The shadow of your smile
When you are gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn
Look into my eyes, my eyes, look and see
All the lovely things, you are, to me
Our wistful little star
Was far, too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I love
When I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I'll will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
Our wistful little star
Was far, too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I'll will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I'll be remembering
The shadow of your smile
The shadow of your smile
The shadow of your smile

Here in June 2024. I discovered this rare jewel today. 💎
The Bob James Trio is really the Sarah Vaughan Quartet. She is truly the fourth instrument in that group.
Can I get a Amen!!!!!
He wrote the theme to the show Taxi.
Lawd Ham Mercy!!! Sarah Vaugh - a national treasure!!! It's so sad that so many black American artists had to go to Europe to do their best work. It's wonderful that we have these videos to remember their performances. We'd never see these here in the States otherwise.
I grew up in the era where REAL singers sang REAL songs....and she was at the top of the list. I cannot tell you how many times i sat there in Birdland and fell all to pieces when “SASSY” began her set.....I am so fortunate at 85 years old to remember those wonderful moments of complete master of her talent!!
Las Latty ....sorry..where is Birdland?
Birdland was located in the heart of NYC....if I remember on Broadway........it was the enter of Jazz music on the East Coast with the Blackhawk club being the counterpart on the West Coast in San Francisco. The Village Gate was the other famous club in the village, downtown NYC.
you're the luckiest one. I am 32 years old. and I always wish I would be in 60's
Me to about the same time shorty was door man and we bent elbows at the bar with one of the great trumpet players of the century.
I envy you(I am 82)
Not only she is ridiculously gifted in vocal range but her phrasing and volume control is absolutely impeccable! A true musical genius!
and that vibrato…
When we talk about of singing, lets talk seriously. This a voice
Def one of the greatest
It's not just a voice, it's an intimate and expressive interpretation of a great song. She could bring a song to place very personal. She's entrancing. No one sings like that any more.
She can do whatever she wants and she is very inventive. Let’s talk about range also. And how much control she has way up there at the end and so softly instead of loud. It’s like sculpting or painting. The detail is amazing! And every time it would be different.
Sarah Vaughn and Bob James on piano!!! Wow, I never knew!!
So is Ella’s.
This is a prime example of real music by real musicians.♥️🎶
Her backing band are also brilliant. Imagine being on stage with her and supporting that supernatural vocal. Must've been really something.
Her voice is absolutely perfect. I love this song too.
Sarah at her best. Magnifico
I caught Sarah on a Friday Night in the early 80's at an LA supper club with the Count Basie Orchestra 'Like almost 40 yrs ago & Tonight, Sept 18th 2020 I still recall the awe & goose-flesh of that evening as if it was Last night
I use to go to several jazz super clubs in LA's SFV & periodically famous vocalists would stop by & pick up the mic & sing a few songs & One night Sarah dropped in about 11pm & sang a few songs with the piano trio 'Another indelible jazz dive memory'

@@user-jb2sh9vv1u It's the best ever musical Jazz instument in a " gosier ", Sarah could be sometimes rude in reachtimes, but remember for a while how some "vedettes" NEED TO
Of course, everybodys got the eyes still opened to the OFFICIAL .... Still mister JOHN always be, whatever... evil seems to win: have a good poker game, come on, oK rubbissh so stop, b...
My dad has just passed away and this is his favorite song I play it constantly to help it ease the pain it brings back so many memories from when I was a little girl. I am dreading the funeral as this is his final resting song but for him it's perfect. I will always remember the shadow of your smile pops RIP I love you deeply my heart is shattered. You are finally at peace no more suffering.
My condolences on the passing of your Dad. He obviously had excellent taste in music.
@@BisonAP Aww I just burst into tears 😭 he did have amazing taste and inspired me a great deal to listen to the great jazz classics. I was only listening to this 20 mins ago, also Stan Getz corcavado. Music is not what it use to be . Thank you for your kind words ❤️ Have a blessed day.
❤
Sarah tops even Ella. She's the #1 diva of American popular music. She never had a better accompanist than Frank Collett.
The greatest singer ist Billie Holiday. Sara ist close behind.
This voice TRASCENDS genre!! She is one of the best singers EVER.
In sync with the majority opinion on this amazing performer. She had a haunting voice, yes, as few even very good singers in any genre have, a unique sound quality that cuts or coos, slices or hovers across the musical fabric. But the really breathtaking quality is her unerring pitch across daring intervals, as she invents elegant variations. Simply put, Sarah Vaughn is a musician of genius.
SO ON POINT. are you a musician?
she is too much! " across the musical fabric" as you say. "Invents elegant variations"
@@nazsansoni Over a long long career, Sarah continued to excel in jazz, pop, and American Songbook. An amazing body of work, and always growing in mastery. I particularly like her album of Duke Ellington songs on Pablo with Joe Pass, Oscar Peterson, Louie Belson, and Joe Pass, titled "How Long Has This Been Going On.". I particularly like her playful, often ironic, take on lyrics. But always masterly as to the music, vocalism, and integrity toward the ensemble. Simply said: great. Thanks for your comment Nazreen.
Oh so beautifully stated!
@@clarionstreet I would add that her range is incredible, maybe four octaves. Listen to the opening note, taken from the bowed bass and picked up by Vaughn, a low contralto. Later she soars to incredible heights, sliding so smoothly into the upper alto, landing precisely on an unexpected note that works perfectly. Improvisation? I suspect a good deal. Not a simple song. A virtuoso performance.
I thank the universe for blessing planet earth with the energy of Sarah Vaughan.🙏🏿⚡🌍🌌🌠
She could manipulate every note, word and phrase to show its true full value. But she never was never overbearing, or trying to upstage others.
My old man said she had a vibrato that was the best in the business.
Yes, Sarah can. She's a GREAT singer!
Anyone who said men ain’t supposed to cry never heard Sara
I cry, too. Glad to. I am right now. Thank you for saying this.
The definition of perfect. Sarah's voice and the Bob James Trio provide us a transcending experience.
My great aunt has Ella Fitzgerald and Ms. Vaughan's 78's. She and her fiancé listened to them for hours before he flew off to fight the Nazi... one day he didn't come back, this music and attendant memories keep him close, and her sane. 🙏
Sadly, we now have to fight them in our own country. With the loss of the Greatest Generation, the Americans who gave their lives fighting against fascism and Nazis would be so disappointed with Americans now doubting elections and their government based on one man’s lies and temper tantrums, his bruised ego is turning people on the greatest democracy for no reason, hypnotized by lies and QAnon, have the people become so weak minded to succumb to demagoguery?
Sarah set the standard for Phyllis Hyman, Angela Bofill, Rachelle Farrell and many other great singers from my era.
Your comparisons are spot on. May I add Melba Moore, Macy Gray, Natalie Cole, and Patti Austin to that list.
I had the privilege of knowing her. She was a family friend and a gentle yet resolute person. You’d never know it because only the gentle ever came out.
Rest In Peace my friend.
I HATE YOU!
@@NYCBG LOL...
@@The1951skylark You too!
How, I envy you. Pity I missed her. I take solace from the music, her "self offering" Brava
You're so lucky
Asked what singers she listened to, Sarah once said she didn't listen to singers - she listened to horn and sax players. You can really hear that here
I love when they transition into bossa nova halfway through. And the audience is totally rapt. No shifting, no fidgeting. They’re riveted.
I once asked my Dad who was a huge Jazz fan who was best Ella or Sarah he whispered Ella was wonderful but Sarah was Devine Chris White in Leeds
God is flowing thru them vocal cords. That's what's happening.
Say it again sis!
It's the only explanation really xxx 🤯
Best comment here in my opinion. Thank you
@@ava_alami OKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY? !!!!
The greatest American female singer of all time...
She could control every little detail in her splendorous voice!
The best vocalist that ever lived, Nobody can phuck with this sister's talent. The way her voice magically flys over the lyrics of a song is undeniably unmatched.
Joel Williams .....she had an amazing quality to her voice.
Well put, Btw, her take on Misty is as good as it gets
My father loved her (the best ever) he said..He was 👉
Such artistry. My queen!
I am comparing Marvin's version and Sarah's right now. Incomparable talent for these two. No other female , and Donny Hathaway comes close to Marvin's falsetto. Omg aren't we blessed with these incredible talents? I never tire of extraordinary vocals as these. Never. Bravo Sarah you made this song so enjoyable. Cheers darling
Sarah's voice was loved all over the world. She was one of the best jazz singers of all time !!!!
One of the best singers period. I can’t think of anyone comparable to her.
Sarah, in a word, is awesome. I'm spellbound and enchanted by her handling of this song. Very moving!
Yes enough said....
Panama Black232 one of the best versions I’ve heard!
You can say that again and again....
Panama Black232 t
Yes
Wonderful! It still outshines much of the garbage named music today. Live on Sarah!!
This song was written for her. Her phrasing was one of a kind and what a crystal clear voice she had (has).
Sarah Vaughan always had a way with a song.
The Shadow of your smile by Sarah Vaughan is one ofthe Most Beautiful Songs of All Time.
I am in a trance at how beautiful her voice was. I love this. It plays over and over.
Sarah takes the listener to another realm in a really intoxicating way.I only wish I had seen and heard her live.
did I say it before ? This is the finest female performer of the20th century (there were so many). What she did with the voice is slightly beyond impossible.
Richard Condon She and Ella Fitzgerald
@Voracious Reader Why so angry ? I stick with what I said. bur knowing there are no absolutes I will also say I like your singers too. she is my best. since 1948.
I still feel the way I did. My fave.
No one compares to Sarah. No one has this voice.
Arguably the greatest female jazz singer of the century, and what a fantastic trio behind her. Who plays piano that well today? This was a more fruitful time for music on this planet.
Bob James on the piano... still plays and has so many hits!
Bob James wrote "Angela" the theme from the TV show "Taxi"
Bob James, of course, God Bless my friend...
@@jeffreyfelder7981 sir Bob James, still rocking, was playing with him on fest last summer, dude still play his ass off! Greatest musician, just great! Long live Bob James
All of Ms Vaughan's eras were fire but OMG her mature voice of the 60's the tone, phrasing, timing, everything, was pure magic
My mother told me that when I was a baby (in the early 60s) she and my father loved Ms Vaughan, but as my mom hated cigarette smoke (times were different back then), she never went to the clubs. So sometimes on the way home from work (we lived in Harlem then), she said my father would stop by the jazz club Minton's whenever Ms Vaughan was playing there, have a drink, and call my mom up from a payphone there and let her listen to Ms Vaughan sing. How many nickels he had on him determined how long she could hear Ms Vaughan! 😂😂 My father was the love of my mom's life (his death took him away from her too soon) so she loved telling stories like that about him.
Such a sweet story about your mom & dad’s love.
Thank you for sharing that story. Your father sounds like a good man.
That’s so sweet
No one else had performed this song as marvelous as Sarah!
She was so soulful & true to her craft touching all of us the best
I didn't like the song to I heard her rendition of
GOD---Sarah was so,so BLOODY BRILLIANT & the trio are superb.
Of course this song is pure perfection.
From a mad keen 76yo Aussie fan.
We really need to give it up to the trio too, they're amazing
The Divine One. Still divine. Still the one.
A beautiful voice! A beautiful woman, inside and out! So much love surrounding her!
Sarah always fantastic. I love Bob James accompanyment, some of the best playing i have heard
This woman's performances never fails to amaze. Such vocal mastery.

Sarah was truly musically DIVINE...
Sass was the GREATEST. THIS is SINGING, boys and girls.
Bob James....so young & talented
I find myself crying to this every night 😢 im only 25
ONE of the best singers in the World, unfortunately there is nothing like that anymore.
Sarah was gifted with the greatest musical instrument on Planet Earth....the human
Voice
The greatest interpreter of the American songbook of the 20th century...no one compared to her.
BILLIE HOLIDAY 🌹 RULES !
SARAH VAUGHAN 🌹 is second
@Fred W Billie Holiday couldn't sing? How can somebody comment so incredibly stupid. Lady Day is the greatest singer of all times! Sarah was great and stays always second. Different style, more opera.
@@monicabella7894 Billie's favorite singer was "Frank" nuff said
@@monicabella7894 I agree for Billie, but Ella comes second and Sarah third. True, she is awesome in some tracks, but she sometimes does too much, unlike my dear Billie, who is always sincere !
@@sylvieclement7610 Sarah Vaughan comes straight after Billie Holiday. She is the second greatest female singer and THERE she will stay for all times. Here earliest recordings are outrageous! And those I prefer. Have a check!
Third is Dinah Washington with her great ones. Although other recordings are not my style, too loud.
Then okay, Ella. Yes, very smooth with great technic, but mostly no emotion. Simply boring. She doesn't really touch me. Although she had some great ones, no doubt. Her earlier recordings were better. She's perfect for relaxing.
Shivers-down-the-spine time. 🎵
Smooth as silk!!🙏🏼🎶🎶🎶
This piece is magical, historically majestic, severely underrated, Thanks You for posting!!
Lucky audience, witnessing HISTORY... 👏👏👏👏💜💜💜💜
Wow Sarah could Sarah sing or what? Simply Beautiful!!!
Bulbasaur!
I caught Sarah in early 80's at an LA Supper Club W/ The Count Basie Orchestra & had goose-flesh on Cloud 9 for entire Gig 'An Indelible Evening'......
Not only this version and her voice are supreme, she looks lovely!
Diosa Negra... y el mundo a tus pies!
A voice that will never be duplicated....
The world has never been the same since the Divine Sarah left us... taking her once in a millennia voice with her.
She was such a pioneering force...what a brilliant and gifted woman
Sarah Vaughan is an American Treasure anyone here in March 2020
I think that when she hangs on that 9 at the end, it gives me chills!
I smiled through the entire video! I've loved this woman since I was a little boy! And I'm only 36... Music is my life!
I wanna like 400 more times!
I’ll say one thing about Sarah; she never ceased to amaze me as a singer!
Hard to imagine anyone else complimenting her majestic voice!
Only memories of real music!! Classic!
OMG. I'm melting. How beautiful.
Sarah with Bob James on keyboards. Magnificent
This video should be in RUclips Music. It is an exquisite and classic performance that is a national treasure.
Such a beautiful song my Mother sang this in Her own beautiful style as I was growing up (in 1960"s), lots of people compared Her to Ms.Vaughan, in which it was not a stretch,( Mother did sing professionally on the local circuit New England area) with the likes of Eddie Stack Trio & The Skyliners Band, this version is dedicated to Mother Dottie-peace/love.
Magnificent!!
The best rendition of this beautiful song.
Pure class! 😃😍🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Had I been in that audience, I would have emotionally lost it. I can barely contain myself each time I hear this divine musical gift. 🥰
Not only can you see her smile, but you can hear it too. Beautiful performance ❤️
'Look into my eyes my love and see'...now that was sensual phrasing at the highest level and in my humble opinion, just pure genius!
H...O...L..Y...S...H...I.. T....
I'm over here in tears. Her voice is... well for lack of more intelligent words Fucking astounding!!
Never tire of listening to her. My favorite of all time. Her voice is another instrument in itself. Well done Sarah.
The seemingly effortless control over her voice is noting short of remarkable. This is how you interpret a song. She has the power to overwhelm this song (a strategy used by most of today's chanteuses to terrible effect) but instead she choses to let her voice accentuate the power and emotion of the music and lyrics! A true singer indeed. And the Trio! They are magnificent. They all work together seamlessly to wonderful effect.
Truly a God given voice which captures the heart.
There never was or will have what this woman did in her lifetime! Bless you girl--
The ending note! Wow!
No body can match this passion in this golden song like Sara . Beyond jazz , beyond fulfillment there is something which is shining and lingering, which leaves this taste of an aged wine and something bigger than life. That is Sara interpretation to the song
She was special ...I like Billy,and Ella F,than Dinah Washington..but Sarah was one the kind who pull you in different world,only with her voice..
Don't forget Carmen McRae, just beautiful.
The beauty of her voice immeasurable on a beautiful song enhanced with the Bob James Trio. A classic and winning combination.♥️♥️🎶🎶♥️♥️
Oh this is superb...what a beautiful voice...and the band so tight and elegantly in sync, with this rare treasure..the voice of Sarah Vaughan ❤🎤🎶
She was my mother's favorite. I grew up listening to her lovely unique voice
I ❤ you Sarah Lois Vaughan 🎉🎉🎉
WOW!! Sarah Vaughn and Bob James!! I just turned 63 years old, and I feel like I'm just now learning what real music and talent is. I'm so envious of those of you that were old enough to appreciate this music back then.
When you listen to this song by Sarah it proves that she was the very greatest of our time!
I have heard and watched them all-nobody could touch her.
My YT feed is my dealer..and it’s the gooood stuff. What a voice..what elegant tugging of my heart strings
The audience realized only the greatness of Sarah's craft and soul. This era was when America did not really recognize black talent so the our artists went overseas where they were welcomed with warmth and respect.
You hear here one of the finest deliveries of one of the the finest songs from mid 20th century. There were many then so that's quite a statement.
I defy ANYONE from today to do this. Live. The shape and texture she gets on those notes is extraordinary
Even when she speaks her voice is like velvet!!
That last note gave me chills
