YES AND..... Raw talent, and decades and decades of work, practice, building skills, technique, learning and more learning. Music is lots of work, layers and layers and more layers, of work.. Bach: "I have achieved what success I have achieved by much hard work. Others wanting the same success only need to do the work." (translated from the German) Mozart studied with his Dad, who was a great teacher of music and violin (He wrote books on them), starting at age 3. His ambitious Dad toured Wolfgang and his sister, as prodigies, from early childhood. Promoted them like crazy, Little Mozart performed, composed, practiced, violin, piano and composition all this time. By the time he was in his late teens his music was very very good. He only had til 35, that's when he left us. But take these stories of genius and "heaven-sent," God-given talent too seriously. People are mostly the same. Work at something a long time and you will do it well. Pepper, sorry to throw all this wisdom at you, it's meant for all of us. So, thanks for your indulgence. Enjoy! Yes, raw talent, and lots of practice and work.
Her magnificent range continued to extend itself in both registers. Her deep resonant low notes made some male baritones dumbfounded with astonishment. Her ability to utilize the magical properties of her instrument were unparrelled. She was a brilliant musician. A pianist, arranger, drummer and guitarist who was blessed the greatest voice of any singer who ever lived. There will never be another like her. She was the greatest of all time who did things no other singer could ever hope to do.
So wonderfully put ___ so true___ when ever I talk to other enthusiasts and proclaim her greatness as you have I simply point to IF YOU COULD SEE ME NOW as proof . Her music is so special. I recall a documentary where Mr B state that we as vocalist fans all have our favorites. B then said she was mine. __ he then said if there was any better I'd like to know who. Like Mr B I'd like to know who.
A fine piano player with perfect comic timing. That's surely enough talent for a normal person to have. Then she has to go and start singing...........
They were all professionals, respecting each other's talent, each tested by the great jazz standards they sang and which jazz instrumentalists played. (Billie in her autobiography had a few negative things to say about Sass, which could have been a reflection more on Billie's failing health than on Sarah's towering talent.)
Sarah Vaughan, had a voice that could only be imitated, but never duplicated . Her Rich silky sultry buttery tone was her, and hers alone. My Mom and Grandma were very jazzy ladies. So I grew Up listening to these women who lead the way for our JAZZ to continue on until this day, music of today is questionable to say the least. And there's no comparison to the music of yesteryear. Thank you so much for sharing this with me this beautiful lady once more.🙋
I had the good fortune to see Sarah in concert not long before she passed. It was wonderful. She was funny and down to earth but when she sang I was mesmerized. I’ve seen Ella a few times also. These two will never be replaced. They were the epitome of jazz singers.
There was only ONE Sarah Vaughn, they called her Sassy. Her vocal ability was so smooth and clear. I still play her songs to this very day. She was in a Class by herself.
Exactly. Guess that commenter got carried away? Lol. 😊 To a non-musician, perhaps it does sound like “5 octaves.?” 😉 But no human being really ever had that many, let’s face it! Ms. Sarah V., Divine Sassy one, Ultra-Relaxed, joyful Showman ( Lady) extraordinaire: : your 3 octaves sure worked enough magic for 9 octaves! 🙏🏼 💜 ♥️
Playful, wonderful, funny, gifted Sarah. I honestly think I would have fainted had I ever been to one of her performances like this. She continues to take my breath away.
Wow!!! I had no idea she could play the piano, or had such a great sense of humor. This is so cool. And her voice is like a dimly lit room filled with wafting cigarette smoke and the effervescence of fine cologne and oaky cask filled scotch. No one could deliver a song like sassy Sarah, she was the best. She is loved and missed. Peace and love.🎶🎶🎶
I always knew of the sense of humor. She came to Montreal late 70s and open with a old classic of hers. After the applause, she said she sang that oldie to feel out the age of the audience 😂.
Like Rosemary Clooney, Sassy's voice grew richer, deeper, and even more mellow as she grew older. More power to them...and more joyful listening to us. Sass went from a violin to cello, bless her heart.
Dee Dee still sounds amazing at 66!! Rosemary lost a much of the lustre along with the range though her phrasing, like Maxine Sullivan, remained powerful.
My dad LOVED Sarah Vaughan. As a kid growing up near her hometown of Newark, NJ...her music was a constant in our home. Miss you dad and miss you Sarah Vaughan....
I had the pleasure of opening for Ms. Vaughn when she visited Hawaii several years ago! Talk about nervous!! I was awestruck! We met in the Ladies Room, and she paid me the biggest compliment I've ever received! She was, and remains, one of a kind!
I am fortunate to have attended two of Sarah's live performances in the mid-'80's, one in a large auditorium and the other in an intimate jazz club. As sublime as recordings of Sarah's singing are, they really do not capture the full grandeur, power, and beauty of her live performances. Yet I am very grateful that we have these reminders of her transcendent talent. I also want to say a word about the comments going back and forth about which jazz singer is the best, as if these goddesses of jazz were lowly participants in some inane singing competition. As for me, my world would be poorer if there had been no Sarah or Ella or Billie or Carmen or Anita or Dinah or ... and the list goes on and on. They have all contributed to the art of jazz singing and enriched the world by doing so. Let's hear it for the Ladies of Jazz - Thank You.
Wow! I can remember from a very young child, hearing Sarah Vaughan's voice ebbing, flowing, and wafting through our home. One of my father's favorite artists. Just beautiful seeing her live.
Amazingly gifted. Her ability tk transfer and interpret the song touches the emotions and thrill the soul. Once in a while an artist comes along that you can forego sleep and listen to with amazing satisfaction. God is good.
I was an usher in a theater (when theaters still had users in tuxes) when I was 19. One of the movies I saw a couple hundred time was Cactus Flower. Walter Matthau, Ingrid Bergman, and Goldie Hawn. To me, Sarah Vaughan was the ancker sound that identified the movie. Never having heard good jaz before, I was sucked in. After that she was the sound I measured all other Jazz, of the times, by. Her voice still sticks in my head and brings back a plethora of memories. That's what good entertainers do. They live forever.
Ms. Sarah Vaughan was a Diamond in the Rough. So musical. So talented. So very lovely a Woman and a Person as any two. God bless this dear Lady of Jazz, Soul and Blues. Amen.
I actually saw Sarah Vaughan in concert; in my hometown of Cincinnati. She was there as part of a jazz festival. I had always loved an album of hers in my parent's record collection, which is what got me to purchase tickets for her show. She was extraordinary - unbelievable really; so intimate, lush and wonderful. And even though I have seen some other great stars over the years, that evening will be remembered most fondly.
This is fantastic! Such personality and Stage presence! Not just coming on, sing the songs, and clear off, like it's a job!.. I love her.. music, Well, Jazz is my oxygen..♥♥♥🎶🎶
My namesake=) When she was in Bermuda my dad played bass in the band she sang with at the princess, i believe (don't quote me on that, id need to double check the location with my dad but I'm almost sure anyway) and my dad got to know her during that time and was just so enamored with her that soon after when i came along, he named me after her as a tribute to her. He says she was just so lovely and funny and amazingly talented and so much more. I'm proud to be named after her♥️
Sarah Lewis That's some history in your family. Do you have footage and did you meet her before she passed? I don't know anyone that can sing like her.
All of you have such good taste and much class for being able to appreciate a classic, talented and beautiful voiced Ms. Vaughn. What a classic relic God made.
She moves,she groves and always has. I first heard her in 1957 and with the numerous other talent out there her voice rode the Crest of excellence.one love sarah
Sarah Vaughan was awesomely magnificent, she was pure talent, a gift to the world. I hope all tuned into her beauty in song, she and Aretha Franklin tops in vocals and main stream in truth in wonderful vocals with soul and display to touch all in the most soulful way.
Sunday morning gratitude...Thanks to my big sister, ilene who wouldn't stop playing Broken Hearted Melody...I fell in love with Sarah Vaughn...Ilene and I went to hear "The Divine One" in concert, and then I saw her every time I could after that, even her very last performance in NY....I miss both of them. Each stretched me with their unique perfection.
Thank you so much.Sarah was amazing.It's so much fun watching her have her fun with the audience.When I hear sing it's pure magic.I get nostalgic.I long to hear the great vocal artists of yesteryear.I have not heard a voice that could come close to Sassy.
Heard her live in Sydney about 1973, with an all star band, about 7 pieces, of whom she was very proud. She introduced them formally and very nicely, one by one, in her demure, little-girlish voice, almost a whisper. Finally, she said, "And for those of you who don't know who I am...". I was so disappointed, to think I was going to hear mock humilty from this great musician, who has been a musical backdrop to my long life. "For those of you who don't know who I am..." and here she let rip in fruity Southern tones, "Ah'm Doris Day." It was the cue for the drummer to launch into an exhilarating concert which I have never forgotten.
Thank you for this channel. It is pure gold. The last song I have been listening to was Misty ,when she was very young. I am not of this era, but my parents were, and my love of music is from as early as I remember..Thank God! Sarah had a very long career obviously, her brilliance lasted the test of time...That talent still does in 2020...The greats. I just wish the current African American's and any others who have Jazz in their veins now days, would sing Jazz like it was in these times. It;s iconic and like a historic building..It needs to be restored and valued for the rest of time. Wonderful!!
This is Sassy Vaughan at her best in her element-----a jazzy environment in front of a live audience, there's no better way to capture her raw talent. Sarah took the art of jazz improvisation and did it better than ANYONE. Hearing her sing live was equivalent to watch a person on a tightrope over a canyon, it was a THRILLING experience for anyone to witness her singing live. I've had the pleasure to hear countless accolades from those who were lucky enough to be in her audience. Only wish I'd been born 30 years earlier. Luckily her artistry lives on.
I’ve always loved Sarah most. More than Ella more than Carmen. More than even Flora. Almost more than Shirley Horn! At one San Francisco concert, I reached out in the front row for her hand during a standing ovation, and was lucky enough to have her take mine. I told her, “we love 💕 you Sarah,“ and she said, “ bless you, sweetheart “ and my year was complete. When she died, years later, I felt as if my sister had died. I was crushed and could hardly breathe all week.
OMG when you said "almost as much as Shirley" I nearly cried! Shirley Horn is my all time favorite. Her Here's To Life" album belongs in the Smithsonian 😊
It's so great that so many people love her and her talent. Like Mr B said everyone has their favorites _____ if there was and is any better I'd like to know who
Sarah Vaughan born 1924 would be 100 this year in 2024
If only . . . .
I sang at Sarah Vaughan's funeral when she passed. I was a student at Arts High school, on 14 years old, and Ms Vaughan put in her will, that she wanted an alumni from her former school to sing at her funeral. And so, they picked me
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
BRAVO BRAVO B RAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Que genero de música es esto?
What a wonderful opportunity to lay to rest one of THE greats ❤️
Wowwwwwwwww!!! What an honor tikkunsoulam!!!!!
Talent like this comes once in a lifetime! No autotune, no computer gimmicks, gymnastics etc., Just REAL RAW TALENT!!
So true!
❤
the real women playing and singing with no artifice
👍🙂As it used to be! *And should STILL be.🤔🥴😣‼️
YES AND..... Raw talent, and decades and decades of work, practice, building skills, technique, learning and more learning. Music is lots of work, layers and layers and more layers, of work.. Bach: "I have achieved what success I have achieved by much hard work. Others wanting the same success only need to do the work." (translated from the German)
Mozart studied with his Dad, who was a great teacher of music and violin (He wrote books on them), starting at age 3. His ambitious Dad toured Wolfgang and his sister, as prodigies, from early childhood. Promoted them like crazy, Little Mozart performed, composed, practiced, violin, piano and composition all this time.
By the time he was in his late teens his music was very very good. He only had til 35, that's when he left us. But take these stories of genius and "heaven-sent," God-given talent too seriously.
People are mostly the same. Work at something a long time and you will do it well.
Pepper, sorry to throw all this wisdom at you, it's meant for all of us. So, thanks for your indulgence.
Enjoy!
Yes, raw talent, and lots of practice and work.
Who is still enjoying Sarah in 2022? One of my favorite performers
2024 - watching over here in the Philippines. She was so great!

I do forever...!~❤From Germany 🇩🇪
My mother used to sing her songs while doing chores in the house. Every time I hear her voice I think of my late mother.
Mine too. Mangling chords and lyrics all the way but loving it!
Stunning and so so funny. Unparalleled vocal control. Sarah is absolutely flawless in my book
Her magnificent range continued to extend itself in both registers. Her deep resonant low notes made some male baritones dumbfounded with astonishment. Her ability to utilize the magical properties of her instrument were unparrelled. She was a brilliant musician. A pianist, arranger, drummer and guitarist who was blessed the greatest voice of any singer who ever lived. There will never be another like her. She was the greatest of all time who did things no other singer could ever hope to do.

Yes! The low notes she got, amazing to hear that. So great.... beautiful musician. Many thanks, Pepper and Sarah, and Erroll, who wrote the song....
Aretha had a far greater voice, more agility, range and beauty of sound.
@@markdrinkwater1508, no way.
@@trevorwarner6081 Yes way - Franklin, Houston etc made Vaughan look very average in terms of range, tone and agility.
A fine piano player with perfect comic timing. That's surely enough talent for a normal person to have. Then she has to go and start singing...........
Good one! Ha!

Victor Borge taught her that intro
Loved her duets with the one & only Billy Ekstine. Tickling the ivories as only she can.
"True alchemists do not change lead into gold, they change the world into words”.Her vocal dexterity and charisma were pure magic!!!
Que genero de música es esto?
Wow. Her range is off the charts
At least a 3 octave range.
She has no real high note.
Monica Michelle Absolutely!!!!
@@markdrinkwater1508
you have no semblance of brain activity, schmuck.
@@brainsareus She's an alto at very best, she possesses no high notes, at least I've never heard her sing one.
Greatest female vocalist of ALL TIMES. Period

@@crackquezada564, Jazz.
I could only think of lady Ella to even come close. I loved many others and I am not of the expertise to say. This lady was among the very best.
@@hackbritton3233 ella had a beautiful voice but she can't glide in and out of octaves like my baby Sarah ❤
A triple threat on instrument, voice and comic improv... There will never be another like her
Sarah was one of the most talented persons on this planet. Her improvisation was always exquisite. She has been very inspirational to me.
This is the Sassy I knew! She was a friend of my moms-who was a vocalist also! There was a great supporting community with the jazz performers then!!
+jessandjazz7 Lucky you!
👏👏👏👏
jessandjazz7 - when was then ?????
They were all professionals, respecting each other's talent, each tested by the great jazz standards they sang and which jazz instrumentalists played. (Billie in her autobiography had a few negative things to say about Sass, which could have been a reflection more on Billie's failing health than on Sarah's towering talent.)
Incredible woman and so talented. Loved her!
Sorry, only one mold ever made. We miss you Sarah.
So Beautiful and so very Beautiful.. WOMAN, song, soul and laughter..
then that mold was destroyed! just in case somebody else had notion to make another sarah vaugh.
She gave musical birth to Anita Baker

Ultimate Professional! Didn't know she played piano, but that VOICE was indeed HEAVENLY!!!
She played piano often. For some reason my brain can't remember her name, so I remember her as the lady at the piano. Such a great singer!
There was only ONE Sarah Vaughn, they called her Sassy. Her vocal ability was so smooth and clear. I still play her songs to this very day. She was in a Class by herself.
Sarah has five octaves of singing. She has a voice like no other. And her voice is very clear and on key in every song.
Sarah Vaughan had a wonderful voice but she never had a 5 octave range. More like 2.5 to 3 octaves in her prime.
Exactly. Guess that commenter got carried away? Lol. 😊 To a non-musician, perhaps it does sound like “5 octaves.?” 😉 But no human being really ever had that many, let’s face it!
Ms. Sarah V., Divine Sassy one, Ultra-Relaxed, joyful Showman ( Lady) extraordinaire: : your 3 octaves sure worked enough magic for 9 octaves! 🙏🏼 💜 ♥️

What perfect words to describe how her voice feels to the soul of listeners. Are you a writer? You should be. Thank you.
Your words were perfectly put together. It took me to a place.
Yes Sarah Vaughn is one of the "Greats". With her sultry, jazzy distinct voice! She will always be remembered.❤💯😊🙏
she is so pretty especially in that lovely green dress
She soooo beautiful and that beautiful skin!!! Like butter!!!
Simply gorgeous //
Wow, best thing ive ever heard and seen
That gown really accentuates her complexion
She was indeed
So absolutely gorgeous x
Like Rosemary Clooney, Sassy's voice grew richer, deeper, and even more mellow as she grew older. More power to them...and more joyful listening to us. Sass went from a violin to cello, bless her heart.
Ｓarah, great singer
Saying she went from a viola to a cello is probably a more fitting comparison, but both make a beautiful sound, and she always sang beautifully.
Dee Dee still sounds amazing at 66!!
Rosemary lost a much of the lustre along with the range though her phrasing, like Maxine Sullivan, remained powerful.
Her range and vibrato... simply supernatural. I miss u, Sarah
Marcelo Visconti Me too, Marcelo..
Iam so blessed to have been born in an Era that I could appreciate her music .75yrs old still here and so is Sarah ❤
I saw Sarah perform at London's Royal Festival Hall in the 1950s. Her rich voice still remains in my memory. She enthralled the British audience.
I have a feeling that God was just showing off when Sarah was created.
Sassy was the Devine One
Amen!

What a genius girl. This made me cry
PURE TRUTHFULLY JAZZY SINGER... WITTY SARAH VAUGHN,,,
WE MISS YOU SO MUCH BUT YOU HAVE LEFT YOUR LEGENDARY MUSIC FOREVER
❤❤❤❤💖💖💖💖💖💖
I’ve been listening to her magnificent voice before I was born. My mom loved her.
My dad LOVED Sarah Vaughan. As a kid growing up near her hometown of Newark, NJ...her music was a constant in our home. Miss you dad and miss you Sarah Vaughan....
I was FORTUNATE enough to be in the FRONT ROW when this great woman performed at The University of Kansas in the early 80's....fantastic show!!!
I had never seen Ms. Vaughan perform before this. I cried the whole time. What a talent!
She got them enthralled and bewitched so much they forgot to applaud her. Enthralling and enticing performance.
YES, lord! Flawless tone, incredible finesse, impeccable placement, and superb timing. WOW
AWESOME SARAH! WORDS CANNOT DO IT, SHE KILLED ME!
I had the pleasure of opening for Ms. Vaughn when she visited Hawaii several years ago! Talk about nervous!! I was awestruck! We met in the Ladies Room, and she paid me the biggest compliment I've ever received! She was, and remains, one of a kind!
Incomparable! Nobody sings like that any more. Nobody is that talented and skilled.
Never fail to get shivers when that voice is heard. Nobody else comes close in that respect.
Wow! She was Amazing! I am 61 years of age now, but my mother loved her in the sixties. Sarah was awesome!
I am fortunate to have attended two of Sarah's live performances in the mid-'80's, one in a large auditorium and the other in an intimate jazz club.

Ms. Sarah Vaughan was a Diamond in the Rough. So musical. So talented. So very lovely a Woman and a Person as any two. God bless this dear Lady of Jazz, Soul and Blues. Amen.
in the rough you say? She was cut and polished, and shone like no other!

Which album?
You are blessed
Extremely talented, funny and BEAUTIFUL. What a voice and a AMAZING Personality 👍🏾💖😊
Well said. She was one of a kind and no mistake. We are blessed.
Such a pure sound. A true classic that never gets old.
So blessed to have had the opportunity to see and hear her live. A true treasure ❤️
Even when she is just fooling around, she is a great diva!
I can only say, Epitome of talent. R.I.P.
This is fantastic! Such personality and Stage presence! Not just coming on, sing the songs, and clear off, like it's a job!.. I love her.. music, Well, Jazz is my oxygen..♥♥♥🎶🎶
My namesake=)
When she was in Bermuda my dad played bass in the band she sang with at the princess, i believe (don't quote me on that, id need to double check the location with my dad but I'm almost sure anyway) and my dad got to know her during that time and was just so enamored with her that soon after when i came along, he named me after her as a tribute to her. He says she was just so lovely and funny and amazingly talented and so much more. I'm proud to be named after her♥️
Sarah Lewis Wow, nice sentiment :) you inherited her good looks it seems too🌹BTW-Quincy Jones’ favorite singer..🎶
That's an awesome story. Are you a musician too?
After seeing this video I wish my name was Sarah
Sarah Lewis cool story😎
Sarah Lewis That's some history in your family. Do you have footage and did you meet her before she passed? I don't know anyone that can sing like her.
I never knew she could play! Another reason why I love this lady !
All of you have such good taste and much class for being able to appreciate a classic, talented and beautiful voiced Ms. Vaughn. What a classic relic God made.
Oh My God! She's so beautiful!
This is why we still have jazz. Sarah Vaughan actually scats like an instrument, something today one would imagine is categorical, but is rarely seen.
I love this lady and her style of singing.
This is simply rich entertainment that delivers on so many many levels. I could listen this for hours.
so one if the greatest voices can play the piano as well and very well and blessed with a great sense of humor. so many gifts bestowed on one person

One of my favorite singers of all time. She can gather you in with her lovely tones.

-- Hopefully, a few will seek this WOW!

I never got to actually see Sarah in concert. She's fun! Not to mention talented!
Thank you so much.Sarah was amazing.It's so much fun watching her have her fun with the audience.When I hear sing it's pure magic.I get nostalgic.I long to hear the great vocal artists of yesteryear.I have not heard a voice that could come close to Sassy.
Once in a while, a shooting star lights up the night sky.
Well said, Frank.
One of my main inspirations, love you Sarah ♥️
I'll always remember you this way, thank you Sarah and thank you for the post.

It;s iconic and like a historic building..It needs to be restored and valued for the rest of time. Wonderful!!
One of my all-time favorites Sarah Vaughan I loved her when I was a kid
This bought me to tears. And I’m not ashamed. ❤️❤️❤️
Me too❤
Simply magnificent!!!!🎼🎵🎶🎤😍
Wow! Fabulous talent. She was one of a kind and in a class by herself.
HOLY-SMOKE what an amazing performance. ❤❤❤
The divine one for a reason😁
This is Sassy Vaughan at her best in her element-----a jazzy environment in front of a live audience, there's no better way to capture her raw talent.
Sarah took the art of jazz improvisation and did it better than ANYONE.
Hearing her sing live was equivalent to watch a person on a tightrope over a canyon, it was a THRILLING experience for anyone to witness her singing live.
I've had the pleasure to hear countless accolades from those who were lucky enough to be in her audience.
Only wish I'd been born 30 years earlier.
Luckily her artistry lives on.
Fantasic. What a talent she was. And oh so funny. Thanks for the post. This definitely is worth keeping
Oh my my...this is so wonderful. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Too cute!!! She did that. She said the song will be over when you start clapping...I guess I will keep singing until you clap.
I’ve always loved Sarah most. More than Ella more than Carmen. More than even Flora. Almost more than Shirley Horn! At one San Francisco concert, I reached out in the front row for her hand during a standing ovation, and was lucky enough to have her take mine. I told her, “we love 💕 you Sarah,“ and she said, “ bless you, sweetheart “ and my year was complete. When she died, years later, I felt as if my sister had died. I was crushed and could hardly breathe all week.
OMG when you said "almost as much as Shirley" I nearly cried! Shirley Horn is my all time favorite. Her Here's To Life" album belongs in the Smithsonian 😊
Such a lovely story. A moment to treasure for a lifetime.
It's so great that so many people love her and her talent. Like Mr B said everyone has their favorites _____ if there was and is any better I'd like to know who
Everybody can´t help loving this marvelous artist !!!!
One great advantage of growing old is that we have lived through the best.
Little did we know what was to come!
What a hip and artistic gathering this is....up and including the sketch artist in the audience creating her portrait
And how can we forget those first few chords of a Rachmaninov prelude she played as an engagement of wit and jocularity 😜
Blessed with what was clearly a gift from the heavens!
What's a gift from the heavens?

This was just Awesome ❤ thanks for these memories ❤❤❤ John Barnett ❤
