Summary:God is good," [Sarah Vaughan] once said of her artistry, which seemed to balance tempo, dynamics and texture almost preternaturally. Vaughan rebelled from her strict Baptist upbringing to haunt the jazz clubs in her native Newark. But "Sassy," a biography of the singer, who died of lung cancer in 1990 at the age of 66, shows that she never strayed far from her spiritual roots.
