They called her 'Sassy' ...

Happy Birthday 'SASSY'

Sarah Lois Vaughan born March 27, 1924 – April 3, 1990 was an American jazz singer, described by music critic Scott Yanow as having "one of the most wondrous voices of the 20th century."[1]

Nicknamed "Sassy", "The Divine One" and "Sailor" (for her salty speech),[ Sarah Vaughan was a Grammy Awardwinner.  The National Endowment for the Arts bestowed upon her its "highest honor in jazz", the NEA Jazz Masters Award, in 1989.[ 

'Sassy'
