    I was 19 when I first saw her perform live and followed her ever since. I loved Nancy Wilson yesterday, today, and always! Rest in Heaven queen. You touched endless souls.

    I'll never forget how my heart sank when I heard Nancy had left us in December of 2018, I couldn't believe it! Nancy Wilson and Frank Sinatra had been part of my musical life as long as I could remember. What Nancy could do with a song, in her inimitable style, was nothing short of miraculous! She truly told a story in song when she sang, her own special way, and it morphed into my heart and soul. I don't think any other singer has made me feel my own depths as much as in Nancy's rendition of so many songs. A musician myself, I have great respect for other singers I love to listen to also, but none has touched my soul as deeply as when Nancy sings, it's so special. I'll always miss this lovely, classy lady, but I'm so glad we have her fabulous recordings to keep her in our hearts and minds -- always!

    That was so sweet. They were giving her her flowers that she so richly deserved. I have loved her music since I was a child and my oldest brother played her music in our house. Divine. For decades, imo, she had the most beautiful tone I'd ever heard.

    I have seen and/or met many singers in my younger days one reason having once worked in Hollywood, CA BUT....I never was able to see Nancy Wilson in concert and "IF I COULD" there will be no way I would miss such a treasure. I love and idolize her and I'm sure she knows how many lives she has touched through her gift. God Bless her and Patton College for posting this video.

    I am so very IMPRESSED with my Favorite Jazz Vocalist, MISS NANCY WILSON's performance at this event. Dang! And she was about 74 then!! WOW! I hear that she has retired as of 2012, but I PRAY to God that I will have an opportunity catch her LIVE at an appearance of some sort soon. I became a fan late (as I began singing jazz in 2008 after singing R& B and show tunes for years). She tops my list of all time singers of ANY genre! I LOVE YOU, NANCY!!!! I will FOREVER follow in her footsteps!! God Bless you, my Lady!!

    I really find I miss her. Which is crazy, as we never met. She’s my favorite vocalist and I really find it a tragedy that she didn’t get even more recognition. She deserves to be up there with the Ella’s, Barbra’s, Aretha’s, etc… but I guess she was just so jazzy and way to sophisticated for the masses.

    How wonderful for you that you have a chart to tell you who to like and support the artistry of so you dont have to think on your own (I'm sure its better for the rest of us that you dont). Nancy Wilson is everything a woman wants to be and everything a lady has to be. Nancy Wilson is an artist, artist; Your favorite singer's favorite singer. 60 years of singing over 50 albums, and an instrument completely and uniquely her own, Elvis should be so lucky to even be mention in the same coversation.

    Her body is ageing here. She is seated which would not have been the case at a younger healthier time. At 72, my body has begun to give in too.
    RIP MS Nancy Wilson!

    I have heard many tributes to great artists, but none as eloquent and spot on as Eric Dysons tribute to Nancy Wilson. Watching her she reminds me that Queens are born and not made, that charisma and class, like skin, can never be erased, and how remarkable that her honeyed voice still has that ability to be strong and vulnerable with that unmistakable breathy sob. This might sound strange but I know what I mean when I describe Nancy Wilson as the "Mrs Robinson" of any genre she chooses.

    Although I know your God given song stylings have returned to the angels with your spirit. I am so blessed to have grown up listening to you because of my family's musical tastes. That foundation lead to me to sit solo at an intimate concert you gave in SF.
    I'm blessed you were here. Your gifts have touched so many all over the world and you made us, black people, swell with pride because of the way you lived and your generosity in supporting our struggles for equality.
    May your family and friends find comfort in all that you gave.
    Thank you Ms.Nanacy Wilson

      Totally agree. Lots of greats have lost their voices. Even Tina Turner once said that when she did her last tour before retiring, she was mad because she couldn't hit some of her notes. Lol. I'm mad I never listened to Nancy much growing up. I knew she could sing, but I've just started getting into her. She's truly a gem.

    My uncle Rusty Bryant gave Ms Wilson her start back in the day. She and my mother sang with his orchestra a lot before his career got started. My mother was Barbara McCarroll. He once told the story of Ms Wilson wanting to go with his band to California, but there wasn’t any room in the van with all of the equipment. She was upset. About half way through the trip they kept hearing noises in the back of the van. He pulled over to see what it was and discovered that Nancy had hid behind the drums. So they had to take her with them. The rest is history.

    We saw her at Blues Alley. The most marvelous experience. Jill Scott took many performance cues from this ledgend. She put the mic down at her side and her it still caught her voice strong and proud. No opening act. Just 3 hrs with Nancy an arm's length away. 😊

  • @lydee09
    @lydee09 12 лет назад +3

    Also, the rating system is completely different now then when she started. There are many TRULY talented legends who have never gotten proper recognition. Perfect example is Diana Ross, to date she has never received a Grammy. Lastly, did you know that many of the African American artists that inspired Elvis' sound and style never had #1's either, not due to a lack of talent, but with segregation and all, Elvis was more marketable. Nancy Wilson is a LIVING LEGEND. I'm just saying...

    These people are in good company in gushing over "this woman. Oprah too, honored her at her Legends Ball a few years ago. She is an American Treasure. In my opinion, numbers can be deceiving. Back when she started in 1952, think about the social setting. There was no gender or race equality then. She excelled in a climate that was against her. I question whether many of the "artists" of today have the moxie to face what she did and still sing with dignity and class.
