Treat yo' self. She will hear her name read as a nominee during the upcoming Grammy Awards show. She's 23. She studied jazz in New York, She got her first booking at a club in the West Village. Her smooth voice and silky style call to mind great jazz vocalists such as Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald and Carmen McRae. Her name is Samara Joy -- and I hope she's a Grammy winner this coming Sunday. Take some time and listen to this sensational new singer do "Can't Get Out of This Mood.
Let's keep the jazz session going. Here is Sarah Vaughan's recording of "Can't Get Out of This Mood."
Here is Ella Fitzgerald doing Irving Berlin's "It's a Lovely Day Today."
Here is Carmen McRae singing a Cole Porter song that Fred Astaire and Eleanor Powell danced to in the classic MGM musical, BROADWAY MELODY OF 1940. It's "I Concentrate on You."Thanks for sharing this jazz joy -- especially Ms. Samara Joy.
