Body And Soul ..... Ruth Brown 

this song is amazing. and the great Late Ruth Brown had an incredible voice. I appreciate her talent. The piano was fantastic. I could listen to this song all night and day. Oh My Goodness.

Talk about stage presence. No props, no background singers. She barely moved a muscle. The gown and a simple spot light and with that she nailed it. You cant help being drawn in. Its as if she's the only woman in the world telling her man how she feels. "I love you body and soul". WOW!!!!

every singer that ever lived has sung this majestic classic of a song....so many versions...but ruth brown is terrific here

If the singers, today, would just shut up and deliver a song like this they 'might' be masters of emotion like the great Ruth Brown just did. This was magnificent!!

Ruth was my friend. My husband was her sax player in Vegas. What a great video. My life changed when we became friends. Forever missed Miss B.

MESMERIZING!!!!!!!!

Mr. Barrett just brought me another gem from Lady Ruth - Antell is all in..

Thank you !

love her...

She is DIVINE!

Top Line..

Thank you so much for posting Miss Ruth Brown knocking it out of the park with Body & Soul. I was lucky to see Black & Blue three times, and meet Miss Brown a couple of times as well. What a giant in entertainment, what a talent, what a woman!

I hear Billie and Phyllis Hyman in that voice. I watched this too many times. wow

I fell in love with the song and Ms. Brown when I first heard her do this on BLACK and BLUE the video.

Beautiful, stunning. Thanks.

There will never be an other greater talent in my book.

At first i didn't like the way she was singing this song but she change my mind she did Kick Ass......

so wonderfully over the top

Great performance! Great play! We were lucky to see it in our one and only visit in NY 1990!

yassss!! yasssss! yassss!!!!! Catch and learn!!!!!

WOW Wonderful version of a truly great tune. Agree 100% with Shirley Bartee From a 70yo Aussie fan.

Ruth Brown started her recording career in 1949. It's incredible that she sang like this 40 years later!

Just discovering this great talent! Thanks so very much for this upload.

Forgot to mention that great audio quality! Powerful, wonderful.

RUTH BROWN DIED IN 2006 R.I.P.

My favorite vocal version of this song. Coleman Hawkins does my favorite jazz version.

WOW HERMOSO !!! ESTO ES VERDADERAMENTE HERMOSO ! WOW

Excuse me, I want to ask you ... do you have full black&blue musical video ? I really want to see that... sorry to bother you.

DIVA

Black and Blue was never commercially released on DVD. Our tap group is hoping to borrow a home-taped VHS copy of the full 2-hour 1993 PBS Special to digitize for our personal use. If you have such a tape and are willing to lend it to us, please contact me at: thedrsjunk @T gmail D0T com

No one could beat the Queen of jazz Ella Fitzgerald! Not even her
