- "(Won't You Come Home) Bill Bailey", originally titled "Bill Bailey, Won't You Please Come Home?" is a popular song published in 1902. It is commonly referred to as simply "Bill Bailey".
Its words and music were written by Hughie Cannon (1877--1912), an American songwriter and pianist. It is still a standard with Dixieland and traditional jazz bands. The simple 32-bar chord sequence of its chorus also underpins many other tunes played mainly by jazz bands, such as "Over the Waves", "Washington and Lee Swing", "Bourbon Street Parade", "My Little Girl", and the final themes of "Tiger Rag" and "The Beer Barrel Polka".
Sarah Lois Vaughan (March 27, 1924 -- April 3, 1990) was an American jazz singer, described by Scott Yanow as having "one of the most wondrous voices of the 20th century." Nicknamed "Sailor" (for her salty speech), "Sassy" and "The Divine One", Sarah Vaughan was a Grammy Award winner. The National Endowment for the Arts bestowed upon her its "highest honor in jazz", the NEA Jazz Masters Award, in 1989.
Vaughan was born in Newark, New Jersey, to Asbury "Jake" Vaughan, a carpenter by trade who played guitar and piano, and Ada Vaughan, a laundress who sang in the church choir, migrants from Virginia. The Vaughans lived in a house on Brunswick Street in Newark for Vaughan's entire childhood. Jake was deeply religious. The family was active in New Mount Zion Baptist Church at 186 Thomas Street. Vaughan began piano lessons at the age of seven, sang in the church choir, and played piano for rehearsals and services. Sarah and her family were all registered Democrats.
She developed an early love for popular music. In the 1930s, she frequently saw local and touring bands at the Montgomery Street Skating Rink. By her mid-teens, she ventured illegally into Newark's night clubs and performed as a pianist and singer at the Piccadilly Club and at Newark Airport.
Vaughan attended East Side High School, then transferred to Newark Arts High School, which opened in 1931. As her nocturnal adventures as a performer overtook her academic pursuits, she dropped out of high school during her junior year to concentrate more fully on her music.
In 1989, Vaughan's health began to decline, although she rarely revealed any hints of this in her performances. She canceled a series of engagements in Europe in 1989, citing the need to seek treatment for arthritis of the hand, although she was able to complete a series of performances in Japan. During a run at New York's Blue Note Jazz Club in 1989, she was diagnosed with lung cancer and was too ill to finish the last day of what would turn out to be her final series of public performances.
Vaughan returned to her home in California to begin chemotherapy and spent her final months alternating stays in the hospital and at home. She grew weary of the struggle and demanded to be taken home, where at the age of 66 she died on the evening of April 3, 1990, while watching Laker Girls, a television movie featuring her daughter.
Her funeral was held at Mount Zion Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey. Following the ceremony, a horse-drawn carriage transported her body to Glendale Cemetery, Bloomfield.
Sarah's accompanied by Kirk Stuart (piano), Charles "Buster" Williams (bass), and Georges Hughes (drums). Recorded in Sweden, 1964. (Mercury Records)

The "Devine Miss Sarah" one of a kind.
I love Sarah Vaughan.
One of my favorite Live performances from Sarah! Loved this much. You can tell she really enjoyed performing this song. And, Ah, the response from the audience at the end really touched her. I sing too and can understand when you are in zone with the audience: there is almost nothing better.
one of the legendary voice in Jazz
one of the legendary voices ever.
Sarah Vaughan SWEET!
Wow. Sarah sang so many choruses of “Bill Bailey” that he finally went home. 😅
I love that Dick van dyke show joke
Bill must be insane.
Thank you so much for your great channel. I really appreciate your notes because I always want to know who's on piano and the rest too, but the pianist is a priority for me.
I got to see Sarah Vaughn live around 1979 when I was about 10 years old and although it was beyond me I did enjoy the concert. And what was too much for me to understand at that time there was something that made me take a mental picture with all my senses because I knew someday it would be of great value to me. The jazz concerts my father took me to were hard because I was so young had ADHD and also my father drank and I never knew where the drink was going to take him. So there was alot going on for me, this was a year or two after my mother passed and I was my father's best friend and confident. But whether it was Sarah Vaughn, Gerry Mulligan, or Dizzy Gillespie I knew I was witnessing something great and one day I'd want to remember the moment.
I see clips of Sarah on tour around that time and it must be the same tour different cities because the way she's dressed and the song selection is very familiar. I'm proud to see my mental snap shots are reliable.
love her mighty
Yesssss!!!
eu amo essa mulher 😍
amazing!
Una extraterrestre del Swing y la Voz .
She’ll not only “do the cookin’,” she is COOKIN’!
Id stand up after that one
Your not Swedish, they were a pretty reserved bunch and hard to get them swinging along.
This Sarah Vaughn Live from Sweden 1964 series of videos is from a single concert performance but I'd like to know what the occasion was as in what was the intent of the filming besides the obvious being to entertain folks. For airing on tv in that country? Like...what was the name of the program? This is priceless footage! If it's not on dvd for the public then it should be. And it's so real! No special television production about it. Real musicians and singer performing LIVE. No lip syncing. Thanks for the uploads!
God! Ella knew how to get everything out of a song without over singing!
TENA DE *THE FIVE PENNIES* EXCELENTE!
The pianist is swinging
Come thru, Sassy!
Bit of a dry audience, isn't it :) And she looked so beautiful in this dress
im comung
Fi
Not characteristic Sarah number but man you got to do SOMETHING to warm up those Swedes - notoriously restrained and 'polite' audiences. In the end you actually some of them smiling a little!
