In the City of Lights is the title of a live concert date by American jazz diva Sarah Vaughan, performing at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris.[1] Recorded in 1985, the album was not released until 1999, almost a decade after Vaughan's death in 1990.
The Allmusic review by Dave Nathan said: "Probably more than any of her contemporaries with whom she is most often compared, Sarah Vaughan's voice not only survived the vicissitudes of years of performing, but matured remarkably well. Her performance at this concert assured all that she could still go from bluesy growls through crystal clarity to sounding cute at the higher range...Vaughan makes a dramatic entrance singing "Summertime" a capella, establishing the vocal framework for the remainder of the concert. Vaughan is fully aware that her voice and persona are special. She is not all reluctant to use them to milk that last droplet of applause from the audience....The 2,500 plus people who attended the Chetelet concert that evening would not let Vaughan leave the stage.".[1]
