Durium Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Sarah Vaughan ( 1924-1990) is one of those legendary jazz vocalist from the second part of the Twentieth Century you can't have missed. She had a voice like a vocalist in the grand opera. During the 1950s and 1960s, when she developed into a very popular vocalist, she conquered the world and in 1954 she visited The Netherlands for the very first time. Keep Swinging loves to spot light her early career as an introduction for her European concerts in 1958 and the recently released 1958 Concertgebouw concert in Amsterdam.

mjzee Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 The US Postal Service has issued a commemorative stamp honoring Sarah Vaughan. They're sold in sheets that look like a 45 sleeve: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duaneiac Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 The nice thing about "forever" rate postage stamps is one can stock up when one finds a commemorative stamp design that is of particular interest. I am just about down to the last of the Ray Charles stamps I stocked up on years ago. I don't know that I love the design of this Sarah Vaughan stamp, but I will try to buy a couple of sheets at least. Now, USPS, how about a Shirley Horn stamp?
