Sy Smith's voice is brilliant, sensational, and breathtaking. No one can compare with her interpretation for this song "The look of Love", especially at the very beginning. I heard it on PBS in 2011. In 2024, I am still overwhelmed by it.
Me and my brother took our mother to see Chris Botti and Sy Smith at The Mohegan Sun many years ago. Both were cordial after the show was over and they had a meet and greet. I have to find the photos of my mom with Chris Botti and Sy Smith. I was raised to appreciate good music and both put on a really great show.

This music transports me to another place, another time. I lose myself listening to it. Priceless. Amazing Chris Botti and Sy Smith. Not forgetting the Soulful Drummer who nailed it. 🧡 Holy Moses💘 Greetings from Singapore 🙏
Oh my.....what a beautiful song....they turned this classic into a sexy, jazzy and upbeat tune. Love it. Sy is SO GORGEOUS. Love the drummer, guitarist too......pure talent. I saw them in concert twice and it's even better live........
Yep! The guitarist is her cousin, Jazz Guitarist Mark Whitfield. I got put on her cuz of the last CD he just did with his sons. She’s on there and I could have swore it was Deniece Williams! I tracked her down and bought her CDS. Saw her stream a concert from the Blues Alley in DC back in August. SEE THIS WOMAN
One of the most beautiful and classy execution of this unforgettable song, in my opinion. Awesome Mrs. Smith, she has a voice like a "pure liquid gold"! Fantastic!
Her look, the song, her voice, the style, the band.... This catapulted me back to my beloved 70's and did it in a way that was smooth and sexy! Billy, you make playing the drums look like it's super fun and sound like Buddy Rich! Killing it man!
That sweetness in her voice just melts all your troubles away. Smooth, relaxing and upbeat. She really brings out the band's many flavors and colorful notes. This is a gem in a timeless era of the 70s to the 80s
I saw Chris Botti at Deer Valley a few years ago and it was truly one of the best Concerts I've ever been to, and I've been to hundreds of concerts. Consummate musicians, all of them. And Chris is beyond outstanding! So is this gal singing.
I have always enjoyed watching and hearing this drummer! He puts everything into his playing. Not only is his timing impeccable, but he's so rhythmic with his movements. You really FEEL the music!
So beautifully done!!! I love Chris, and this beautiful young lady reminds me so much of a singer back in the day a very sweet voiced lady by the name of Syreeta Wright ,she was the wife of our wonderful Musical genius Stevie Wonder. 🙏🏼💕
Steven Carter, yes indeed. Another "sweet" song from the incomparable Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Their catalog of songs is unsurpassed and not just because of the quantity, but the quality and vast diversity of them as well. I enjoyed them as a teenager when they first came out and I enjoy them still.
philip cho I too love the entire BB collection and again on his “One Amazing Night” Special you can see how BB enjoys hearing new interpretations of his music. There’s a real confidence in knowing his legacy is secure and appreciation of how others perform your music.
She has a BILLION DOLLAR VOICE!!! I hope she gets promoted very soon. I could listen to her voice for hours !!!! WOW !! The way she blends her voice and the trumpet player at 5:11 is BRILLIANT !!!!!!
Love this Music- Screaming with Talent all round, the Drummer is Awesome, Same as the Guitarist her cousin, Pianist and Chris Boti - Fabulous Musicians....Thank You
Very nice arrangement, excellent singing, Mark the guitar magician, modest Chris a gentleman with the perfect pitch and musical sense... and the great Billy Kilson on drums!
YES! Deadly rhythm section all the way around. Bass and drum and guitar locked in the zone. Exceptional. And the singer and Botti, well, this is one of the best versions of this great tune I've ever heard.
I love this version of this song. Sy is magical. Chris is a true talent. The arrangement is awesome. But the drummer is a gift to my eyes! Lol! My kiddos and I love his animation and intensity! L
On peut l'écouter 100 fois. Toujours une découverte. Ça monte dans les tours Quelle sensation Quel plaisir Et quel frissons Tu rentre dedans. (Complètement)
@@sciocezze68 Sy Smith ... love her , check her out on a collaboration with Pete "Coke" and Peter David Escovedo singing " Let's Stay Together"... even more fabulous!!
One of the best performances; Sy's voice just melted all over this song, but for the life of me I don't understand why it wasn't included on the album? I keep this video on repeat! 🔥🔥🔥😍😍
Amazing performance by all. Sy has Minnie Ripperton vibes, Mark Whitfield is on fire 🔥 and Chris Botti is the consumate professional never overshadowing Sy just enjoying the conversation or interplay. The band is fabulous with the orchestra. Wow 👏
I watch this often! So much energy! I never thought any group could do a better rendition on this song than Dusty Springfield! Truly a standing ovation! Sly Smith and Chris Botti Thank you, and the great Band!
Chris Botti is such a classy dude and it's quite apparent that he is smitten with Sy... How sweet and lovely to see people enjoying one another as well as entertaining others. By the way, I was quite fortunate to see Chris twice in Cleveland Ohio; Once downtown and the other in a park. He was flawless in each performance. Bravo blue eye soul brother Botti. Hope to see you soon and very soon back in Cleveland, Ohio!
This is a master class of epic proportions. Ms Smith is a delight and so musical, Botti as smooth as oil and the playing of Billy Kilson fabulous. The rest of the players fully deserve their places on the stage. wow
What pure talent!!! Chris is the consummate musician. And Sy Smith is an absolutely stunning singer--range, tone, assurance, passion, she has it all. Oh, yeah, and the drummer isn't bad either!
Holy Schmoley...there are thousands of versions of LOL...this is the best..love how minimal Chris is in his rendition of the fabulous melody..the rhythm section is sensational
Really impressing performance, first class musicians and amazing voice. Thanx Burt Bacharach for your musical legacy... You are the best "wellbeign music" composer, a genius who touched our souls with your magical chords and melodies.

As a baby boomer turned seasoned citizen whats not to love? This is classic and timeless music. The ensemble is to live for.
Thanks for your support and your comments on my profile page you are always welcome 💕💕💕
Let's not forget to mention the bassist in this outstanding collaboration of musicians. Sy is a fabulous singer.
Chris Botty, a person who knows when to perform and doesn't show off himself ... great collaboration
Isn't she lovely? Isn't she beautiful? Isn't she musically talented? What an awesome performance!
Yeah... I'd love to hear her with Stevie Wonder.

@@GhostTrain615 That was a true treat for your mom.
@@kipperlane8959 Unfortunately and out of nowhere, I was dealt a severe blow when my mom passed away last April 23rd.
Sy Smith vocals along w/the guitarist & Drummer while I laid my head back & Closed my eyes just sent my mind Dancing all the way to venus.
I heard this song so many times recorded by so many artists. Doesn't matter who sings or records it, this song will live forever just like love...
I couldn't agree more, and Dusty Springfield's original 1967 recording (from "Casino Royale"), will live forever, too.
@@roried Yup, the only thing I liked about that movie.
We all have to thank Burt Bacharach for the music, the man is a musical genius & legend. Thank you Burt.

I recommend you to listen to the Dusty Springfield/Bacharach original (and best).
It was always jazzy and sexy….Burt provided a soundtrack for adults in the 1970s….nice version.
Multiple even sounds and but kicking music and musicians...God bless them.
One of the most beautiful and classy execution of this unforgettable song, in my opinion. Awesome Mrs. Smith, she has a voice like a "pure liquid gold"! Fantastic!
