Product Description

A uniquely gifted interpreter, Sarah Vaughan possessed one of the most powerful and instantly recognizable voices in American music. “The Divine One” moved effortlessly between fleet-footed bebop, gritty blues, and the kind of lushly arranged standards showcased on Close to You, an overlooked gem originally released in 1960 and now available on vinyl for the first time in 60 years. Backed by refined orchestral arrangements by Belford Hendricks and Fred Norman, she delivers nuanced performances of standards including “Close to You,” “I Should Care,” “Last Night When We Were Young” and more.

* Mastered from analog sources

* Pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Record Technology, Inc. (RTI)

* Numbered Tip on Gatefold Jacket

* Limited to just 2,500 copies
