History
Sarah Vaughan was born March 27, 1924, in Newark, New Jersey, and grew up playing piano and organ at her church. In October 1942 she won an amateur-night contest at Harlem's Apollo Theater singing "Body and Soul," which led to a job as singer and second pianist with the Earl Hines Orchestra. In 1943-44 she joined Billy Eckstine's band alongside Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker, absorbing the horn-like phrasing of the emerging bebop movement; the trio recorded "Lover Man" together in 1945, the same year she launched her solo career in Manhattan's jazz clubs. Known for a three-octave range, near-operatic control, and daring harmonic improvisation, she earned the nicknames "Sassy," "The Divine One," and "Queen of Bebop," and is usually ranked alongside Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday among the greatest American jazz vocalists. She won two Grammy Awards, including a Lifetime Achievement Grammy, from nine total nominations. Vaughan died April 3, 1990, in Hidden Hills, California.
