- "They All Laughed" is a song composed by George Gershwin, with lyrics by Ira Gershwin, written for the 1937 film Shall We Dance where it was introduced by Ginger Rogers as part of a song and dance routine with Fred Astaire. The lyrics compare those who "laughed at me, wanting you" with those who laughed at some of history's famous scientific and industrial pioneers, asking, "Who's got the last laugh now?" People and advances mentioned are Christopher Columbus's alleged proof the earth is round; Thomas Edison's phonograph; Guglielmo Marconi's wireless telegraphy; the Wright brothers's first flight; the Rockefeller Center; Eli Whitney's cotton gin; Robert Fulton's North River Steamboat; Milton S. Hershey's Hershey bar chocolate; and Henry Ford's "Tin Lizzy" Model T car.
Sarah Lois Vaughan (March 27, 1924 -- April 3, 1990) was an American jazz singer, described by Scott Yanow as having "one of the most wondrous voices of the 20th century." Nicknamed "Sailor" (for her salty speech), "Sassy" and "The Divine One", Sarah Vaughan was a Grammy Award winner. The National Endowment for the Arts bestowed upon her its "highest honor in jazz", the NEA Jazz Masters Award, in 1989.
Vaughan was born in Newark, New Jersey, to Asbury "Jake" Vaughan, a carpenter by trade who played guitar and piano, and Ada Vaughan, a laundress who sang in the church choir, migrants from Virginia. The Vaughans lived in a house on Brunswick Street in Newark for Vaughan's entire childhood. Jake was deeply religious. The family was active in New Mount Zion Baptist Church at 186 Thomas Street. Vaughan began piano lessons at the age of seven, sang in the church choir, and played piano for rehearsals and services. Sarah and her family were all registered Democrats.
She developed an early love for popular music. In the 1930s, she frequently saw local and touring bands at the Montgomery Street Skating Rink. By her mid-teens, she ventured illegally into Newark's night clubs and performed as a pianist and singer at the Piccadilly Club and at Newark Airport.
Vaughan attended East Side High School, then transferred to Newark Arts High School, which opened in 1931. As her nocturnal adventures as a performer overtook her academic pursuits, she dropped out of high school during her junior year to concentrate more fully on her music.
In 1989, Vaughan's health began to decline, although she rarely revealed any hints of this in her performances. She canceled a series of engagements in Europe in 1989, citing the need to seek treatment for arthritis of the hand, although she was able to complete a series of performances in Japan. During a run at New York's Blue Note Jazz Club in 1989, she was diagnosed with lung cancer and was too ill to finish the last day of what would turn out to be her final series of public performances.
Vaughan returned to her home in California to begin chemotherapy and spent her final months alternating stays in the hospital and at home. She grew weary of the struggle and demanded to be taken home, where at the age of 66 she died on the evening of April 3, 1990, while watching Laker Girls, a television movie featuring her daughter.
Her funeral was held at Mount Zion Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey. Following the ceremony, a horse-drawn carriage transported her body to Glendale Cemetery, Bloomfield.
Sarah's accompanied by Richard Davis (Bass); Ronnell Bright (Piano); and Art Morgan (Drums).
The odds were a hundred-to-one against me
The world thought the heights were too high to climb
But people from Missouri never incensed me
Oh, I wasn't a bit concerned
For from history I had learned
How many, many times the worm had turned
They all laughed at Christopher Columbus
When he said the world was round
They all laughed when Edison recorded sound
They all laughed at Wilbur and his brother
When they said that man could fly
They told Marconi
Wireless was a phony
It's the same old cry
They laughed at me wanting you
Said I was reaching for the moon
But, oh, you came through
Now they'll have to change their tune
They all said we never could be happy
They laughed at us and how
But ho, ho, ho
Who's got the last laugh now?
They all laughed at Rockefeller Center
Now they're fighting to get in
They all laughed at Whitney and his cotton gin
They all laughed at Fulton and his steamboat
Hershey and his chocolate bar
Ford and his Lizzie
Kept the laughers busy
That's how people are
They laughed at me wanting you
Said it would be, "hello, goodbye"
But, oh, you came through
Now they're eating humble pie
They all said we'd never get together
Darling, let's take a bow
For ho, ho, ho
Who's got the last laugh?
Hee, hee, hee
Let's at the past laugh
Ha, ha, ha
Who's got the last laugh now?
I bought my first Sarah Vaughan record in 1955, together with Ella they opened up a new world of modern jazz vocalists to me. Watching this early video of Sarah brings happy memories of those days and has actually brought tears to my eyes..
How can anyone with such style and presence have appeared so relaxed when delivering a song - - love you Sarah Vaughan !
This is the best version of this song. No one has ever done it as exceptionally well as Sarah.
And I thought I loved Ella’s version!
ARMY?💜💜💜Tae-tae🐯
One of the finest vocal talents to EVER walk this Earth ! 😊😀😃 .
The lady cannot be surpassed!
Indeed, she really was the Queen, wasn't she? Such effortless power in her voice together with an amazing gift for musicality.
The first line kills me... the way she softly but effectively sings "the odds...."
I totally agree! Especially when she sings “against me “ so sweet and smooth! It’s like a short lullaby.🥰
Only God could produce a voice like that.
Jeffery D'Amico... and La Davina.
You mean evolution
@@niklaslachmann1038 you heard the guy...
@@btinsley1 but god is a superstition right? How could he produce something?
@@niklaslachmann1038 a superstition to you...
not the faithful...but you already knew that. Have a seat dear...
This was probably a personal testimony of her decision to become a jazz singer which was often taboo in the African American community where gospel music was a big influence in African American culture during her era.. Ms Sassy Sarah Vaughn is in a class of musicians that will never be duplicated.
This lady had a seriously great voice. Sensational singer.
This lady was one of the finest singers EVER. Thank you for this post. She was such a natural talent - and mesmerizing every single time she sang.
Indeed, the was amazing!
Total mastery.
God she was good. I could listen to her all day.
Now _that's_ DIVINE!❤️🔥
All it took was hearing her phrasing and one-in-a-quadrillion, saxophone-at-dusk* voice on "world" 0:23 for me to _get_ why everyone goes wild for Miss Sarah Vaughan.
*James Beard's phrase describing Alice B. Toklas's unique & irresistible speaking voice.
👏🔥🥰🔥
I love her. It's as simple as that. My wife puts up with it.
LOL. Why fight it?
(:
Lesson in singing! No one could match her!
What about Ella Fitzgerald?
Best singer on the planet!!
All that's good about humanity is in that voice. Actually- that woman.
Love what she does on "recorded Sound."
Yes, genius.
"... the odds" OOOHHH!!! The vocal control with just that first line!! SHEESUSS
Can't stop listening to this track! I wish it would last longer. It's a masterclass.
Taehyung my baby 💜
She was a GREAT singer, yet some STILL want to label her...she was in league of her own. She's what everyone reaching for, to have a voice like that--- God only knows.

Honestly, the arrangement and how she sings it is PURE genius. Someone else wrote that this is their favorite version and after hearing this for the first time I must second that.
Nagyon tetszett ez a gyönyörű dal, köszönettel Klára.

EU, AQUI NO RIO, UMA NOITE FRIA, NOVEMBRO DE 2017 - FINAL DE ANO SE APROXIMA - FAÇO UM BALANÇO DA MINHA VIDA !
ESTÁ VALENDO A PENA - MESMO - AOS 63 ANOS ME SINTO COM MUITA DISPOSIÇÃO E MOTIVAÇÃO !
EU, AQUI NO WINDSOR HOTEL EM COPACABANA - SÓZINHO - AGAIN !
AO OLHAR PARA O RETROVISOR DE MINHA VIDA PERCEBO CLARAMENTE QUE NÃO VALE A PENA CHORAR - MELHOR SORRIR - SEMPRE ! VIVI E DEIXEI VIVER !

“Divine One” is very appropriate.
oh yeeeah
God always gets the last laugh
So true
She's my favorite Sassy, the devine
I gotta thanks to Tae for letting me know this song, I love it
When she got older, her voice dropped a lot. Her range was maybe half an octave lower. Love the younger version.
God exists and she is female - and black
Nista lepse nego kada dan zapocne sa Sarom :)

She needed to learn what to do with her face & the way she moves. Before she started singing she moved like she was about to start a boxing match. Then she looked bored, tired, and over it while she was actually singing.
Most people didn't care about what she did with her face. They concentrated on her singing. Maybe that is why she lasted for almost six decades.
You must be looking at a different video Arya. She looks like she's in total control of her voice and presentation. She also seems fully aware of instructions from the producer who no doubt told her where to stand given the technology of the day.
Oh yeah...did I mention how beautiful she is while making her challenging vocals seem effortless?

Who cares focus on her voice not how they look
@@official-pg8hy You focus on everything. Get over it.
