This is a WOMAN!!! No one touches her elegance, poise, sophistication. Even before she opens her mouth, hers is a powerful presence. I will forever be awestruck by Nancy Wilson!

Ms Nancy at her best...... Your greatest Fan

This magnificent viewing of Nancy Wilson reinforces how much I have enjoyed her music and seeing her live. She was really a remarkable singer and classy.

Any song anytime the Queen of Music Miss Nancy Wilson!

So thankful that Bill Cosby introduced my generation to Nancy Wilson ... no-one teaches these kids today anything about music.

The great Nancy Wilson

One of the last authentic singers! She was terrific!

Nancy Wilson´s mannerisms and facial expressions go along beautifully with her interpretation, which is so intense and sooo sublime.. What a fabulous performance, what a great star !!!

I look at Ms. Wilson and recall how as a teenager my sister and I were often told we looked like Ms. Wilson. I think it was in the hair and our little brown skins. Just a couple of weeks ago a gentleman who used to be a stage manager for Ms. Wilson in New York stopped me and said "Honey you look exactly like Ms. Wilson". I blushed. I'm only moderate attractive I guess but to hear a comparison to this great woman all my life, I am pretty much proud. She was and is so elegant. : )

@@merianpeterson5073 .... I'm 71 years old now. One of the first albums I bought at 13 years old was Nancy Wilson. I would sit on the arm of the armchair next to our combo record player and radio and sing all of her songs with her. Over and over again. Her voice encompassed it ALL. I wanted to be her when I grew up. Not a nurse, not a secretary...but Nancy Wilson! Being a white girl that was a tough one, but never thought about it. Plus....I couldn't sing a note that didn't send shivers down my neighbors spines (and my poor tolerant mother!). I guess the point is, I adored her and at my age of 13 she impressed me with cool, calm and beauty. I loved "singing" with her! Miss you, singing partner❤

Saw her in Nashville twice! Once at the Ryman and once at The Grand Ole Opry House! Both performances absolutely amazing! She even accepted a rose from me while on stage and shook my hand! A moment I will cherish for my lifetime!!

Breathtaking....love ya Nancy.

We lost our beautiful Nancy on 12-13-18. Makes me so sad because she was a favorite of mine for so many years! She called herself a "song stylist" and she was so right, she had a style like no other, simply inimitable! RIP, Nancy, and sleep warm. We will miss you. (Thankfully we have her recordings and videos like this.) Andy is gone now too. There were some superb talents back in that era, that were incomparable, and NO one has come forward who is as good or memorable as they were. Music (if you can call it that) by popular singers today, is mostly noise with a banging beat) but fortunately, we have recordings with which to remember them and still admire them.

She just fantastic. I have always been so awed by that phenomenal voice. Just like when she sang My One And Only Love, hearing her sing this song gives me the chills! By the way, Chaka Khan also sang this song, a little differently, but also very well.

I love Nancy Wilson. She is such a wonderful singer. She also is a great actress. I once saw her play a role on Hawaii Five O and she was great! What a wonderful voice and what a wonderful person. My very best, Nancy!

One of my favorite singers of all times...~

WOW ....thats all I can say ....WOW!!!!

She's becoming one of my favorite jazz singers, up there with Ella and Dinah. Andy Williams was so handsome too 😍

Remarkable! I truly missed this era of when television was a real source of entertainment.

I actually have this song by many different artists and this is the best. I think Nancy is one of the best artists of all time

so beautiful and classy..... she si a great role model if more of our young people would simply watch and learn

OMG, I am having myself a Nancy WIlson day! I keep finding one great video after another. She is just oneof my favorites, and she takes me to an emotional place that I have not been to in a long time. You know what? It feels good. I am just going to chill when I get home and play some Nancy Wilson albums and just enjoy the rare relaxing moment.

I'm LOVING that voice and listening to A REAL AMERICAN IDOL! Thanks for this clip,a beautiful song sung by a beautiful lady!

Now that's what you call a beehive. I've seen Nancy perform live many times, always sounds as elegant and beautiful as she looks.

Nancy, Nancy, Nancy!.....Breathtaking!

Beautiful...just beautiful...all the way around!!!

FLAWLESS!💕

Pure Elegance, Grace and Most of All Talent

I absolutely love this song, no matter who does it! This is a beautiful lady doing a beautiful song like no other woman can!

just masterful. RIP Miss Nancy

This is too beautiful for any comment....

I LOVE HER VOICE and everything else about her.

There can only be one woman who can sing a song and make it her own Miss Nanci Wilson

HELL YEAH!! Aint it great just to see some one do it with just the voice and their presence.

She is soooo classy. I'm 23 and I love this kind of music.

Thank God for Ms. Fancy Wilson, she always n a class of her own. Admired her style of singing n she is one of our LIVING TREASURE

Her record with Canonball Adderley and an allstar rythm section is highly recommended!! She sings so beautiful in her own original way...

A Timeless Classic by a Timeless Beauty!!!

Not just a great singer...A real musician!

From the album "Tender Loving Care". If you can find this album, I assure you that you will not be disappointed. You will want to be with someone special,sharing a bit of your favorite wine. Nancy's voice will take you to places you will want to visit over and over again. She is simply the best.

I have just discovered this woman. Love her!!!!!!!!

Wow, talent and grace have gone the way of the dinosaur.....extinct!! Thanks for the memories, KZread and Ms. Wilson.

loved it loved it really a good song smiled during the entire song

Yep, she's one of a kind.

This was just beautiful ! I love this song.

Pefection.

SANG , NANCY…JUST SANG! Wow!!!! I thought Chaka’s version was the definitive version but you both share that for me ,..wow

I concur... The "Tender Loving Care" album is a must have!!! Sweet Nancy Wilson!

simply flawess !

BEAUTIFUL!!!!

I have it on CD and on vinyl..The arranger/conductor for that album is the great Billy May...It sounds like they're playing the arrangement from the recording in this clip...

the young ppl of 2day, get so twisted...the ones that paved the way for todays artist, they put at the back...ms. wilson, is the one that todays artist copy. she has retired, and that God she's still here. she celebrated 81, and it would be so nice, if we can do some kind of celebration to let the magnificent lady know, just how much she means to us. we won't see the likes of her again. love her madly. this lady got MORE class in her little finger n style, then the ones today. ms. fancy nancy

Now this is a performance. Take note! I'm not calling no names. Tee hee.

beautiful

WOW !!!!

On Nancy Wilson's performance of Don't Go To Strangers Remember, Nancy Wilson is the next step in the progression of this art, not to be compared with her predecessors... Ella, Sarah, Day, Christy, Jackson, Sinatra, Como, Exstine, etc. nor with those who followed. It's always the Unfathomable voice of God expressing... blending many preceding expressions, insights, tributes of previous and contemporary expressions. Disconnecting, preferring, comparing singers, musicians, dancers, artists...

great performance

THANKS !

Despite the fact that jazz isn't what it use to be, there are some good singers out there; although none of them come close to a quality like this.

she's a CHARMETTE... so very charming...a lady she is indeed!

@kives1985 LOL! You got me on that one. I guess there's something for everyone. Just glad Nancy took the more "sophisticated" path. :)

Enjoyed!

Vivica Fox should portray her in a movie...i love Nancy Wilson's music...

OK? Class & sass! :)

Nancy Wilson, is the great female "Song Stylist"

Eyes lit up.

Her voice is still this good in concert.

She was the Diana Ross of the jazz music world. I always felt if it wasn't for this lady, the rock and roll generation wouldn't have known about jazz singing/music or easy listening music. She was a big star in that genre Sad that today this kind of music is considered elevator music

@lalamama4real TALENT WHAT'S THAT? OH HER SINGING VOICE. NO CARES FOR THAT ANY LONGER.

beautiful, classy, talented.

@garnerean AMEN! Thank you.

The Chaka Khan version of this is also very good.

Have Mercy!

Nancy is one of the greatest singers of all time, and I truly love watching this video, she is so sexy and classy. If you enjoy music like this you should also check out Anita O'day "that old feeling" that is another great performance.

She sounds like a Cannonball Adderley alto sax solo. There's a clear influence as Cannon discovered her and she sang with his band for years.

Damn she was fine. So jazzy!

@zane5153 You are welcome, Etta was one of the great singers indeed! That's not to say anything disparaging of Nancy Wilson, of course.

So true! Whatever happened to it?

This was a time when performers respected their fans dollars. They brought Talent; stage presence and were impeccably dressed. Ms. Wilson, wasn't just a woman she was a lady. I'm done!

@bummedoutforlife there is no comparison between the soulful beauty and expression of a great vocalist like Nancy Wilson and the garbage that spews out of the mouths of the low life hip hop/rap generation.

Always elegant, classy and sexy!

jesus... look at those sexy eyebrowes... she is THE woman!

Etta Jones owns this song.

Wow! No gyrations or "rump shakers", and she's fully clothed. I guess she's gotten by all these years on just.....TALENT?!! Maybe sometimes that's all it takes to become an industry icon.

True. Most Folk were naturally then back then is probably what I shoulda said. I've always thought Nancy was a fox. I just never seen her that small and that was a shock. Even in the early 90's people were regular lookin thick or slim. Nowadays hell I don't know what to say.

Call the fire department somebody, cuz she just set off a three alarm burn. Loved the way she worked those stairs to the stage. Sorry, but way too many women today don't seem to understand it doesn't make you less of a women if you're a lady.

Hold on to Peace

@68lincoln whoa whoa not all hiphop is bad

to;Erlock21,,,this not about that stuff,,this about all of us trying to escape that stuff,,,music is a great escape,,lets enjoy

but... times have changed I agree that voice should be enough but during these times this was the norm the way she is dressed in the vid is the way that was revered by the media unlike the norms of today so yes lets go back to the days when talent mattered.

Do you have the album, and if so, who was the arranger/conductor. It sounds a lot like Oliver Nelson, but that might be wishful thinking on my part.

See, this is the problem with people who don't have adequate historical or artistic reference points in order to build INFORMED opinions to make themselves at least appear intelligent. I love her facial expressions, and bummedoutforlife is exactly right; It was normal stage etiquette for the day and singers were trained in how to use their hands, faces, etc. Check out Sarah Vaughn et al to get my drift.

does anyone have the song Joe?

Really a beautiful woman too and in hindsight I wonder whether she could have had an African American'Barbie' doll named after her... the 'Nancy doll', nice thought tho', hmmm!

Ummmmm yeah . . . jazz is much more complicated than R and B. I sing both and jazz is new to my repertoire and I must say . . . it takes much more practice to master the melodies of jazz.

@lalamama4real i know right? nancy wilson got by all this time on talent? the nerve of her! the utter audacity! the unmittigated gall! lmao...i SO agree with you lalamama.....i'm sorry but beyonce, ciara, rihanna, keyshia cole, just to name a few "contemporaries" out here today, need not take a page from miss nancy wilson, they need to have their butts in CLASS and have nancy school these girls on what it means to have talent, poise, class, and sophistication.

@vova47 Thanks for turning me on to Etta Jones! I love miss Nancy Wilson but Etta's version is wow!

She is Jackie Wilson sister

They are still out there, lots of them! Men and women. Mostly performing in black churches. A pity they are not showcased by mainstream media... isn't the internet supposed to be the equalizer for such errors?

oldschool_90s yes sweetie I did say that, you're most obviously younger than myself and are not from black community so you don't know from where I speak...so let me educate you on why I said that...in most black communities during the 40s to the 70s because of racism black people weren't allowed to go too far outside our community without some problems so we learn to socialize and entertain within our environment such as; in churches, in your neighborhood (on your own block), local bars lounge and night clubs etc. In everybody family someone could either sing, dance, play an instrument etc or something that would detract them from every day racist oppression that the black people was experiencing (and still is) at the time. Having said that if one wanted to be a singer they usually started in church singing in choirs and if you were any good you sang lead if not you sang back up. Most dowop groups (men mostly ) started singing on the corner in there neighborhoods, girls usually sang in the school fire towers, their homes, and churches, it wasn't lady like to sing on the corner most parents didn't allow it. So many social events would have variety of different contests and singing was one of them and if a group didn't have style ,flare, fashion and a great lead singer you got booed and laugh off the stage the experience is so devastating that all singing groups made sure they pick the best person in their group to lead, that's just how it was and many singing acts got discovered by having a great lead singer. So the 'Supremes' came from that environment like most black entertainers of that time they learned their craft in the black community and we had high standards for those who wanted to entertain their own people in their own community that standard for excellence was important for black people because we were constantly being told in the media, in everyday life that we were worthless beings, our existence didn't matter, who we were as a race was worthy of extinction so we express and showed our excellent in song, dance, athleticism, science, etc you name it we try to be the best that's why people all over the world copy us, why would they do that if black people was worthless. So that's the standard we stand by..Ms Ross is and entertainer but she's no singer not by black people standards, notice how many non black people emulate her singing abilities and how many non black people emulate Aretha Franklin you see what I'm saying, even non black people know the difference....I hope I have explain myself well and answered your question...chow
