One of the best jazz vocal albums of the early 1950's. Sarah's interpretations of these songs is 2nd to none, I am a big fan of Sarah Vaughan because of my father she and Frank Sinatra were the earliest memories I have of music because they were his favourite vocalists and this album contains so many great memories. Apart from the sentimental memories, this album still stands out as one of my favourites because of the orchestration and Sarah's extraordinary vocals .

Great 1950s chart! I haven't made my own chart for this decade yet but I would imagine I would have many of the same albums. Really good to see Sarah Vaughan doing well too.
