Recorded in 1956 for the EmArcy label, Vaughan joins with Hal Mooney and his orchestra to dive head-first into a collection of iconic ballads and standards. Opening with Billy Strayhorns Lush Life, Vaughan weaves her way through the set, which showcases her at her best. Rodgers & Harts My Romance is a notable performance, and the raw emotion in Im Afraid the Masquerade Is Over is palpable.
