There’s something special with the balladeers and jazz artists of the 50s/60s. The quality of their instrument is out of this world - their vocal texture, tone, colour, phrasing - just mesmerising!!

She caresses every word and her tone is so seductive.

Nancy is the most emotive singer I've ever come across. I feel every word she sings....

One incredible singer consistently under appreciated by critics but rarely ever by her fans. She is mesmerizing and just like magic you don't quite realize you've come under her spell. Miss Wilson is the best.

How is this even live? What élégance! What beauty! What soul! Mind blowing!

That she was never granted the Kennedy Center Honor remains a tremendous oversight…

Her voice was as smooth as silk..That voice that voice

This was music. These were ladies. That was a voice with elegance and charm. I am so glad I was born in those times when art was real. I daily thank God for not being born and growing up in these present times. Thank you Ella Fitzgerald, thank you Dinah Washington, thank you Doris Day, thank you Betty Carter, thank you Etta Jones, thank you Julie London, thank you Anita O'Day and thank you to the lovely and unique Nancy Wilson for showing us the light of an artform pure and deep. Those days are gone folks....pack your stuff, the present is just filled with boiled shit pretending to be artists. When I play this music in my home.....even my dog recognizes the difference between right and wrong when it comes to the music. Isn't that sad?

The definitive version of this song I've listened to them all No One Compares to Nancy

I was fortunate to see her live during one of her last tours at Yoshi's jazz club in Oakland CA. She sang standards as well as great interpretations of "I can't make you love me" (Bonnie Raitt) and "Don't ask my neighbor" (The Emotions). She would grab a good song from any source.

Nancy Ann lived here and passed away here in Pioneer Town California. Drove a 6-year-old infinity she bought new of course ... and was so down to earth and lovable. In her final days she was on dialysis just like her late husband. But too weak to work anymore (and surely didn't need to!) she rounded up her band and flew out to Ohio to do one last public appearance for her alma mater. with her therapy arm stylishly draped in the black silk that matched her gown, she bravely greeted the audience and said if not for Cannon Ball Adderly and God, she would have stayed in pre-med . She sang her first number one hit. "and you don't know...how glad I am" and as the band kept playing..sang a few extra verses, looked at the mic she was holding and gently laid it down.......clearly signaling the final note to her career. That was it! she flew home and gracefully endured the agony of advanced renal failure at home with her loving cats and her audiobooks. She was a DEVOUT child of God and lived a Godly life.

OMG! OMG! OMG! The woman is beyond superlatives. So glad I clicked on the link.

Hearing her reminds me of being a little girl in the sixties and my parents having music on the hifi 😊. We were so blessed by Ms. Wilson and so many other incredible artists. Thank you 🙏🏻😌❤️

Shes so beautiful--everything

That guitar playing man....💜💖💜 And the violins chasing after....💖

Damn. Smooooth and without a hint of a flaw. She joins Billie Holiday and Nat King Cole as the best interpreters of this truly classic song. 𝘋𝘢𝘮𝘯.

I cannot imagine any man sitting in that audience during that passionate performance who didn't absolutely fall in love with Nancy Wilson that night.

nancy never got the recognition she deserved,never

One of the legendary soloists of our time. Love her style!!!!

Legend classic song

I felt like I didn’t exhale until the last note because she took my breath away. I’m so grateful that I took the opportunities to see her.

Best version by far ❤️

My favourite jazz song of all time 😭🥰 And I only ever want to hear her sing it ONLY! 😍 She’s incredible. Thank you for sharing ❤️

Yes, Nancy so perfect and beautiful!! I can listen to this over and over!

Barack Obama paid tribute to her on his Best of 2018 List - "And in honor of one of the great jazz singers of all time, who died this year, a classic album: The Great American Songbook by Nancy Wilson". She was one of the greats.

I really do not have the words to describe how rich - she just makes this song come alive

She owns this song.❤ So exquisite. ....

Solid gold baby! Just close your eyes and listen.

What a beauty. Absolute heaven.❤

Class, beauty, intensity, and chops.

I can’t stop watching this . Man she is phenomenal

God I wish I was in that audience! What a treat it would be just immersing with all that vocal quality. Mesmerizing!!! ❤

It will never be better then her. Continue resting in paradise Mrs. Wilson. Job well done.

Her voice is amazing!

You and your boo, what else is needed!!! No one does it like Nancy

A master of the art & science of singing...for real.

Superb doesn't touch her gift.😍

i just keep watching it over and over, for about three years now lol

Often play this Ray Noble classic at home on my piano and Nancy always accompanies me.

Stunningly beautiful

OMG this girl gives me goosebumps, so rare to find this time in the music industry ... bravo!

I just love her so much, I will definitely miss her. She has been my Favorite since i was 10yrs old and I'm 69 now .

One of the greatest singers in my lifetime! I love her!

Her voice has always had such a beautiful classic sound. Just love it!

I was fortunate enough to see her at the Clearwater jazz festival in the 80’s. She was like watching a statuesque goddess flowing with the music and filling every note with great beauty. She was an exquisite lady inside and out. I’ve loved her for decades. Miss her now so much. Blessings to her fans!

her voice is so beautiful i cant

My Favorite! Yes, so underappreciated by critics, but never by fans. She was and is the best. Such a class act and unbelievable voice!

I've attended about 20 Nancy Wilson concerts. I was fortunate to hear her in large venues like the Auditorium Theater in Chicago and very small places . I remember seeing her in a place so small that I could touch her . My seat was that close to the tiny stage. I remember thinking that she must be going through hard times to perform at such a tiny spot. I felt sorry for her but happy for myself because seeing Nancy Wilson in a small , intimate setting was the BEST way to experience her genius.

Old TV: Listening to a great singer create something beautiful New TV: Watching people who can just barely sing, if at all, displaying emotional desperation on competition shows

Glorious !

Flawless performance.

RIP, Sweet Nancy!

Unbeatable talent .

thanks to my folks for listening to this when i was a kid really something special to remember really sweet

Absolutely beautiful song one of my favorites

Wow, what talent, what skill, beautiful.

Good Lord she was beautiful as well as talented.

I can watch this every single day and still be brought to tears from the emotion.

Straight to the heart.. every time!

Thank you Sylvie's Love for reminding me of how much I love Nancy Wilson!

The lady was gifted & highly favored. This recording is perfection.

The Song Stylist. R.I.P to this Legend. 🙌🏽🙏🏽💕

Awesome singer ❤

Amazing. Gorgeous. What a pure talent.

Elegant, intelligent, wonderful and full of grace

I can’t get enough of this version of Ms Nancy.

I just found out about this song couple weeks ago I’m 30years . I absolutely fell in love with her voice . So much emotion 🥰 . This is music ❤❤❤😊

The most gorgeous voice

Wonderful in every aspect.

Timeless music

THE ONLY! Version I can play. The others are nice but this touches differently.

Wow! Beautiful 🙏🏽💖

This song is sung by so many different female artists but Ms. Nancy Wilson is on top.

She sings this song so well.

Perfection...sheer delight❤

A BREATHTAKE VOICE...LOTS, LOTS,LOTS OF CLASS AND CHARME!... UNFORGETABLE MISS WILSON! FOREVER!...

Came here, from of all places, an old Hawaii Five-O episode, in which she was a guest star. Her singing was so spectacular that I had to hear more. I'm surprised that I'd never heard of her before.

Style and grace personified!!!

La amo… en sublime escucharla… con una copa de vino…

Class. Intensity. Beauty.

The beautiful voice of incomparable, Nancy Wilson what more can I say? ❤

Sublime!

so grateful for the many wonderful artists available thru recording

And to think, that was a live performance.

Fancy Nancy Wilson. Love her, she's a goddess

She is magic and I have adored her since 1970.

Absolutely ridiculous level of raw talent and poise. Also such a unique take on the song, and commanding performance for the ages! Wow…

great vocal range and phrasing

Perfection!!!! an icon

Simply divine omg 😩😩🤨

THE very , very, finest of them all----------Miss Nancy --------1964------Saturday Nights on ABC---------arranged by Sid Feller. We thought, music would always be, this good. How could we know or imagine today's wasteland. ???? ----------------MJL< 76 y/o

Never thought anyone could sing "The Very Thought Of You" better than Nat King Cole. But I just found someone who can. This is the very best version with exactly all of the feeling that can be put into this song. I will be listening to Nancy's version of this song over and over again. Bravo Miss Wilson! And thank you Deborah Lynn for posting this priceless video!

3 people who gave a thumbs down wouldn't know a real singer if it bit them in the tail

Good Lord, Good Lord, Good Lordt 🥰

So Magnificent her voice and style the fancy Miss Nancy.. Called her years ago on KBCA 1:05. One of the greatest jazz station in LA

It's hard to describe her career, she didn't get nearly the accolades like other great female singer did.

Omg wow what a voice

I love this song, one of the most beautiful songs ever made.

My favorite version of this song.

Amazing !!! Thanks Miss Wilson .
