"When I sing, trouble can sit right on my shoulder and I don't even notice."
Sarah Vaughn

Music sweet music.  No, not everyone can sing as well as Sarah Vaughan, but we all sing in one way or another.  Even if that is simply listening to another and allowing your heart to sing along.  Music heals and causes troubles to disappear.

Sarah Vaughan (1924-1990) was an American jazz singer.  She is widely considered one of the greatest voices in modern history.  Vaughan got her start with big band leader Earl Hines and subsequently Billy Eckstine when he left to lead his own group.  Among the musicians in these groups were future jazz luminaries Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Art Blakey, and Dexter Gordon amongst many others.  "Sassy", as she was nicknamed, went on to be very successful throughout her entire career earning much critical and widespread acclaim.  She was also dubbed "The Divine One" by disk jockey Dave Garroway from Chicago.
