Sarah Vaughan - Sarah Vaughan's Golden Hits!!! (1961)


This is one of my very favorite albums. I've had this for at least twenty years - bought it when I first discovered this AM radio station in Dallas that played "big bands and great singers". Sarah Vaughan was one of the great singers whose songs they would play, and almost every song on this album was played on that radio station. How can you not fall in love with the wonderful voice that belonged to Sarah Vaughan? She was indeed, the Divine One. If you don't have any albums by Sarah Vaughan, then this is the one you need to get, since it has most of her great hits. I can't really pick a favorite song from this album because each time I listen to the next song, it becomes my favorite! They're all just wonderful - just what one would expect from the Divine Sarah Vaughan.

Sarah Vaughan - Dreamy (1961)


What a better way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon than to listen to the Divine One, the one and only "Sassy". Of course, I'm talking about the wonderful Sarah Vaughan. What a voice - what talent! Sigh. I'm speechless - I really don't know what else to say about this awesome singer. So, instead I'm going to just let you listen to her sing on this album - singing such favorites of mine as "Crazy He Calls Me", "The More I See You", and "I'll Be Seeing You". With songs like that, how can you go wrong?
