Awww,I grew up on this song. My mom played the organ and would sing this. First song that I learned to play. This is Beautiful.

Sing ma’am!

I'm a fellow jazz musician. I must say this is one of the best interpretations of this song I've ever heard. I find myself coming back to this arrangement pretty often. Great work and good luck to you in all of your endeavors

@@JoannaMajoko I agree I love this so much- your vocals and improv are so cool! An inspiration 👏🏼👏🏼

YOU have the voice, true jazz scat style, and , of course, the personality. Hope that the opportunity presents itself for you to be given a shot; YOU'll nail it manifold! I love you. Diana Reeves is perhaps smiling approvrngly.

100% Beautiful. . .

Wow!

One of my favorite versions of this song. Brilliant singing, awesome band. Right to the point.

Beautiful scatting!!! Great voice! Great combo too! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🎼🎶🎵🎤🎹🥁🎸🎵🎶🎼

Love what she does with the song. Different and refreshingly upbeat, with some great backing and superb scatting.

Can't get enough this ❤

So sweet.

Very NICE!!!

This is my first hearing of this singer. I am impressed.

WOW!

Clear scatting; Great phrasing, enchanting voice. Totally enjoyable experience! Everything seemed to come naturally as opposed to being forced--like some pretenders to the jazz vocal throne. Well done! Keep going, keep going, keep going!

Pure pleasure of listening. It's perfect.

just love it

👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿❤

Amazing!

Amazing version of this awesome tune

Speechless.. so good.

Awesome interpretation of this famous title. Hear it again and again!

Sounds awesome!!..Brightening up my morning here in Perth, WA

great!!

The best! Great rendition

Absolutely brilliant! Well done!

Truly amazing

That's how that should sound. Love it

This is BRILLIANT!!!

spectacular version

Love your impro Joanna!

very cool improvisations ...i realy like it !

Excellent!

so nice to enjoy it.

Wow , the band got into the meaning of that. Great video , thanks!

You have a very soothing quality to your voice. Great rendition!

Bravo !!!

What a voice. I'm working on this song now and this is great

this is incredible !

Wow 😄

like this version!

fantastic! the vocalist is super ;)

OMG Very NICE Voice and impro!!!

Damn, this sounds dope! Scatting is on point too, I'm not often a fan of how some singers try to do the scat thing, but this sounded amazing!

So cool, congrats

Just now discovering this in Japan. Saved to tabs for future reference and inspiration. Very, very nice!

Very impressed to hear something new (about the rendition of this standard) and very well performed by the singer and the whole band. I'm a drummer and I use to play in Palermo, Sicily, Italy, with a trio some fusion and acoustic instrumental jazz. I love the melodic line of this song, and imho I find the most part of its versions as listened on youtube, quite boring. I do sincerely my best compliments for your voice,your interpretation, your professional and punctual scat. I liked too the proper arrangiamento and smooth performance of your partner musicians. 'Ad maiora', Joanna! Eugenio, Gene.

Softly as in a morning sunrise The light of love comes stealing Into a newborn day Flaming with all the glow of sunrise A burning kiss is sealing A vow that all betray For the passions that thrill love And take you high to heaven Are the passions that kill love And let it fall to hell So ends the story Softly as in a morning sunrise The light that gave you glory Will take it all away Softly as in a morning sunrise The light of love comes stealing Into a newborn day Flaming with all the glow of sunrise A burning kiss is sealing A vow that all betray For the passions that thrill love And take you high to heaven Are the passions that kill love And let it fall to hell So ends the story Softly as in a morning sunrise The light that gave you glory Will take it all away Softly as it fades away Softly as it fades away Softly as it fades away Softly as it fades away Перевести на русский

Wonderful singing. I realise the departures from the original lyric are likely to be deliberate. Even so the original lyric seems to me to have enough merit to be worth retaining.

There is no vain taken. I'm sorry I don't seem to understand your comment.

Not happening. First, sing the melody correctly. Then if you're going to improvise, don't just bullshit around the tonality not quite hitting the pitches, actually learn the harmonic structure of the tune and be able to nail the notes you're going for. Watch this: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fmdnrrt8YNGboqQ.html Then, listen to some Chet Baker vocal improvising...

Nice voice, but try singing the song.

Too bad for the lyrics

Beautiful performance
