Sarah Vaughan - Misty (Live from Sweden) Mercury Records 1964
SMOOTH OPERATOR (1958)
She likes it like that and so do we. Sarah Vaughan was a fantastic singer. Great voice and vocalisation. Of course regarded as a great Jazz artist, this one’s certainly got Soul.
As well as having a distinctive and appealing voice, she was an accomplished pianist, having started learning at the age of seven. Another star who came from a religious family and whose career started off in church.
In more recent times, singers such as Amy Winehouse were heavily influence by her sound and in particular, her musical phrasing.
