An American jazz and popular-music singer, was born on 27th March 1924, in New Jersey. At the age of 7, Vaughan began studying piano and singing in her church choir. In 1942 she performed as a singer for a week at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, New York, which was her prize for winning the Apollo Amateur Hour contest. American singer Billy Eckstine, who was performing with the orchestra of American pianist Earl Hines, heard Vaughan at the Apollo and persuaded Hines to hire her as second pianist and singer in 1943. In 1944 Vaughan joined Eckstine's newly formed band, which included many pioneers of the newly emerging style known as bebop, or bop. Band members included American musicians such as Fats Navarro, saxophonists Dexter Gordon and drummer Art Blakey. Through her associations with such musicians, Vaughan began her rise to stardom in 1949 through a five-year recording contract with the Columbia record company. During this period she recorded mostly with studio orchestras on such albums as Mean to Me (1950).
One of the premier jazz singers of the 20th century, known for her expressive voice, unique vibrato (slight and rapid variation in pitch), and outstanding vocal range was died on April 3, 1990, Hidden Hills, California, United States.
