Friday jazz - Sarah Vaughn
If I had to choose my favorite female pop or jazz singer, it would be a toss-up between Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughn. Ella was the perfect interpreter - she knew exactly how to sing a song to bring out its emotional content. Sarah simply breaks my heart. Here she is singing The Nearness of You. The sound is pretty crappy, but Sarah’s vulnerability and underlying sadness shines right through.
