About This Item
Lund, Sweden: Wallin and Dalholm Boktr, 1978. Vintage poster for a performance by jazz and pop singer Sarah Vaughan at Universitetets Aula, the University of Oslo's ceremonial hall, on October 25, 1978.
One of the defining vocalists of the twentieth century, Vaughan grew up singing at the Mount Zion Baptist Church in Newark. In 1942, at the age of 18, she won Apollo Theater's Amateur Night contest, leading to her opening for Ella Fitzgerald at the Apollo on November 20, 1942. The following year, bandleader Earl Hines hired the young performer as a pianist and singer, and by 1946 she was a rapidly rising star. By the early 1950s Vaughan was an international sensation, recording both commercial pop albums as well as jazz, most notably her renowned self-titled 1955 album with trumpeter Clifford Brown.
17.25 x 25 inches. Very Good plus, with a few faint splashes.
