Sarah Vaughan
Sarah Vaughan (1924–1990), an American jazz singer described by Scott Yanow as having "one of the most wondrous voices of the 20th century", pictured performing in 1946. Vaughan began her career in the early 1940s and was a star within a few years, signing with Musicraft Records the year this photograph was taken; she remained active until her death. Vaughan has received extended recognition, including induction into the New Jersey Hall of Fame, two entries in the Grammy Hall of Fame, and several tribute albums.Photo: William P.
