Sarah was fabulous. This was done around the year I was born (1957), maybe a little earlier. By time I was a teen ager, she was in her 40's and I wasn't a really big fan. Recently, when I started viewing these clips during her younger days is when I became a devot\ut fan.

This was one of many hit singles for Mercury. Working there she found paradise. She did pop for Mercury and jazz for EmArcy. She got to select the B sides of all her singles and otherwise sang whatever she was given and always made every song 10 times better than it originally was. Both she and Mercury made a fortune from their very fruitful partnership.

Her Columbia and Mercury singles did well, but she actually ended up with very little after her first Mercury deal concluded, unfortunately. This was mostly due to her husband/manager George Treadwell, but many of those albums didn't actually sell well at the time and the label kept steering her back to standards and pop tunes like "Broken Hearted Melody." She probably should have gone to Verve after Mercury -- her former bandmates Bird and Diz were there, as well as Billie and Ella, and Norman Granz took good care of his artists. Sassy's second husband and Roulette ended up screwing her again.

love it!

@JAZZ8507 Believe me, I did a lot of research and finding material isn't easy. IMDB is a good source, and where I found the one clip from a movie. I'm still trying to narrow down where to purchase or have access to some of the other stuff they list.

Wagner is great. Revolutionary. I understand his art but i, personally am not an activist in the "Wagnerian movement". Brahms Chopin pucinni and even handel is great. i guess I can understand ur comment. Sarah, herself, is quite the legend!!!(understatement!!! a mager one)

fctchk that was a naive comment

But saying that classical sigers are shackled to scores is probably a result of you never being exposed to the real beauty of the art. Classical music can be very mechanical if interpreted by "musicians" and not "artists. Not many classical singers have broken that stereotype. But the few ones that have served so much more to the art of sining that any contemporary, pop, or jazz singer ever could.

dont get me wrong its a great song and she's amazing. But do you really know anything about the art of classical music? really? If so you wouldnt of made such a comment. but hey w/e right? cause im just testing out my vocabulary so what i say MUST be completely irrelevant.
