Aretha’s musicality is out of this world. She can do no wrong
@DrewWasMe7 жыл бұрын
The best. Each artist so different and yet so powerful together. Aretha, showing the world what it is to be Aretha Franklin, a whole new stratosphere to be discovered. Roberta Flack bringing us back to earth with her raw (under-appreciated) talent. Sarah Vaughan, already divine, showing these children how easy it is when you have been given Grace. Sarah's voice is clearly distinguishable throughout in its purity and strength, but notice how she wisely lets the other ladies take the culminate chorus on their own, and dips her head to bow out to their voices. Class. She didn't need to steal the show. Peggy drops in to show everyone that the definition of cool need not be obtained by reaching for the rafters. Greatness abounds and this is a historic capture of these legends!

The way Sarah Vaughan worked that line, "My poor heart is sentimental". That stole the show for me, and that's what Sarah does best. Plus I've never actually seen Aretha give props to another female singer the way she did for Sarah then. I think she knew she was in good company. What a beautiful blend, all the ladies smashed, while showcasing their talents.

What is fascinating to me about this performance is how well these four divas sing together without "stepping on" each others vocal lines. They each solo, and during each solo, the others harmonize and support the soloist, and then they harmonize well during the group choruses. Such skill, grace, and class are rare. Throughout the performance they seem to be enjoying themselves as well. The video and sound quality are not great - probably VHS taped from a broadcast - but the performance is not only historically unique and important, but also artistically satisfying. I'm surprised that this performance has not gotten more publicity over the years.

I have music from them all. Sarah Vaughan got my attention in 1959 with Broken Hearted Melody when I was 15 years old and when I started to explore her music it lead me into jazz. Roberto Flack I saw in concert many years ago with my last wife. At her service I requested that they play "The First Time That I Saw Your Face ", one of my favourite love songs. Have been a fan from when she released "Fever" such a sexy voice. Aretha Franklin was and is one of my favourite singers of all time. What an experience and joy to the ear to hear those 4 voices together. So very glad that I discovered this.
