I wish she had recorded it at this tempo and with a trio. Gosh this is perfection! This entire concert moves me to complete joy every time I pull it up to enjoy!
@@theblueangel28Ella is certainly more accomplished and has a broader ability. That said, Sarah could hit operatic notes outside of Ella's range. As you implied, both were spectacular talents. I think there's some space between them and the rest.
@@terrybader8595 Yes, I think you're both right. They were both brilliant singers but they had somewhat different instruments. I think Sarah was fuller in the extremes of her register (especially high), but Ella was an elegant stylist who could inhabit a song deeply and pull you in (as in her ballads in the songbooks).When Sarah sings "I'll Close My Eyes," I am transported; when Ella sings "How Long Has This Been Going On," Im transported. They're just different modes of transportation, but both excellent.
Well put, @Branner. I listen to Ella all of the time. She's a nightingale and the undisputed queen of the American songbook. Sarah does have the ability to do things with her voice that are breathtaking. There are some great videos on RU-vid with professional music teachers critiquing Sarah. Almost all of them are astounded by her.
The ending was so superb, holding that note so tenderly it was sublime! She is the best, but I also like Mary Wells' rendition even though Sarah takes the prize.
I don't play "bests" or "my top favorite anything" these days, but I have to agree with you. I mean, if I HAD to pick just ONE it would probably be Sarah Vaughan.
I agree I have so much respect for her. I am a singer, and I mean this women was way more then a vocalist she was an instrument, she was down with the sexy baritone lines, then alto to mezzo soprano, she was just just one of a kind, one of the coolest things about the Divine Sarah, was even in her old age she never lost the power of her voice even when sick, she just stayed in insturment and always just perfectly in tune just a beautiful voice!! Sorry I am just amazed by her could really just ramble on :D!!
One pure talented vocalist.. She was Teena Marie favorite singer And Teena Marie is Mary Blige's favorite singer ... For me those three are very very special singers
OMG--that entire song seems to float on one long,silken breath. Just awesome. And listen to the lower range--basso profundo! Staggering. But the final note just floats on forever. This is kick-ass singing!
Festivals 1969 looks pretty crazy exciting time. Thelonious Monk , Sarah Vaughan... That generation that lived through early 70's somehow comes across as the most respectful and sociable people at the least for today's standards.
This is truly the Queen of jazz vocals. And I love her!!! So much heart and soul in her voice. I tear up every time I hear her sing. My mothers boyfriend introduced me to her music when I was 12 years old in 1961. I am a fan forever. Bow down to this Queen! There will never be another sassy Sarah.
@@monicabella7894 I be liking Billie. I have lots of her music as well as Sarah. But, one on one, Sarah is numero uno. There are some who may say Ella was tops or Nancy. To each his/her own opinion. Sarah had a range like no other. Tired of talking about it, going to go listen to my girl SARAH now. May even check out Billie later. Adios.
@@monicabella7894 Don’t you have something to do other than bug me about singers? I stand my ground. SARAH VAUGHN is the undisputed QUEEN!!! Now, bug off lady 😼
WHOEVER POSTED THIS! THANK YOU SO MUCH! This is my favorite SARAH song and I'm in tears at 3:07 and SCREAMED when I saw that there was finally a live version to WATCH and witness of this song outside of the Live at Monterey Jazz Album which I absolutely ADORE.. Thank you.. The Finesse, And careful creativity is SO full of grace, I forgot this is by the Beatles.. This is Sarah's and not Esther Phillips... Lord.. Just... Thank God for this Clip!!!
I've only had one occasion to see Sarah perform in Detroit. Outstanding performance here and the trio is tight as hell. Finally able to purchase this song online and add it to my playlist at #1. So incredible that she holds that last note for damn near 20 seconds. From high to subtle low. No artists alive or gone, can do it like Sarah!
Wow, this performance gives me the chills, can only imagine how watching live would feel. I can see Sir Paul just playing this over and over and being so proud.
Can you imagine being there?! I wouldn’t have been able to contain myself-the way she sings this song gives me in an emotional meltdown. The tears just flood.
She's my all-time favorite vocalist. I saw her perform twice--in Chicago and in Monterrey. Awesome and exquisite here on this song. You are deeply missed, Sarah.
She is so good and that is the best cover I ever heard of a Beatles tune. Besides her vocal qualities she is able to raise the material to a new higher level. Many good singers can not do that. She is one of a kind. Thanks for posting.
This was a wonderful trio for her and she sounded sublime with them. You could tell they were in synch with each other. They knew how to play for her. They left it open for her to just sing. What a great loss for the world when Sarah's voice was stilled. She sings with the angels now. I bet she sings lead!
Deep in our hearts - with that voice and talent! Some aficionado will be listening to this voice in 200 years and will be mesmerized by it! Sassy For eternity!
Pristine Vocals!!! Wow! I've listened to many versions of this song... Of course, I love the Beatles original... But this one? Hands down, my favorite! #divineone
Agree!!! I can't stop listening even though the next song will be Sarah. When she covered a song her version became the standard. Maybe the best instrument of all times! #sassysarah
Stunning live performance reminds me of first time seeing Sarah in concert early seventies at The Troubadour...unforgettable experience and nobody could sing quite like her...Bravo Sarah!!!
She needs a great song that doesn't get in the way -- then it's just how she feels about the song, how she feels in the moment -- and her supernatural musical instrument and genius, with a little help from her friends -- and you free fall into her soul.
Why do people listen to Sarah Vaughan and jump into the comments to argue with those of us who love her? If there was truly another vocalist as good as her, we'd all be really happy but there ain't. Viva La Davina!
I really loved Miss Sarah Vaughn. I only pray that I could sing like her. What a magnificent voice; she had so much range and could really hold a note for a looooonnnnnggggg time too!!! WOW!!
In the mood for Sarah...always! A classic, beautiful and rich voice with a delivery to die for! Her interpretations are always stellar. I love also that the cameraman chose only close up shots, rendering this performance totally intimate. Sophisticated on all fronts!! Thank you for this rare gem!
I give her all my love That's all I do And if you saw my love You'd love her, too I love her She gives me everything And tenderly The kiss my lover brings She brings to me And I love her A love like ours Could never die As long as I Have you near me Bright are the stars that shine Dark is the sky I know this love of mine Will never die And I love her Bright are the stars that shine Dark is the sky I know this love of mine Will never die And I love her
