Sarah Vaughan - (You'd Be So) Easy To Love (Roulette Records 1961)

"(You'd Be So) Easy to Love" is a popular song written by Cole Porter for the 1936 film Born to Dance, where it was introduced by Eleanor Powell, James Stewart, and Frances Langford.

After Hours is a 1961 studio album by American jazz singer Sarah Vaughan. This was Vaughan's first album with just guitar and double bass accompaniment, it was followed by 1963's Sarah + 2 in a similar vein.

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded After Hours three stars and said that "the emphasis throughout is exclusively on Sassy's magnificent voice. The program mostly sticks to ballads, with a couple of exceptions...and is a quiet and intimate affair, with Vaughan more subtle than she sometimes was. Despite a lightweight version of "My Favorite Things" that will not remind listeners of John Coltrane, this is an excellent if brief set (34-and-a-half minutes) with some fine jazz singing".

Sarah's accompanied by Mundell Lowe (guitar) and
George Duvivier (double bass). Pictured along with Sarah in video is Richard Davis. Recorded in RKO-Path Studio, New York City, July 18, 1961. (Roulette Records)

You'd be so easy to love

So easy to idolize

All others above

So worth the yearning for

So swell to keep your home fire burning for

We'd be so grand at the game

So carefree together

That it does seem a shame

That you can't see

Your future with me

'Cause you'd be oh, oh, oh

So easy to love


You'd be so easy to love

So easy to idolize

All others above

So worth the yearning for

So swell to keep your home fire burning for

We'd be so grand at the game

So carefree together

That it does seem a shame

That you can't see

Your future with me

'Cause you'd be oh, oh, oh

So easy to love

So worth the yearning for

So swell to keep the home fire burning for


We'd be, we'd be so grand at the game

So carefree together

That it does seem a shame

That you can't see

Your future with me

'Cause you'd be oh

So easy to
Oh so easy to
Ooh-oh so easy to
Oh so easy to
Oh so easy to
Oh so easy to
Ooh so easy to
So easy to love
