1. "I'm Through with Love"
Sarah Vaughan may (or may not) have recorded this song twice--I'm not certain (there are two recordings listed on Soulful Kinda Music). I have only heard one Vaughan rendition of the song and this is it.
A little searching led me to several links that featured "The Chronological Classics: Sarah Vaughan-1946-1947" and this particular recording was on it. Therefore, according to Soulful Kinda Music and other search results, this rendition of "I'm Through with Love" was recorded by the legendary Sarah Vaughan, accompanied by George Treadwell's Orchestra, in 1946.
