For a sixty-year old singer, this would be great. For a 90-year old, it's literally unbelievable. Amazing breath and voice control and superb perfoming skill.

I can't stop smiling. Seeing that young audience appreciate Marilyn is wonderful.

[@mistersurrealist]

I'm completely flabbergasted by Ms. Marilyn Maye's performance at 90 years old.
She's so youthful, so full of energy and her voice is still extraordinary after so many decades.

[@russbear31]

It's 2023. Marilyn is about to turn 95. She's still singing and sounds just as good. I've seen here perform a few times because I live in Kansas City, where she has livec for about 70 years. She has always been a fixture and an icon here. 😊

I can't believe what I just watched. FANTASTIC!

[@terrismith5901]

Why doesn't she get the same attention as. Tony Bennett

[@MrDavfit]

Met her in 1989 ....she pulled up in her gold Lincoln town car. With same lashes lol...what a Strong Vibrant lady .....glad she is still around ..not a surprise.... they make them strong in Kansas

[@picturefan2009]

This is absolutely wonderful. Very different to the golden standard that is Shirley Horn's version. Just brilliant. What a woman!

[@ManagerGuy1]

Great! Her vocals are still great as when she was lots younger! Amazing !

[@gxl5892]

So happy to see Marilyn's wonderful performance. Most important that the younger generations see this amazing singer and as Ella Fitzgerald called her one greatest singers ever.

Wow! What a joy to hear and see today (April 18, 2021) Marilyn Maye's wonderful rendition of the totally new-to-me piece, "Here's to Life." At 82, I am so grateful to You Tube for making much of her music available, especially this uniquely personal triumph. What a HUGE repertoire of hits she has over decades, that she always makes her own! How especially proud Kansas must be of its special daughter. Many thanks to Harry Connick Jr. for making her appearance possible for the huge, grandly enthusiastic young crowd!

[@fayebradford3197]

Would choose her over Barbara Streisand!

[@shizuehicks7442]

[@davidmiller3652]

Just magnificent, Happy 90Th Marilyn !

[@kswendat]

My favorite female entertainer, since my childhood!

[@10lassie]

Thanks Alan. Saw her at Suttmillers Dinner Club in Dayton around 1970.

[@ladyladidah]

It is actually a brilliant performance and the fact she is a contemporary of Ella Fitzgerald; but more than this to state she is good for 90 seems a bit of a backhanded compliment because she is a far greater communicator in song and that is only enhanced by her experience and chops

[@shanekasunich9756]

Wow 90 and she sounds great and looks great

[@emmie0331]

Just saw her last night in Provincetown, MA. 96 years old and still incredible!

[@PhilAlumb]

She's a TREASURE.

[@jpozenel]

This is crazy! Didn't someone tell her a 90 year-old woman can't sing like that? (Thank God they didn't.)

[@fayebradford3197]

She's amazing! She will be around for her 100th years! God bless 🙏

[@diversekayaker]

Awesome!!!

[@MikeA15206]

The audience is so uneducated on jazz they didn’t know when it was over. Amazing job at any age MM but at 90 them some sweet tones.

[@mpatterson6547]

Simply the best. I love her

[@fayebradford3197]

Her breath is still strong! Lucid and clear!😮

[@CalebHerscher7155]

Beautiful voice.......amazing song

[@JamesWrightKC]

Kansas City's own

[@mikeq6384]

Marilyn is one CLASS ACT !!! True talent seldom seen these days !!!!

[@dannybex]

Hmmm. Never heard of her before. Where was she when say Margaret Whiting and Helen O'Connell, etc., were making comebacks in the early 80's?

[@VampireLibbyHodges]

She is a legend. I heard of her. Nice you finally expanded your musical taste to include the greatest American Cabaret singer that ever lived. She is a working musician.

[@sharidoak9565]

My kids take voice from her daughter!!! She's amazing, too!
