A Sarah Vaughan video just for the hell of it (The Devine One in her prime in 1965)

Sass massages the notes on "I can't Give You Anything But Love" beautifully, and even scats a bit. The best version of this standard that I've ever run across.

The video quality isn't the greatest but this 1965 performance, recorded live in Australia is certainly sassy enough to share. Featuring a young Bob James (Fourplay) on piano with Larry Rockwell, bass and Omar Clay, drums.

2. If that's hell ...

send me on down!

A needed break from all the mindless political banter and the world's ills. We'd all be better off attending to such things as the beautiful voice of Ms. Sarah Vaughan (and others), and all the things that nourish our souls.

So thank you.

3. I wore out a 45 with this song back in the late 1950s.

4. Cool.

I didn't know she did pop songs like that.

I love listening to her voice.

Going to check out more on youtube.

5. I love Ella, but there was only one

Sassy Sarah Vaughan. Still my favorite jazz singer. She could sing virtually anyone under the table.
