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.
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 !!!!!!

Including all the deserved accolades for Chris, Sy, Billy, bass and strings I can never get sick of this tight, slick and funky version of a Bacharach masterpiece...timeless!
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
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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
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!
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!
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. 🙏🏼💕
Everyone is talking about her beautiful voice everything about that woman is beautiful that afro her hair the perfect earring and that smile, man that a great start for my kind of woman...
Horrid, the ‘stylings’ of the singer completely overwhelmed the sweet soulful lyrics and the orchestration obliterated the mood of the original score. This recording should be banned for hurting my heart not just my ears.
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! 🔥🔥🔥😍😍
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)
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!
I first saw her in Charlotte and she was a delightful addition to an already great show. Can't wait to see them again in Peachtree City, Ga in a couple weeks.
You can never compare the rendition to an original piece. But, if you are a musician look at the arrangement, the vocals and the musical instrument together... even Sergio will give a thumbs up...
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.
Don't know how Chris does it. Whoever he has sing this with him absolutely kills it and he always compliments their style and delivery while also maintaining his own distinctive voice.
I just saw Chris last night in Westhampton Beach, NY and Sy sang "Look of Love". She sang her heart out!! The band was different but they were all very talented especially the drummer.

What an imposing lady, voice and presence. It couldn't be better. Blessings.❤😮
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.
@@KutWrite i agree

𝑶𝒉 𝒎𝒚 𝒚𝒆𝒔 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒆𝒅!!!
Chris Botty, a person who knows when to perform and doesn't show off himself ... great collaboration
I watch this over and over!! Sy Smith is incredible, and stunningly gorgeous!!
H tu😊i😊 il
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 !!!!!!
A trillion- adjusted for inflation.
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.

Her beauty, her vibe and great improvisation of this classic makes everyone on stage come alive!!

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.
The Bass player, Drummer and Chris Botti was all in sync with Sy Smith. Awesome❤🩹👍
Young people pay attention, this is an old classic song, we old people call it mighty sweet!!
Steven Carter, yes indeed. Another "sweet" song from the incomparable Burt Bacharach and Hal David.

BEYOND THAT TY
Hands up to your command my man. I feel you. Yooo young people pay attention, it's time to learn.
Not so old, Anita was the best!
Turn it up young person
I visit this video all the time - why isn't she more popular? Love it.
L Simmons me too, and dance 💃🏽
Due to a bad agent.
She's beautiful her voice is strong I'm loving her
I know she's my lady
Yea mahnn.... luv her vibes.....
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!
Wow great combination
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 really dig that drummer....check him out everyone...😎"
That Bass guitar for me too !
Yes!! Billy Preston and Mark Whitfield are magical together!
Beautifol 🙏💖🤙🏄
Billy Kilson
2:31
Let's not forget to mention the bassist in this outstanding collaboration of musicians. Sy is a fabulous singer.
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!
i agree 100%!!! what is his name?
I would pay double to see this collaboration live. Drummer Billy Kilson is the real deal, underated and highly talented. "What music."
Billy is THE business...like WOW!
He's on beast mode!
Who's the guitarist?
I agreed
Mr. prime time Billy!
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!
Give it up to that drummer!!! My man is hittin everything like his life depends on it!! So good!
No doubt !
He is very animated!!!!
Hell yeeah..
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.
YES!! He is 👏🏻
Chris Botti is a terrific band leader. The drummer is simply killing it.
Billy Kilson
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!
To me it’s just perfection. Love love love that funky scatting with Sy and Chris and Mark and the band! Just what I needed tonite!
Billy Child's piano and Robert Hurst Bass Billy Kilson's drums Mark Whitfield guitar and Chris and Sy took Sergio Mendes classic some serious justice
Great comment Ricardo! Thx!😀
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!
Gives me chills the way she sings this song and the music composition together with Chris Botti is just amazing!
Wonderful! Talented musicians, no autotune, just genuine skill and chemistry between the whole group, hats off. This is life, encapsulated! Thank you.
I saw Sy Smith in Cleveland with Chris Botti and I loved it! They killed!
Shila Iris me too I saw them both in Guadalajara,Jalisco last year. That was the best that I ever listened.
Shila Iris Wow. I heard they're touring together again this year. I'm ready to see them.
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. 🙏🏼💕
Amazing voice! What a beautiful orchestra too, pure class.
Oh my goodness. This an amazing performance by all! I love Christ Botti! Sy is incredible! The orchestra..all of it. heaven

Al Brown You are sooooo out of pocket. Go sit your behind down somewhere.
Al Brown That’s the best comeback you have? So cliche, weak and laughable 😜. Boy, bye 🙋🏽♀️and peace ✌🏾 out!!!
@Al Brown that's uncool.
Horrid, the ‘stylings’ of the singer completely overwhelmed the sweet soulful lyrics and the orchestration obliterated the mood of the original score. This recording should be banned for hurting my heart not just my ears.
I can listen to this 10 times a day! Hypnotizing for sure. Gives me chills.
Spectacular! What a beautiful voice!
What a fantastic rendition and what a charming voice. Utter bliss! Thank you for giving me the pleasure of listening to this xxx

If you get the chance to go see Chris Botti, do it! He's fantastic in concert!
And sooo handsome!!!
He looks old now
Great! Brava Sy Smith! And thank you, Chris Botti and friends, for the cool stuff!
The hair, the dress, those big ear rings, it all works to make her look like she just stepped out of 1977.
Her presence was everything. Her voice reminds of Fantasia. She's so talented.
She looks amazing! Beautiful voice❤
Do you have ears?
@@JL-bu8bz enough people have ears, and most better than mine. I have eyes too. Do you?
She does wear it well. And she sure can sing.
Fantastic performance to this Bacharach and David amazing song. Regards from Brazil.
Beautiful! I love this song and these people are amazing!

Just came across this song, WOW! I'm scrolling for her music. Ms. Smith had a wonderful smooth, jazzy voice.
The real and true Look of Love! Amazing performance by the One and Only Sy Smith!
I have this DVD and this song made me love Sy Smith's songs all the more.
You can never compare the rendition to an original piece. But, if you are a musician look at the arrangement, the vocals and the musical instrument together... even Sergio will give a thumbs up...

I just saw Chris last night in Westhampton Beach, NY and Sy sang "Look of Love". She sang her heart out!! The band was different but they were all very talented especially the drummer.
Perfection personified❤
True fact: I reflexively hit the up-vote button the moment she came out the back with that beautiful smile and beautiful afro.
Musicianship at its very best.
Just saw her on the Josh Groban/Chris Botti tour. Beautiful voice and radiant personality!
Thank you! :-)
Beautiful vocals and with Chris Botti!!!! Love
So, yes and yes. They were all so good together on a song that I have always loved.
Reminds me of the great good old days of Motown. Look at her…what a Diva. The entire ensemble gave me goosebumps.
WOW !!!
If I could give this a 100 likes
I would !!!
I enjoyed this so much! Should've known it was an old clip. Long lived real music and great entertainment.
