"This DVD is such a delight. The musicians on it are totally incredible. The DVD can be watched forever because the perfection of these artists will definitely be difficult to beat."

"sarah vaughan is one of the best at any time ,the only low spot on this otherwise interesting collection is the very poor production of the bessie smith clip it is so bad they look like singing blobs,so dissapointing when the rest of the dvd is so good, I still gave it five stars"
Disappointment

This DVD is a lot less about Sarah, than somethinng else thatI woudn't buy. It has only five songs by Sarah, and skits with Lena Horn, Bessie Smith and acouple of others. Most of the disc consists of nine World War II songs by the International Ssweethearts of Rhythem. Who?

The audio and video are very poor, some in black & white, some in old color.

This product makes me leery about ordering on line if I can't hear or preview it first.
