She’s singing wonderfully. I’m glad you’ve saved this song she’s singing. I knew Helen Merrill’s son Alan Merrill a little in the clubs. Alan was a wonderful singer and guitar player.
Wow! How did I never hear of this awesome vocalist before? Been listening to jazz and big band for years and somehow this fine lady escaped my knowledge. I now have another favorite singer.
If anyone has more live footage from the '50s and '60s of the amazing Helen Merrill, it would be of great service to upload it for the whole world to see.
You'd be so nice to come home to You'd be so nice by the fire While the breeze on high sang a lullaby You'd be all that I could desire Under stars chilled by the winter Under an August moon burning above You'd be so nice, you'd be paradise To come home to and love
@@samkohen4589 Wow, haven't heard Laura Nyro's name for many years! Will have to check for any videos, to refresh my memory of her voice. Helen's singing is just wonderful.
Helen could sing the dictionary and make it gorgeous so underestimated. There are three great jazz singers Billie Holiday, Anita O"day and Helen Merrill.
PREFER ANITA a lot. And Irene. And Rosie. And Chris. The black ladies are far superior ...4 obvious reazons ..A great-lookin woman, but can t even stay in the key here. Also the comp is weird as if behind.
Just discovering her, WOW! I can't believe I've went my whole life not listening to her. Amazing Vocalist.
I bought the complete HELEN MERRILL on Mercury many years ago at TOWER RECORDS NEW YORK.. Great BOX SET..
Oh my goodness, same, I am in love
Same here. Glad I came across her recordings.
Mother of the late singer Alan Merrill and aunt to the legendary singer song writer Laura Nyro. What a family!
That's interesting thanks
do they have unreleased music
Helen Merrill is a legend. Totally underrated. This is gold.
Terribly underrated singer her album with Clifford Brown is a masterpiece
Will check it out! thanks!
I'm here cause I heard her sing "Lazy Afternoon"
agree completely, I've been listening to it for many years, never gets old
Wonderful singer
Il n'est jamais trop tard pour découvrir la plus grande chanteuse de jazz

What a beautiful, foggy voice soothing its way through this Cole Porter song. Lovely Helen Merrill.

The song brought me here. I did not know the singer. I do now. Thanks.
She has a Doris Day look on this. Helen is a true jazz singer.
I found a couple of her records, but never really listened until now, beautiful!! Where are all the singers like this today?
A fine and underrated singer. Glad to see this clip of her.
What a GREAT thing to see and hear!
Helen Merrill was such a talent. It’s a real treat to see her live here. This reading is bright and jazzy, and how about that little scat coda!
You'd be so nice to come home to
You'd be so nice by the fire
While the breeze on high sang a lullaby
You'd be all that I could desire
Under stars chilled by the winter
Under an August moon burning above
You'd be so nice, you'd be paradise
To come home to and love
往年の歌い方しか聞いたことがなかったので新鮮に感じます✨
Helen Merrill jazz singer legend.
2022 and I sing this song with friends every other Monday .one of our favorite song !
It is wonderful that I can see such a video!!
It is so nice to hear what real singing sounds like!
How come I have to watch this every day?
I'm in Love!
She’s still alive! 89 years young
born 21-7-1929 , so she'll be 91 in July
She sadly lost her only child, Alan, to COVID-19.
@@wsidechris as I am excruciatingly well aware. He was my closest friend. :(
@@wsidechris She was also an aunt of the legendary artist Laura Nyro. She and Alan were very close

This appears to be the only video of this singer before the 1980's available on the internet.Thank you for making it available.
yes, I noticed that to - it seems that any footage of Helen in her peak years is hard to come by.
There is one earlier one with her singing “if you go away” Look it up 😊
@@CalecheBridalHouse I cant find it ...only the song but with a slideshow of actress Virna Lisi
Une superbe voix
Wow. Thanks very much.
この時代のジャズは良かった。
the 12 people who didn't like this are shallow.
髪形が、返って新鮮ですね👍
I really like her.
WOW!
She started with Earl Fatha Hines's band in the 40's.
@Garber1956 JUST LIKE Lorez Alexandria in the 50s
She's wonderful. I wonder who the personnel are? The bassist sounds as big as a house. Bad ass.
歳月は人を待たず
この唄があってこそのヘレンメリルだったんですね
レコードだけしか知りませんでした
伊東ゆかりや、青江 三奈の原点でしょうか
アニタオディとは異なる世界
I don't know why i want to cry 😢
so don't i...
I'm smitten.
Lindo 🌷🎵
ジャズの女王👍👍👍👍♥️
Marvelous
The Fashion style is more like in the 50´s? Maybe late 50´s the latest? Love it, thanks for uploading! :-)
Its 1960.. I know someone who was there...Ms Merrill's son actually
It says right there in the title: 1960
❤❤❤❤❤❤
カッコいい😢
good

She rifts somewhat like Billy! I think they even collaborated together.
omg she looks so much like Miss Doris Day in this!
Check out HELEN IN CONVERSATION WITH LADY DAY ON UTUBE .... MAGICAL....
Does anyone know who she's singing with? The drummer is especially good
Is the date for certain? Thank you.
gfm Yes, I was just a kid, there on my school holidays. Summer of 1960.
Sax phrasing
すばらしい‼️これを見るまで黒人女性シンガーと思ってたけど、白人？こんな声出るの?それとも白人風にしているけど黒人?
Who are the personals?
動くヘレン・メリルだ！
有名レコードジャケットの写真ひどすぎ。（私見です）
英語圏の方向けに
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa from japan!
NYのタメ息だ

Elle chante faux... out of tune... sorry to say
息子のアランメリルとは青山や六本木で良く遊びました！
