I look at this way; aren't we lucky to have had both Ella and Sarah?
Ella was asked what her favorite song/s from another artist was. She answered "Sarah Vaughn- The Nearness of You"
@@saltedcaramel394 I like better the one with Ella and Louie Armstrong
@@Gilbert-Wolf
Jo Stafford
@@monicabella7894I’ll look it up 😊
@@monicabella7894 True!! Great version with Jo Stafford, Thank you!! 😊
Isn't that comparing apples and oranges? They're both out of this world. Sarah's voice is like a deep Burgundy, Ella's is like sparkling Champagne. Sinatra's is like Stout, fitting for a "saloon singer." Who would give up any of them?
Right On !!!
Exactly!
Not only does she sing this to die for..she does the verse, which very few singers do. Sass kicks ass!!!!
What can one say? Perfection? Heavenly? Yes one of the most wondrous voices of all time.
Where has this version been my entire life? OMG
A genius like Sarah Vaughan doesn't need to be described by the number of awards won. That is just to diminish such a gift as hers so far beyond from conventional ways of measurement
So well put, Luis!!!
That vibrato is insane, what a tone
Greatest vibrato ever.
The best. The orchestra must bow to her. ❤
Love the way Sarah finds her own melodies in the song and elevates the tune to her own compositional heights when she sings. Thanks for sharing this gorgeous clip!!
Well said that's exactly it...she does.....
The greatest italian singer, Mina, said in an interview that she still has to pull herself together from the amazeness she felt the first time she heard ms Sarah Vaughan, legendary!!! Everything is perfection about Sassy's singing, her pure tone with dynamics from pianissimo (never voiceless like these modern whispering singers that try to croon confidentially) to forte without shouting, rasping or gasping just to show off a fake power, natural, juicy low notes to high notes in full head voice, never thin and childish, expression, musicianship, creativity, taste, the all package
She had a magnificent instrument. I feel that she overdoes the vibrato.
As a Little Boy Smokey Robinson admitted that he was a big fan of her music growing up in Detroit.
I saw here three times. Utterly divine
Drayton Bird lucky I was born after she died I'd of loved to of seen her live
HER VOICE IS BEYOND ANY WORDS CAN CONVEY, SO VERY BEAUTIFUL.
Good heavens. . .The Divine One was indeed the right name for the great Sarah Vaughan.
Perhaps the greatest stylist and improvisor of all the pop/jazz female singers; she's wonderful and joy to listen to.
Breathtaking
Duke Ellington put it best when he described this wonderful lady as
"Beyond Category"
Why do I just wither and forget all resistance
When you and your magic pass by
My hearts in a dither dear
When you're at a distance
But when you are near, oh my So many singers especially contemporary ones skip the first lines which in my opinion gives more meaning to the song. Thank you for the wonderful performance
There are no words..........that can encompass this woman, this artistry, this gift.
Endless controlled articulations in her voice. Rare talent.
Oh wow, she sings the little known verse too. This is very very special. Thank you so much for posting.
She is just glorious. One of my favorite singers ever!
The voice of an angel
I think she is one ❤️🥀👼🏿
My favorite everything singer of all time: Hope we'll meet again in another life when we're both young, healthy, strong, looking for a love and we catch each other's eyes. Love you Sarah: Remember the lyrics "We'll me Again, some way, some how , but I know we'll meet again some sunny day..."; too square but in earnest, sung by Vera Lynn.
+jeff Craven Did you know that even before Dick Clark Hosted American Bandstand they used to show Snaders when it was still known as Bob Horn's Bandstand in Philadelphia. They showed Peggy Lee singing A Latin Style Song.
+laminage Yes, I know it. If you like I have had, became friends with persons of many nationalities and colors, you know it's mainly governmental and religious propaganda that keeps people separated into groups; except for the class issue. I'm far from rich, just like my parents, but what really gets in my crawl is when someone gets jealous over what you have when you've worked hard to get where you are, plus atheist sorts that like to try to destroy our faith (NPR showcase them). I'm mainly white, and racist of any color are the scourges of society, welfare recipients that keep finding more loopholes to get over on the taxpayer, illegal aliens, and a huge number of U.S. politicians and their lobbyist are the enemies of the U.S. People.
What a sweet, beautiful, heartfelt sentiment. I truly enjoyed reading it. I too am a long-time admirer of the GREAT Ms. Sarah Vaughan & appreciate others who express how they feel about her. Thank you kind gentleman. I will pray you get your wish one day in Heaven. God bless you.💕🙏💕
Great singer, artist. Sassy's one of the greatest singers ever!!!
One of LaFitzgerald's favorite recordings
Billie, Dinah and Sarah. It's impossible to imagine a world that they didn't grace with the beauty of their song.
TaxiSlim Don't forget Ella....
I cant believe he left out Ella
@@karenwatson5053 he would have got it right if had ella instead of Billy!
@@mrmetaphysics9457 Absolutely not! Billie is the greatest of all of them. Her voice, per se, is not "beautiful" but her expressive power is beyond description.
@@mrmetaphysics9457 Ella has a lovely, bland voice. She sleepwalks through a song as though she's never known passion, love, or heartbreak!
In my humble opinion, the single greatest female jazz singer of all time... period.
Sarah Vaughan id so underrated
LOL
2020 in the House 🏠 listening 👌 Sarah Vaughn
The colorized version is not so yummy as the original B & W, but the sound is still as lovely as can be. And what charming lyric: "the nearness" of the propinquity of the beloved, the simple physical "nearness." Such a brilliant hymn to the greatest delight: physical love. And the velvety, sensuous beauty of Sarah's voice in simple delight. Rare beauty! Yes, "wondrous"!
I wish I could travel back in time and feel the nearness of her singing this song to me....
Thanks for posting.
I love her l love her love her
This song makes me wanna dance with somebody I love...
I've seen many video clips from her later years but few from her earlier days, so this was a treat. Her voice in her youth was the purest sound you could ever get from a jazz vocalist.
Sarah Vaughan was one of the top 5 female jazz singers. She's making it her own.
Superb, just superb.
That vibrato ..I can’t
Aaaaaah ..... a young Sarah Vaughan! Great rare footage! Thanks for sharing my friend!
Sarah is one of a kind...so glad to have been around to enjoy her...
Divine.
Divine indeed
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! This great lady is my all time favorite singer. Thank you, so very much for posting this video. Just Great!
incredible
Love the way she ends w/ the maj. 9th note
If I was ever asked who were my singing idols, I would answer that Ella Fitz, Barbra Streisand, Dinah Washington, and the the one who would stick out a little more would be Sarah Vaughan. Thank goodness for RUclips to have footage of her television appearances and catalog of song to help us keep her music and memories alive and the younger generation can realize what real music is truly about. I still miss her after these passing years since her death back in 1990. I know she's entertaining up in heaven. Still RIP.
This is Like Heaven
women these days dont have a clue in usa....this is a real woman and she is a gift from the heavens....
All I can say is WOW!!!
Love Sarah!!
Just gorgeous!! Thank you!
Want to be a great Lady singer? Just do everything that Sarah does. Then, you have a chance....
Sass was sheer PERFECTION!
Simply Amazing... :-)
LOVE THIS!! Loved her style.
thank YOU!
OMG - she's so cute here! When would this have been? As she got older, I love how she used the lower range of her voice more. A great, great artist - one of the best of all time! Towards the end of her career I have a recording of South Pacific - her Bali Hai is amazing!
I wish she would have done what doris day did
I WOULD HAV DIED TO SEE SARAH VAUGHAN IN SOME MOVIES
But i know it was much different back then i just wish i had more videos to watch of her..
I totally agree W/ you Allan
Bob and Carol, Ted and Alice. First time I ever heard of her. Swept away by her voice in the 1969 movie. If I remember correctly she sang Handel's Messiah.
The Divine One in glorious color!!
Heavenly voice.
Lovely song...
Simplesmente MARAVILHOSA!!!
For those of us who enjoyed living through the 40s and into the 50s with the great post WWII era pop music when you turned the pages of the book of your musical memories a full chapter of adoration for The Voice was a special section to and of itself. People try always to rate the best of everything. Music isn't competititon and shouldn't be, but of all the female singers ever only two were in distinct classes by themselves, Yma Sumac and Sarah Vaughan. Love ya Sass!
SO AMAZING VOICE I LOVE IT SARAH VAUGHAN THAT'S WARS MUSIC THE OLD BLACK JAZZ AND OLDIES I AM IN HEAVEN😍😍😍😍😍
Simply the best ever

Jo Stafford
Wicked post, as always mate!
Unmistakable😉
Miles said Sarah could run more chords with her voice than anyone in the band.
O My godness,so Beautiful
LOVE HER FOREVER............
Perfeito !
:) Love me some Sarah!!
Remembering"Lil Foxy" in The Turtle Walk Restaurant/Showroom at The Jack Tar Resort, West End, Grand Bahama, back in the'60s. Man that guy could belt out a tone.
Sumac was famous for her fantastic range-pitch. It was contributed to her
regional origin. Sarah had natural talent and darn great voice coaches.
Who the heck is Sumac?? Ok does not matter. Lol
@@phyllislen ...Yma Sumac was before your time!
Damn!!!
Sarah Vaughan held me close and said everything was going to be all right, she passed away a few months later.
I first heard about her when I was watching Motown Returns To The Apollo back in 1985. I was born in 1966 so she was a bit before my time. From what I heard this was called a Snader which are early versions of Music Videos. Dick Clark showed one on an American Bandstand Anniversary TV Special. Peggy did one to Manana which means Tomorrow in Spanish. In The UK they would have Films courtesy of The Pathe Company where they would do Clips most notably of The Royal Family whether it was Queen Elizabeth or even King Hussein of Jordan.
Why Oh why, Does music not sound like this anymore?
this is miss. sarah vaughan , the lady who can go from baritone to soprano in one breath , i call it vocal gymnastics , if there's another singer who can do this , please tell me .
+Daniel Forte None could duplicate her but Dianne Reeves is worth a try. Check her out and let me know. She's a Sarah follower too.
:-)
+arnborj6 nice to hear from you , i did check out ms reeves , great voice , buttttt ! i have always maintained that the vocalist of the forties and fifties , will always maintain a mystique because they had their pick of the greatest songs ever written , that was when cole porter , the gershwins , johnny mercer , sammy cahn, lerner and loewe , rodgers , hart , hammerstein and the list goes on , boy did the write them , and the world has remained mystyfied to this day .
+Daniel Forte None could really duplicate vocalist of that old era and the least thing our generation can do is learn from them. Thanks for giving it a try to listen though. I just watched earlier an interview about Sammy Cahn on how he write out a song/s. I find it so amazing. I like your list of composers. I'm a big Sinatra fan.
:-)
Daniel Forte Sarah was pure perfection.. Chaka khan is the only singer that comes to mind. But Sass was the greatest!!
@@missmyasia it's been a while , saw CHAKA live recently one of my fav. but SARAH uses octaves like no other i have ever heard .
🔥
Other than the dodgy quality of the recording, this is a real treasure from Sarah, the most amazing vocalist in her genre or the 20th century.
Don't forget the treasure of the video image of the very young Sarah!
Well Said Richard40171 !!!
AKA Sailor! From a language standpoint! ;-)
Most of you think that the late, great Sarah Lois Vaughan is a just a jazz singer. False!!! This amazing woman was one of the world's greatest songstress ever, PERIOD!!! She could sing countless Popular Standards composed by the Gershwin brothers, Rodgers & Hart, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Cole Porter, Cahn & Styne, Cahn & Van Heusen, Burke & Van Heusen, Irving Berlin, Eubie Blake, Fats Waller, etc. The list of songwriters are endless. Long live THE DIVINE ONE: SARAH LOIS VAUGHAN (March 27th, 1924 - April 3rd, 1990). THE NEARNESS OF YOU was composed by Hoagy Carmichael and Ned Washington.
this 'is the song' that was played in a scene in the 2017 TV series 'Feud' about the film acting battle of Bette Davis (Susan Surandon) and Joan Crawford (Jessica Lange). The scene consists of Joan taking a break in bathtub while smoking in her dressing trailer on the film set. Now, the film credits stated it was Ella Fitzgerald singing the radio song..but i'm sure it was Sarah Vaughan.
