FOR YOUR REVIEW: With this number I fell in love with Sarah Vaughan, I've Got the Right to Sing the Blues...since then it has been a happy marriage. What else can I say about a jazz vocalist who is in a league of her own? I know of few other artist that can equal her...Billie Holiday...Ella Fitzgerald...Dinah Washington... maybe one or two others...but really this woman stands alone as an American work of artistic art, nobody will ever equal her, nobody will ever surpass her...Sarah I'll love you until the day I die.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
