Very refreshing to hear a young singer who doesn't sing like Beyonce, Brandi, Rihanna or Jennifer Hudson... Nothing against those four but this style of singing is becoming a lost art. Thanks to this young lady Samara Joy it's not lost yet.
My sentiments exactly...perfect diction, phrasing and the introduction of VERSES to classic songs. Samara Joy your STAR is shining brightly. My debut CD QUIETLY is 25 years this year and I explored 17 Ballads with VERSES. Thank you for exposing a new generation to when songs had depth and substance!!! Congratulations Lovely Lady...you are a JOY to behold.
I was about to die from an overdose in my apartment in Miami all alone after so many different drugs…I went to grab my phone and I couldn’t even see what I pressed and out of no where UA-cam started and this song played. My heart was beating out of my chest and then the room turned white and I felt at peace. My heart slowed down and I survived. Jesus Christ is real people. He saved my life.
LOVE HER! There is such pleasure in hearing a really good jazz voice. Tears brimming. Went back to listen to an old favorite, Etta Jones, for quality check. Yep, no question: this young lady is the REAL thing. We needed this.
Where in the world did this young lady come from with her lovely, lilting voide reminiscent of a young and present day Sarah Vaughn or Ella Fitzgerald. Well, we may get only one in a century, and I'm so glad I have been able to witness both in my lifetime. What about anyone else out there? Loving and loving and loving it!
I can’t stop listening to Samara! God given gift! I’m so glad my friends and I went to see her in Scottsdale! Can’t wait for her to come back to Arizona!
I think everything I want to say about this lady's singing has been already said. Her tonal qualities are so reminiscent of the late great Ella Fitzgerald.
This young, black, beautiful talent is what the world needs. Keep singing Samara, you bring JOY to the world with your gift. God has blessed you tremendously!
Ohhh Dios un oasis en este desierto musical . Una voz real y fresca . Todo una hermosa sorpresa . Gracias por el regalo de la música . Éxitos a largo plazo …. Samara .
My dear you are simply amazing. What a treat for our ears. Dinah, Billie, Ella and Sarah are applauding from the heavens. ❤️. Continued success in your career.
"Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most" is not an easy song to sing because of the dynamic range it requires and she did it easily. Her voice is a clear and crisp as Dakota Staton with the dynamic range of Sarah vaughan. I'm 67 years old and thought that I would die never to see this sort of talent again. This young lady blows me away. Her voice has gotten better since she's started.
So glad I watched the Grammys this year !! Once they showed you winning and I heard your voice I turned off the Grammys and came to UA-cam to listen to more of you! ❤ and wow your voice is amazing!!!!!
A serious vocal talent.. Definitely a natural relating to a long gone golden day in jazz. Amazing that she's so young! Can't wait to hear her when she decides to spread her wings!!! Definitely a rare gem...
Lovely, lovely young lady...You are indeed living up to your family name - Joy! I just heard your recordings for the first time in Austin, Texas. I was gobsmacked and delighted, renewed and excited that in a time of such pain and difficulty for our nation, you are bringing such lovely energy and love to the world...the world needs what you are doing. May God keep you, and thank you for sharing your lovely voice. Your fan, Lane.
I like the clarity of Samara Joy's voice along with her phrasing. She has a lovely command of the American songbook. I look forward to hearing how she matures and changes through the coming years.
Perhaps the best YOUNG jazz singer. But Sheila Jordan is still alive - and performing AT 95!!!!!!!! Jordan, to be sure, always had a very small voice. She knew exactly what to do with it, however. And still does. I last heard her in New York City a few months ago. You can't compare Samara with Sheila. You can't compare anyone with Sheila. She is iconic (overused word, but not for Sheila Jordan), inimitable, and peerless. Samara Joy belongs to another realm of singing. But I won't belabor this. She is just splendid, a true pleasure to listen to.
When I listen to the great singers of old, I somwtimes wonder what it must have been like to been there when they first became known aa their star began to rise. Now I know. This is fine singing. Lovely contralto. Beautiful timbre. Pure quality.
I just heard about you and you have a fan for life your voice is extraordinary so smooth so elegant so classy and to be so young I salute you beautiful woman may God continue to bless you and you touch the hearts of all the old timers that enjoy this kind of music as myself at 65 brought up as a young girl listening to this kind of music thank you for appreciating that kind of music
I just found you this week. My God! Such a tremendous voice. You reminds ne Sarah Vaughan, my favourite jazz singer. God bless you, Samantha. Don't let us without your songs!
Just when I thought there would never be another Ella, Sarah, Carmen and all the other greats that this magnificent voice is channeling. So nice to hear someone with a great voice. Keep it up and you will go far. I'll be promoting her wherever I go.
I already am? Have you heard of this Phenomenal Jazz Vocalist named Samara Joy? You’ve got to hear her! And so on and so on; even to the point of pulling out my phone and giving them a listen. 😊
She’s the Best of the Best, I’ve been following her for awhile now. Today she made it on the Jennifer Hudson’s show, her beautiful voice is Great And she’s about to become a Grammy 2023 winner in jazz singing you go Samara Joy💕💕💕
Samara, prepare for amazing things, you are amazing!!! I don't even understand how you have had time to learn all this beauty and pure jazz soul.💜 I am expecting a meteoric rise to fame and I hope you will honour us in Ireland 💚 with your Ella like talent, one day soon. You are Truly Blessed! 💗🇨🇮🍀👏🎼
Hopefully this young will refrese the jazz genre. Sara, Ella, Dinah, Nancy were song 🎵 stylists taking standards, verses and all, making them their own. "Guess Who I Saw Today" is a perfect example! You go girl 👏!!
A friend from England sent one of your videos to me in California. I was stunned. It is like Sara Vaughn and Ella combined. I am SO impressed. Love it love it love it ! Subscribed !
Meant to add, you're up there with Sarah at her best. Love your voice Samara Joy. I left the Georgetown DC scene 35 years ago because of afraid somebody might shoot the piano player, me! Anyway I love voice, and you are beautiful. I'm Italian, German, English, French, and Spanish + this and that; I'm a mut. I need the help of a great singer to get me going again. I'm now almost 65 and miss the days when I played in clubs; 1974-1991. Why just those yrs.? My job zapped playing because of the hours. Now I'm retired and hungry to play, and want to build my skills & fingers back. Jazz: I still feel in my bone.
Every time I try to pick a fav, I can’t. Thank you Samara Joy! So glad you’re here. This right here has me in tears. I watch her interviews. She does not understand what she has done, but that’s ok. Takes me right back to my childhood. A time never to be repeated until now. Wow ❤

You can big her up whilst not tearing anyone else down.
I just love this young woman...so soft ,good listen music like back in the days. Keep this music alive. AMEN
I was about to die from an overdose in my apartment in Miami all alone after so many different drugs…I went to grab my phone and I couldn’t even see what I pressed and out of no where UA-cam started and this song played.

Personally one of the greatest of all times.and she is only 22
National treasure!!! Became a fan on the first note.
National ? We like that here in Europe, thats international.
Straight outta the fabulous era of Ella, Gloria and Sara! Awesome! Refreshing and impressive!
Let's not forget Dinah Washington.
And Ms. Billie Holiday💕
Who is Gloria?
@@tbam994 Gloria Lynn, look her up.
Samara, you are honestly remarkable! Your voice blows me away, and I hope you blow up. What a star you are!
Isn’t she wonderful?! Clear tones, elegant phrasing, and she knows how to treat a good melody.
LOVE HER! There is such pleasure in hearing a really good jazz voice. Tears brimming. Went back to listen to an old favorite, Etta Jones, for quality check. Yep, no question: this young lady is the REAL thing. We needed this.
Guard her America...... keep her as pure as she is in this video...
Her voice is so classic and pure! 😩🤎 I feel like I should be watching this on a black and white t.v.
She does has a lovely b & w video.
I keep returning to watch and listen to that one also. I'm blown away by her talent!!
What a gift she is!!
Her voice is amazing.
Chile, ain't it though?!?! ❤❤❤😍😍😍
"Nina Simone"... Samara's voice is absolutely breathtaking!💯
Where in the world did this young lady come from with her lovely, lilting voide reminiscent of a young and present day Sarah Vaughn or Ella Fitzgerald. Well, we may get only one in a century, and I'm so glad I have been able to witness both in my lifetime. What about anyone else out there? Loving and loving and loving it!
She hails from The Bronx!😂
I can’t stop listening to Samara! God given gift! I’m so glad my friends and I went to see her in Scottsdale! Can’t wait for her to come back to Arizona!
Wow, simply WOW, and a little over a year later, you took home a couple of Grammy awards.
My fellow Bronx native was born to do this!!! You have me listening to you on replay! Talented Family ❤
I think everything I want to say about this lady's singing has been already said. Her tonal qualities are so reminiscent of the late great Ella Fitzgerald.
Beautiful voice! Reminds me of the rich, velveted Sarah’s voice! Thank you
This young lady & her vocal texture, range & genre of music is Simply AMAZING! Her voice takes you away to a calm, peaceful place 🎼🎵🎙🎤
Your voice leaveS me speechless . All i can say is WOW WOW WOW.
This young, black, beautiful talent is what the world needs. Keep singing Samara, you bring JOY to the world with your gift. God has blessed you tremendously!
Wow how Samara caught that sneaky modulation near the end was incredible
Samara’s Voice Is Definitely A Gift From God!
Unbelievable. So young yet so mature vocally. Brilliant 👌🏿
