The very, very great Ms. Carmen MCRAE is performing in God's Paradise as you read this. During her earthly descent she did many things in the American art form of "Jazz" that was beyond category. Embracing the true beauty of Lady Day and so many of her songs that were not well known such as "It's Like Reaching For The Moon and that "Old Devil Called Love." Singing chord changes with the lyric and accompanying herself so fabulously well on piano. Impeccable diction and timing, to name a few.
(Continued.) I loved and adored Carmen, to her last breath and beyond. Many, many thanks to the creator for giving this earthly world the very beautiful and talented Carmen McRae. Thank you cminor7thadded9th. I'am sure she sang many of them, especially on Monk's compositions. Peace and Love.
Oh my Goodness! The Lady Is just Stunning! Gorgeous, Marvelous! How Sweet and Classy! 🙋♀️❤️ Carmen McRae!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙋♀️❤️🇧🇷
I believe this was one year before she retirede because of emphysema. I read that McCrae was a chain smoker. If only.... If only.... She still conveyed so much emotion in her interpretation. I love her earlier work and wish earlier video footage of her was available.
why judge her on smoking--can you sing and emote as she does? with or without smoking? try it while walking in a bike lane in nyc--you won't make it either!
goodgirlsguide I used to listen to DS. I find she lacks a true emotional, soul connection when she sings a lyric. I can name the 3 or 4 best versions of this song and his right here with Ms Carmen is one of the best. The fact that she sings it like the lyrics are not memorized is an art … she creates Th scenario that she’s reaching emotionally for the words … a tried and true part of her incredible style. ~K

She sounds like shes reading it without knowing the melody...you wouldn't know it was a beautiful song!
Diane's version is much better.
