Synopsis

Amazon.com
Newark, New Jersey native Sarah Vaughan possessed one of the greatest voices in jazz, an instrument of operatic range. A child prodigy, she was featured singer and organist in Newark's Mt. Zion Baptist Church. She won the amateur night contest at the Apollo Theater in Harlem in 1942, and was singing with the Billy Eckstine band by 1943. Vaughan recorded with Dizzy Gillespie in 1946. By the end of the decade she was famous; 16 Most Requested Songs reflects Columbia's efforts to package her as a pop act. The best moments, such as "Black Coffee" and "The Nearness of You," are mixed in with a program of show-tunes highlighted by "That Lucky Old Sun" and "Summertime." --John Swenson

Out Of This World
Barbara Moorman | Lindenwold, New Jersey USA) | 03/13/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Let me tell you. If ever god made anything better than this cd, hemust have kept it for himself, because this is the cream of the crop. If only one of Sarah`s cds, let it be this one. You`ll never get tired of hearing it and eachsong seems to be made to be fitfor her style. This recording is absolutely beautiful. This is a must have cd. Any collection of jazz wouldn`t be complete without it. I have heard these songs performed by many other artists but I like her versions best of all. This recording is truly magnificent!"
