What Todd Crawshaw said. I was streaming a jazz broadcast just now that focuses on current jazz. It was on in the background & suddenly I thought I heard Ella & Joe Pass, and thought "well that's strange on this broadcast..." I turned it up & clearly it's not Ella & JP, so I figured it's some singer from the 50s that somehow had flown under my radio. Then the announcer told me who it was, and here I am youtubing all the Samara Joy I can find. Color me WICKEDLY impressed!

[samandyfaison]

This young lady is such a gift to us all!!!! 🎙

[wilber]

WOW! WOW! and WOW! Bee-Ewe-Tea-Foal! What a voice and what vocal artistry! The whole album is TERRIFIC!

[toddcrawshaw]

The parallels between Samara's and Ella's voices are eerie.... this track is beautifully done

[henrikthedj]

How come this only has a few thousand views? It's sensational... A masterpiece! One of my favourite standards...
I've been listening to and playing music my whole life, spent 20 years as a pro DJ... This is some of the best jazz I've ever heard...
By the way, the whole album is extraordinary!

[DaveCorsello]

To me this is reminiscent of Ella and Joe Pass yet totally fresh and original. Samara’s vocal sound and style is unique and beautiful and Pasquale’s taste and virtuosity are incredible.

[mitcharett]

Young, gifted, and Black. Best New Artist at this year's Grammys. Listen to this song and you'll know why.

[ericm]

Wow, Samara Joy is just incredible. I love listening to her, sooo good!

[supergran]

WOW! WOW! WOW! Why has this wonderful singer passed me by until now? What a future she has. And to think she was only about 20 when she recorded this.

[RBartolo]

I now understand how she won the 2019 Sarah Vaughan jazz vocal competition! She dazzles and jazz is in a good place with musicians like Samara Joy...

[charlottelothian]

I grew up with parents who had a big band in Detroit. The big band style of jazz is still my favorite. I was lucky enough to sing with a jazz band for almost 20 years. Samara Joy - You are amazing. Congratulations on winning the Grammy. Your voice is fabulous.

[myriannobrega]

I remember Princess Margaret and Captain Peter 's romance. Eternal love . This was their song!...

[HaroldMalaby]

Special refreshing talent, Thank you as if Mom and Dad were back sitting with me enjoying a meal together. Wow you have put a smile on my face and "Joy" in my heart.

[MichaelAlexander]

What the world needs is more Love and Samara Joy is definitely bringing many of us into higher vibrations to create that Love ❤ that the world needs. What a timely presentation of the miraculous power of the Creator. May Samara continue to be blessed so that we too can continue to receive this blessing. The words! The tone! The Voice! The vocal technique! OMG. #💯

[WilliamMcLaurin-dl]

I get chills when I hear this (instrumental was my dad's favorite). If she can contain that big voice, she's got a great future.

そして今　たそがれ時の紫の夕闇が
僕の心の草原を覆う
空の高みには　小さな星たち
僕らは離れ離れなんだと思い出す
君はあの道をさまよい
遠く離れてしまった
消えることのない歌を僕に残して
恋は今や　昨日の星屑（スターダスト）
過ぎ去りし年月の音楽
時々思う　僕はどれだけ
孤独な夜を過ごしてきたのか
夢見る歌の調べがもたらす幻想
そこで僕はもう一度あなたと共にいる
僕らの恋が始まった頃
キスで気持ちが高まった
でもそれは遠い昔のこと
今　僕の慰めは
あの歌の星屑の中にある
庭の壁のそばで
星が輝くころ
君は僕の腕の中
ナイチンゲールはおとぎ話を語る
バラが花咲く楽園の
けれどむなしい夢
僕の心に　残り続けるのは
僕の星屑のメロディ
繰り返す愛の記憶

[綠度母]

lyrics :
And now, the purple dust of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky, those little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apart
You wander down the lake, and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
The music of the ears gone by

Sometimes, I wonder why I spend
The lonely nights dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss and inspiration
But that was long ago
When now my consolation is in the stardust of a song
Beside a garden wall

When stars are bright, you are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy-tale of paradise where roses grew
Though I dream in vain
In my heart, it will remain
My stardust melody, the memory of love's refrain

[abrahamthomas]

Clear and clean tone, you make singing so personal.

[Barbara-jdlb]

Whirlwind, Samara needs more exposure than just a lounge lounge singer. Calm perfection...so much needed ihee days...❤ it ; push her octaves, she's ready... a glance on a chance uprising. From Canada 🇨🇦

[singsonggirl]

What an arrangement and what a voice!! Exquisite!
