Sassy Sarah Vaughan: Still Shining 60 Years Later
The year was 1947 when Sarah Vaughan was bestowed the "Best New Star Award" by Esquire magazine. Exactly 60 years later, Sassy or the Divine One, as she was known by fans, has yet to stop shining.
We're likely to hear Sarah's remarkable voice in coffeehouses or as soothing background music in television commercials but rarely do we get to see just what made Sarah divine and kept audiences clamoring for more. So without further ado...
Enjoy this 1955 rendition of "Perdido."

beautiful voice you dont really get to see her, only old sometimes.
Aw man she kind of looks like my auntie Debbie!!! She sounds good and really jazzy. I never heard of her music before.
I really like this blog!
My wife is a huge Sarah Vaughan Fan. She's gonna love this video.
This can't have effect in actual fact, that is exactly what I consider.
