Sarah Vaughan - Summer Time download song

beautiful song need more artists like this

My octogenarian mother is an alto and sang this to me as a child. She was Miss Liverpool 1952 has flame-red auburn hair and aqua green eyes. Back in the 60s we lived in a bungalow with rose gardens, weeping willows and apple trees, my father a self-made businessman and owner of a chain of shops, so, in many respects, the lyrics are totally apt. Needless to say, their long 15 year marriage was long on the rocks before I, the eldest, was born, and I've a half-sister exactly one month older than me my father sired by his then mistress. My mum says, the trouble was he thought he was Jack Kennedy ! Sarah evokes everything I remember of those happier childhood days, and her classical version is forever engraved on my heart * Love and Peace

what a voice .....THE DIVINE ONE

The best version. Her rich alto voice is incomparable.

Oh my god...this is haunting me. overwhelming....

Oh Sarah Vaughan. What a beautiful voice. I love women who sing low, and boy could she go.

Sarah Vaughan had a powerful voice; you wouldn't know it from her recordings. I heard her in a concert back in 1972. One of the songs she performed was "Summertime"; she sang it her usual way, except this time at the end she lowered her hand with the microphone, kept it at her side and ended with a high note; I calculate it was somewhere in the vicinity of a high Bflat (which is how it is sung by most sopranos). This concert was in a huge theater; I was sitting in the second balcony and her voice just came at you and filled the entire hall, wow! and no mic! I will never forget that experience. She was a genuine soprano. RIP.

her alto actually isn't that low, its because she's a soprano that it sounds low with a gorgeous buzz.

One of the best vocal recordings ever

the most impressive lower register ever in music history

The best version.

The best and academic version

This is amazingly beautiful.

Doggone, but that's a low alto! SV can rock the lower register in a way that Ella couldn't, much as I adore her. Anyway, who cares about range -- this is terrific.

The ultimate version. As smooth as a consulate and baileys.
