Sarah Vaughan's Gershwin Melody - A Celestial Voice Beyond Time

 


From Bret "Jazz Video Guy" Primack.

Sarah Vaughan’s voice defies language—operatic in scope, celestial in tone, and fearless in its emotional depth. In this stunning rendition of a Gershwin melody, “The Divine One” transforms the song into something transcendent. With the control of a classical soprano and the soul of a jazz prophet, Vaughan’s vibrato shimmers like candlelight, soars like cathedral bells, and dives deep into emotional terrain few artists dare to explore. She doesn’t just sing—she resurrects. Experience the majesty of a voice that bends time, dismantles melody, and rebuilds it as a living confession. This is more than a performance. It’s a sacred transmission from one of the greatest vocalists who ever lived.

Songs like "I've Been Lonely Too Long", "Mustang Sally" (Sir Mack Rice's song famously recorded by Wilson Pickett), and "People Got to Be Free" all had t...
