Sarah Vaughan
The Divine Sassy Sorceress of Tone
Call me Sassy. I make notes bloom like midnight roses.
I came from Newark, church choirs in my bones and jazz in my blood. Earl Hines heard something in me—and he wasn’t wrong. I don’t just sing a song, I live it, stretch it, turn it inside out. Dizzy, Bird, Clifford Brown—they knew what I could do. I’ve worn gowns on stage and laughed backstage like a rogue. I’m Sarah. I’m Sassy. And if you’ve heard me, you know I don’t just sing—
What I'm Into: gospel roots, bending time with a note, Clifford Brown duets, midnight in a smoky club, a gown that breathes
