Your erudition is really amazing !

Thanks Pedro, guess I do adore Sarah and this is only scratching the surface!

Goes to show, an entire show could be done comparing Sarah/ Doris recordings, however, that would exclude many recordings that I'd love others to hear from Miss Vaughan.

Another show I've often thought of for radio is 'There goes that song again' - a bit like we have done here, comparing different recordings of certain songs, maybe one show could deal with one song, or a few songs, in order to give adequate consideration. As mentioned above, I find it fascinating to compare the latin version of 'fly me to the moon' by Doris and the other well known version by Julie London, to the almost classical interpreation by Sarah in 1963, or the very slow and very different version of Sarah's 'My favourite things' to the more well known Julie Andrews' version.

WOW JS, I AM REALLY IMPRESSED.
MY PROBLEM IS TIME CONSTRAINTS. IF I DID THE ALBUMS, THE SHOW WOULD BE MORE THAN 2 HOURS. OUR USUAL SHOWS (2 HOUR ONES ON ONE PERSON) FEATURE "SONGS THAT CHARTED", or in essence, the essence of their career status. Some that you have mentioned are definitely part of the program, but I am afraid that time constraints will not allow. However....if YOU would like to do a show (let's say..SARAH VAUGHAN, TAKE TWO, THE GREAT ALBUMS), i would love it. I have a friend in Baltimore who is writing the script for a show on MOTOWN which will run for 6 hours, three two-hour segments. He is also supplying the cds in mp3 format for the music, and I am supplying the voice for that show. Just a though t.

Jas in line with your second comment, I am working on a series of shows called "SOMEBODY ELSE IS SINGING MY SONG...THE COVER RECORD" in which various interpretations of different songs will be presented. It is something I love to do.

I'm so happy that Doris finally got back to you!!! That is wonderful!
Hopefully she will listen to it live next year.

Mike: - Interesting proposal (thanks) - however I don't think that would be my strength! To quote Doris from the BBC interview in 1989 (referring to being a Marilyn Monroe or Jane Mansfield type) -

"I couldn't possibly do that, well... maybe I could... no, I don't think so, you are what you are..."

Still, I very much look forward to the Sarah program and to the other show, it really is a great idea and I am surprised it has not been done before, it is a very interesting concept, comparing interpretations of different arrangers and song stylists.

Jas...just letting you know..I was serious. If you would like to do a show script
SARAH VAUGHAN/TAKE TWO....THE GREAT ALBUMS
I would be more than happy to offer my expertise provided you do the script (which you practically have done on here) and supply the music (either on cds or on box.net). I would shipshape it for the radio.
