The record
A collection of Sarah Vaughan's Mercury sides from the era when her voice moved effortlessly between pop polish and jazz phrasing, backed by lush studio arrangements typical of the label's crossover ambitions. Proof of why she earned the nickname "Sassy" -- that huge, elastic instrument bending ballads and standards alike to her will.
