Sarah Vaughan and the Jimmy Rowles Quintet is a 1974 live album by Sarah Vaughan, accompanied by pianist Jimmy Rowles and his quintet.
The song "Morning Star" was mistakenly attributed in the liner notes of the album to W. C. Handy, but was actually written by Rowles and lyricist Johnny Mercer.Leslie Gourse Sassy: The Life of Sarah Vaughan 2009 - Page 276 0786751142 "Of the songs that were released, "Morning Star" was written by Jimmy Rowles with lyrics by Johnny Mercer, though W. C. Handy was given credit — apparently by accident — for the composition. This information comes directly from Jimmy "
Reception
