| Mel Torme to Anita Baker.Young Sarah studied piano from the age of seven, and before entering her teens had become an organist and choir soloist at the Mount Zion Baptist Church.In the audience that night was the singer Billy Eckstine.Others including Miles Davis and Art Blakey, were eventually to join the band as well.Within a year, however, Vaughan wanted to give a solo career a try.Vaughan expanded her jazz repertoire to include pop music.While jazz purists balked at these efforts, no one could deny that in any genre, Vaughan had one of the greatest voices in the business.In the late 1960s, Vaughan returned to jazz music, performing and making regular recordings.In 1982, while in her late fifties, Vaughan won the Grammy for Best Jazz Vocalist for her album, "Gershwin Live"!While she continued to work without the massive commercial success enjoyed by colleagues such as Peggy Lee, Rosemary Clooney, and Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan consistently retained a special place in the hearts of fellow musicians and audiences alike.Remarkably, unlike many singers, she lost none of her extraordinary talent as time went on.Sarah Vaughan passed away.She had the single best vocal instrument of any singer working in the popular field.Actors Studio
