@@theblueangel28Ella is certainly more accomplished and has a broader ability. That said, Sarah could hit operatic notes outside of Ella's range. As you implied, both were spectacular talents. I think there's some space between them and the rest.
@@terrybader8595 Yes, I think you're both right. They were both brilliant singers but they had somewhat different instruments. I think Sarah was fuller in the extremes of her register (especially high), but Ella was an elegant stylist who could inhabit a song deeply and pull you in (as in her ballads in the songbooks).When Sarah sings "I'll Close My Eyes," I am transported; when Ella sings "How Long Has This Been Going On," Im transported. They're just different modes of transportation, but both excellent.
Well put, @Branner. I listen to Ella all of the time. She's a nightingale and the undisputed queen of the American songbook. Sarah does have the ability to do things with her voice that are breathtaking. There are some great videos on UA-cam with professional music teachers critiquing Sarah. Almost all of them are astounded by her.
I wish she had recorded it at this tempo and with a trio. Gosh this is perfection! This entire concert moves me to complete joy every time I pull it up to enjoy!
I don't play "bests" or "my top favorite anything" these days, but I have to agree with you. I mean, if I HAD to pick just ONE it would probably be Sarah Vaughan.
I agree I have so much respect for her. I am a singer, and I mean this women was way more then a vocalist she was an instrument, she was down with the sexy baritone lines, then alto to mezzo soprano, she was just just one of a kind, one of the coolest things about the Divine Sarah, was even in her old age she never lost the power of her voice even when sick, she just stayed in insturment and always just perfectly in tune just a beautiful voice!! Sorry I am just amazed by her could really just ramble on :D!!
One pure talented vocalist.. She was Teena Marie favorite singer And Teena Marie is Mary Blige's favorite singer ... For me those three are very very special singers
ES UNA DIOSA UNA REYNA SALVE DIOS A ESTA DAMA MARAVILLOSA SIMPLEMENTE CON ESA TESITURA ESE VIBRATO Y EL MANEJO DEL AIRE EN EL FINAL SUPREMO MARAVILLOSO CELESTIAL
Festivals 1969 looks pretty crazy exciting time. Thelonious Monk , Sarah Vaughan... That generation that lived through early 70's somehow comes across as the most respectful and sociable people at the least for today's standards.
@unclealand you mean people like me who have a degree in vocal performance? Yes. Anybody with talent who trains in classical singing COULD be an operatic singer. But that does not mean that they ARE an opera singer. I worship Sarah. She is top 3 greatest singer of all time. But what you could have done and what you did do are two different things. Class dismissed.
This is truly the Queen of jazz vocals. And I love her!!! So much heart and soul in her voice. I tear up every time I hear her sing. My mothers boyfriend introduced me to her music when I was 12 years old in 1961. I am a fan forever. Bow down to this Queen! There will never be another sassy Sarah.
@@monicabella7894 I be liking Billie. I have lots of her music as well as Sarah. But, one on one, Sarah is numero uno. There are some who may say Ella was tops or Nancy. To each his/her own opinion. Sarah had a range like no other. Tired of talking about it, going to go listen to my girl SARAH now. May even check out Billie later. Adios.
@@monicabella7894 Don’t you have something to do other than bug me about singers? I stand my ground. SARAH VAUGHN is the undisputed QUEEN!!! Now, bug off lady 😼
The ending was so superb, holding that note so tenderly it was sublime! She is the best, but I also like Mary Wells' rendition even though Sarah takes the prize.
I've only had one occasion to see Sarah perform in Detroit. Outstanding performance here and the trio is tight as hell. Finally able to purchase this song online and add it to my playlist at #1. So incredible that she holds that last note for damn near 20 seconds. From high to subtle low. No artists alive or gone, can do it like Sarah!
OMG--that entire song seems to float on one long,silken breath. Just awesome. And listen to the lower range--basso profundo! Staggering. But the final note just floats on forever. This is kick-ass singing!
She's my all-time favorite vocalist. I saw her perform twice--in Chicago and in Monterrey. Awesome and exquisite here on this song. You are deeply missed, Sarah.
Can you imagine being there?! I wouldn’t have been able to contain myself-the way she sings this song gives me in an emotional meltdown. The tears just flood.
Wow, this performance gives me the chills, can only imagine how watching live would feel. I can see Sir Paul just playing this over and over and being so proud.
Pristine Vocals!!! Wow! I've listened to many versions of this song... Of course, I love the Beatles original... But this one? Hands down, my favorite! #divineone
Agree!!! I can't stop listening even though the next song will be Sarah. When she covered a song her version became the standard. Maybe the best instrument of all times! #sassysarah
Deep in our hearts - with that voice and talent! Some aficionado will be listening to this voice in 200 years and will be mesmerized by it! Sassy For eternity!
I give her all my love That's all I do And if you saw my love You'd love her, too I love her She gives me everything And tenderly The kiss my lover brings She brings to me And I love her A love like ours Could never die As long as I Have you near me Bright are the stars that shine Dark is the sky I know this love of mine Will never die And I love her Bright are the stars that shine Dark is the sky I know this love of mine Will never die And I love her
She needs a great song that doesn't get in the way -- then it's just how she feels about the song, how she feels in the moment -- and her supernatural musical instrument and genius, with a little help from her friends -- and you free fall into her soul.
This was a wonderful trio for her and she sounded sublime with them. You could tell they were in synch with each other. They knew how to play for her. They left it open for her to just sing. What a great loss for the world when Sarah's voice was stilled. She sings with the angels now. I bet she sings lead!
I really loved Miss Sarah Vaughn. I only pray that I could sing like her. What a magnificent voice; she had so much range and could really hold a note for a looooonnnnnggggg time too!!! WOW!!
Why do people listen to Sarah Vaughan and jump into the comments to argue with those of us who love her? If there was truly another vocalist as good as her, we'd all be really happy but there ain't. Viva La Davina!
Stunning live performance reminds me of first time seeing Sarah in concert early seventies at The Troubadour...unforgettable experience and nobody could sing quite like her...Bravo Sarah!!!
She is so good and that is the best cover I ever heard of a Beatles tune. Besides her vocal qualities she is able to raise the material to a new higher level. Many good singers can not do that. She is one of a kind. Thanks for posting.
WHOEVER POSTED THIS! THANK YOU SO MUCH! This is my favorite SARAH song and I'm in tears at 3:07 and SCREAMED when I saw that there was finally a live version to WATCH and witness of this song outside of the Live at Monterey Jazz Album which I absolutely ADORE.. Thank you.. The Finesse, And careful creativity is SO full of grace, I forgot this is by the Beatles.. This is Sarah's and not Esther Phillips... Lord.. Just... Thank God for this Clip!!!
I love Ella to no end, but have to admit that Sarah was the queen.
Ultimately Ella is more talented, she can do more musically complicated things.
But Sarah is very close, and has that incredible sound

The last 20 seconds, holding "hiiiiiiiiiim" is so...(speechless).
And the backing band carefully pacing their notes! It often lives in my mind rent free
Yes, the sublimely held last note. My favourite jazz genius of all time.
my personal favorite female vocalists of all time, never to be duplicated a treasure for the ages
I don't play "bests" or "my top favorite anything" these days, but I have to agree with you. I mean, if I HAD to pick just ONE it would probably be Sarah Vaughan.
Mine too, and I have quite a list of female vocalists I admire, all excellent but not quite as excellent as Sarah.

Me too ! She speaks to ,y soul. There are so many great female singers but the divine one is like no other
You know you've arrived if Sarah Vaughan sings even one of your songs.
There is no other female singer alive that can hold a candle to her performance on this song....Sarah is Truly Divine
dear Lord.....that last note....just......end all.
That's Sarah ! INCREDIBLE !
BRAVA!!
Amazing... Just amazing.
ES UNA DIOSA UNA REYNA SALVE DIOS A ESTA DAMA MARAVILLOSA SIMPLEMENTE CON ESA TESITURA ESE VIBRATO Y EL MANEJO DEL AIRE EN EL FINAL SUPREMO MARAVILLOSO CELESTIAL
Incredible last note...and she still had air for more.
abelsincain That’s what gets me!!
YOU'RE RIGHT!!
I completely agree with you. Breathtaking and olympic!
Es fabuloso e increible el final vaya voz
Festivals 1969 looks pretty crazy exciting time. Thelonious Monk , Sarah Vaughan...
That generation that lived through early 70's somehow comes across as the most respectful and sociable people at the least for today's standards.
The interval at 2:19 shattered my soul. Who even thinks like that?!?!?! She's my idol. I will forever be inspired by her in her entirety.
This was the song my wife and I danced to for our first dance at our wedding.
The end of the song is perfection because she leaves the note as an opera singer (well, she was one!)
She was not..thats a hugely different thing
@@theblueangel28 Funny you say that. Musicians who know their stuff insist she could have been a perfect mezzo.
@unclealand you mean people like me who have a degree in vocal performance?

I worship Sarah. She is top 3 greatest singer of all time.

Wow that last note, first plain then with vibrato. What a fantastic way to finish a song!!!!
Exactly ! I was thinking it's something that she launches in the universe, it's like that sound would travel somewhere else.... Pure art !!!
THE BEST -- the absolute best rendition of this song.
Sarah Vaughan: per sempre! 😊❤

This particular performance with the orange lipstick is absolutely phenomenal. The sound quality, her choices on every song are superb.
The lady was one of the great artists of the 20th century.
Top 3
Such a talent. Still loved and thanked for her wonderful contribution to music. England, October, 2024.
The Queen Of Jazz Vocal, The Divine One, Sarah Vaughan
The ending was so superb, holding that note so tenderly it was sublime! She is the best, but I also like Mary Wells' rendition even though Sarah takes the prize.
her approach to this song was so great .....the ending was so classic Sarah too....hit em with a HIGH NOTE
Cold blooded!!❤❤😂
Her voice is truly an instrument....incredible pitch and range...your ears can't believe what you are hearing at certain points.
Everything about this performance is exquisitely beautiful, from the haunting bossa accompaniment to Sarah's indescribable magnificence.
The late GREAT GREAT GREAT Sarah Vaughn pure pure pure perfection one of a kind one of the greatest that ever lived.
So gorgeous.
I think her voice got better as she aged, you can’t say that for too many. Sarah is and always will be Divine
I’ve watched her 1000 times.....
Countless for years. Sensual, soulful and impeccable.
At least 60,000 of these views are mine alone!! I can't stop myself from comiing back to this song!!!
Wow. She is/was the love of my life when it comes to female singers.

Simply the best - the most perfect interpretation of the Beatles in jazz rhythm.
I was so moved by Sarah's beautiful rendition of this song.
the best...unbelievable voice...nobody touches sarah vaughan!!!
Nobody!
james swell You’re right!
She's my all-time favorite vocalist. I saw her perform twice--in Chicago and in Monterrey. Awesome and exquisite here on this song. You are deeply missed, Sarah.
as for me I prefer Esther phillips version...
Words can't describe how beautiful this cover is. MY HEAVENS!!!! I fell in love with "HIM". The man she's singing about. LOL!
No One Sings This Song Like SARAH!!
And I love you, too, Ms. Sarah Vaughan! The BEST ever!
