Sarah Vaughan. After Hours.

This is a recent find. Bob mentioned it in a comment to another post in this series, and I checked it out. The song selection is superb here, with mostly classic songs like Sophisticated Lady and In a Sentimental Mood and My Favorite Things. Sarah is in full voice, with the vocal mannerisms present but under control. The accompaniment is just bass and guitar.

  1. I was just listening to that last night, particularly "Wonder Why," which I cannot stop singing to myself. The only other version of this song I can find is the first one, sung quite beautifully by a very young Vic Damone in the MGM musical "Young, Rich, and Pretty": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frW_tRQrvgQ .

    Do you know any other versions of that song?

  2. Billy Eckstine, Carmen McCrae, Michael Feinstein, Ernestine Anderson, have recorded it. There's an instrumental version by Bill Evans. That's just after a quick look at the itunes store. But it is not one of those warhorses that you hear over and over again.
