Sarah - Dedicated To You (1992)

"A tribute to the then recently deceased Sarah Vaughan that ranks at very high level. Carmen McRae's final recording finds the singer backed by the Shirley Horn Trio (unfortunately, Horn turned down McRae's request to sing a bit) on 13 numbers associated with Vaughn, plus Carroll Coates' original "Sarah." On such songs as ""Poor Butterfly," "Misty," "Tenderly," "I'll Be Seeing You," and even "Send in the Clowns," McRae brings back the spirit (and some of the phrasing) of Sarah Vaughan, while still sounding very much like herself. This very well-conceived tribute is a classic of its kind and a perfect swan song for Carmen McRae." (Scott Yanow, Allmusic)
