Sarah Vaughan
Show Description:
Musicians and audiences alike marveled at the ease with which Sarah
Vaughan moved up and down her four-octave range, turning even the most
mundane songs into operatic riffs. Her sound possessed a full-bodied
purity, with an approach not unlike an instrumentalist. Early in her
career, "Sassy" cut her teeth on bebop, performing with Billy Eckstine,
Dizzy Gillespie, and Charlie Parker. She also ventured into the pop
world, recording hits such as "Broken-hearted Melody," "Day-O," and
"Send in the Clowns."
