Sondheim, the songwriter who wrote a Broadway Musical gWest Side Storyh
wrote gLittle Night Musich in 1973, and it has a really difficult
song. Sarah sang it along only the piano. It is the song of real value
for listening. (SARAH VAUGHAN "I've Got Good", Le Chant Du
Monde, France, 1991) The record with Clifford Brown is also valuable.
That young genius passed away when he was only twenty-five.
I have seen Sarah sitting by a piano and singing like this. That appearance shows she is a real vocal queen. She sang gFeelingsh in the same difficult way of singing. No one can sing it like her, I bet. Her voice is an instrument. Her voice range spans three octaves. |
 Earl Hines (1903-1983) |
 BilllyEckstein (1914-1993) |
Sarah played the piano when
she was a little girl. Billy Eckstein discovered her. Sarah won the
first prize in an amateur contest in 1943 like Ella. She made her debut
as a second singer from Earl Heinz Orchestra, but she didnft record
any songs. The next year Billy brought her in his band when he formed
it and she sang in it. Sarah said that she was happy to sing in his
band. They have some similar w ays of singing because they had a relationship
between teacher and pupil. My close friend Salena Jones often tells me Sarah treated her kindly when she was a child. Salena was named after gsah from Sarah and glenah from Lena Horn. Translated by Kisshi |
