Aretha proved there could be the same levels of excellence in R&B and Dionne Warwick had a sound that tuned into the times , Whitney Houston knocked em out for a few years too
Ella, Dinah, Aretha, Billie are on the same level
Paging Ella and Aretha….
@@bobsaturday4273 we could be very good friends!! :)
If silk had a sound I would imagine it would sound like this!! Ladies had so much voice control...
Her voice control speaks volumes about her control over her medium - people who adore jazz.
I love this comment
her voice is so velvet. So insulating. It loves the stress out of your day.
Puts me in another zone. Truly blessed to have her music. So smooth 🥃🚬😌 2023
When I was 10 years old (1973) I saw her sing Send in the Clowns on tv. I got so choked up with emotion I almost burst out crying. There was no one else like her.
What a memory to have. You're lucky to have it

Whenever I hear her sing I stop whatever I’m doing and let her gift fill me. Spectacular .
Hi Friend 👋🙂
The gift that fills to overflowing. Sarah died way too young.
No one...no one...no one, sings this more beautifully. Today's singers are a waste of time.
The voice on that lady is amazing! No one like Sara Vaughn.
if that is singing with a cold.......
...wow ......love her voice !
donna lee
probably she just wanted to explain the fact that she is sweating like a pig (a beautiful, classy, unforgettable pig)
Come on Sally AHAHAHAH
Cold . She was so sweaty . Her voice is unreal , unbeliavable .
Just as good as she sings when she doesn't have one. Superb!
Sarah's voice is one of the best live voices to ever have performed, her breath control is absolutely amazing.
God bless you, Sarah.
My name is Sarah :O
Give the Lord thanks for blessing us with this divine gift
Boom! Three notes "Look at me" and you know realize you're in the presence of genius.
What a gift to the world.
Robert Versluis amen
This is the era when black women had talent! So sad for this generation!
Amen
man, she was a goddess.
Une vraie déesse
I know and i couldn't agree more
San Remo ..goddess indeed!
I am even emberassed to give a thumbs up. Who are we even dare to rate a genial piece of music performed by genies. TH-cam shall add " clap" button for amateur fans such as us....
my god...never forget , we were once great as a great and gifted people.
She lingers every note perfectly! You can hear how she interprets loves lingering, drawing and encapsulating ability, and how love gets you completely caught in its web! Love it, Vaughn🥰
👍👍
I could listen to Sarah for HOURS! I’m in the process of collecting all of her records. I’m 22 with an old soul❤️❤️❤️
@Felecia Morris me to
I wish "Bamah" was here; she'd say "I thank you very much" and most likely send you an autographed copy of your favorite.
@Caleb Me too 💜
You have EXCELLENT taste!
@@joanafernandes5761 ❤️
I discovered the magnificance of Sarah's the quality voice is its resonance quality. Her voice vibrates in the head and chest of the listener. You hear and feel her voice .
Thank you Sarah. You have left us with timeless memories. England, January, 2024.
All this talent and class and was refused to use the front door... back then!!
Wow have times changed!!
@Dennis you know what Kimberly meant!
@@ceecee8757 if we don't be very careful it'll be that way again. It's sad but true, let me tell you it was horrible, can't go through the front door. That's why it's so important to get out and vote, so many people died and we're beaten almost to death for that vert privilege and people will not vote, I can't stand in line anymore, but I still vote absentee, if you think your vote doesn't count well think again it does.my opinion only.
Ikr it’s crazy she is amazing
Kimberly Smith I fuckin’ HATE racist bullshit.
She's the one singer Sinatra always would catch after his own show when she played Vegas.
poetcomic1 they both were a gift from God
Who could blame him? I would have too if I ever had the chance.
Um....yeah! Listen, Frank had a nice tone, but he was not particularly interesting as a vocalist or musician. He's seen as a great because of his popularity and not really because of his talent (which was actually limited). No one talks about Billy Eckstine anymore....
poetcomic1 HE ALSO WATCHED BILLIE HOLIDAY AND LENA HORNE.
Sarah Vaughn, was one of a kind .!!!
Her voice and management of it, got me tearing up. It's Angelic! Make no mistake . . THAT, is a genuine God given "talent" Sarah is rockin'.
During all the woman of her ERA she is my Favorite! Some like Ella But Sarah was that Voice That make you Hyponotized by the dancing of her tone🌹
Listen to Ella sing Summertime live in Berlin. Sensational like Sarah…
