| INDEED! Cross yourself and bow to the talent. |
| Billy Ecstine spoke ... ( 4 months ago by allitwantedbythunder) |
| Billy Ecstine spoke about it in a filmed interview and said pretty much the same thing bcperry1962 says: he didn't want to have to remember her in that condition. |
| Well I understand, ... ( 4 months ago by nuttinbutchurch) |
| Well I understand, but how sad. We need to remember it's not about US during those times it's about the one dying! Can you imagine how Sarah must have felt. It's funny I still have the video of this clip above; I must watch this a couple times of year, the entire show was beyond great. Sarah is my favorite singer of all time, but I'll never watch this clip agian without feeling that...thing...thinking how she must have felt. Then again...they both at peace now and probably singing in the clouds. |

| Those were the greats of the past. They will always live in our memories and videos. Let's continue to educate today's youth about these great legacies. Thanks again. |

| Wow she was still great in 1985, and a live performance to boot. |

| She was 71 years old here... Wow! Speechless |
| Unfortunately, ... ( 4 months ago by NeosoulATL) |
| Unfortunately, Sarah didn't live to 71. She passed at 66. |
| Wow! She sounds ... ( 3 months ago by kellnergram) |
| Wow! She sounds soooo good, so really alive, for being dead 5 years at the time of this recording. |
| She's not ... ( 3 months ago by Jolene8) |
| She's not celebrated enough. In our history books (in America) we hear only about Ella Fitzgerald and a few other Jazz/Blues great of the African American world. Nothing about Sarah Vaughan. When I first heard her several years ago, I thought it was a great crime. I still do... Sarah LIVES! |

| Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! For this. |
| I am so on your ... ( 3 months ago by Jar1red) |
| I am so on your side with this I feel like she didnt get all the praise because she dark skinned unlike Ella who was lightskin but that was how it was den |
| Sarah is in better ... ( 3 months ago by stevevandien) |
| Sarah is in better vocal shape here, but I love 'em both -- and B still looks DAMN good:) -- |
| I don't think it ... ( 3 months ago by Jolene8) |
| I don't think it had anything to do with the color of these womens skin. Although Ella was in love and did have a semi quiet relationship with a Caucasian man that was seen but not spoken about. He did help propell her into a sort of permanant history. But I feel the lack of attention by the Big record companies left Sarah in the back seat. Due to Ella's connections she had someone to speak/fight for her during those times. |
| Sarah Vaughan the ... ( 3 months ago by Junkay2) |
| Sarah Vaughan the 1942 "amateur" winner? Singing like that, there was nothing amateurish about that performance! |
| Two talents of such ... ( 3 months ago by waynebrasler) |
| Two talents of such stature you really can't find anyone left to compare with them. They both left remarkable recording libraries. Both recorded at length for Mercury and then Roulette; Billy then did a large body of work for Motown which has largely been unheralded but was surprisingly excellent. Only Motown would have given him a song titled "My Way" but not THAT "My Way." |
| don't get me wrong ... ( 2 months ago by djjazzyjam) |
| don't get me wrong i love ella and billie but sarah has always been my favorite. no one sings like her |
| Greatest singer ... ( 2 months ago by winpointmedia) |
| Greatest singer ever..ever! In her prime no one interpreted music like the Divine One. |
| She was 61 here ( 1 month ago by Gregg30) |
| She was 61 here |
| I totally agree! ( 1 month ago by Gregg30) |
| I totally agree! |
| Sarah is...but ... ( 1 month ago by jaflemin) |
| Sarah is...but remember Billy was some years older than she (about 13). Also, Sarah died in great vocal shape...her chords weathered the ravages of time and excess astonishingly well. Billy's voice sounds even lower here than in his younger years, and in a way even better...I have a great recorded version of "As Time Goes By" of his from later years that I adore...the vibrato intervals are true chasms, but he's as romantic and seductive as ever, just as he is here! Real talent is timeless :) |
| Ella was brown, not ... ( 1 month ago by jaflemin) |
| Ella was brown, not light-skinned...further, how do you explain the relative obscurity of Carmen McRae and genuine invisibility of Etta Jones? Sarah was gorgeous, dark-skinned or no, as a young woman though her lifestyle quickly began to show in her body. I've read about Ella's failed relationship with the Norwegian...I think Ella was the most marketable and commercially successful largely because she was simply the most versatile. |
| I can agree with ... ( 1 month ago by Jar1red) |
| I can agree with you both..I just love Sarah and feel like the World should kno of her voice...not many young people 2day know of her..But that will change soon I hope |
| yeah one of the ... ( 2 weeks ago by XforeverlongingX) |
| yeah one of the coolest parts is that even in her later years she still blew competition out of the water! |
