Jazz Icons: Sarah Vaughan features the 'Divine One' in her prime, wrapping her sultry voice around jazz standards such as 'Lover Man', 'Misty' and 'I Got Rhythm and soaring on popular showtunes such as 'Over The Rainbow' and 'Maria'. One of the greatest voices of the 20th Century, her renditions of songs by Harold Arlen, Leonard Bernstein, Johnny Burke, the Gershwins and Stephen Sondheim are pure diva magic. These three performances demonstrate why Sarah Vaughan is invariably mentioned in the same breath as Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday.

Is there a more universally likable comedy-person right now than Ed Helms? Maybe Paul Rudd? Steve Carell? The fact that he s even in the discussion is a well-earned compliment, because he s awesome.
To reaffirm said awesomeness, Helms dropped by the Tonight Show last night to again prove that he s basically a less stupid version of Andy Bernard in real life, engaging in a wacky improvised scat-session alongside the Jonas Brothers.
Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald can make love, give birth to a superchild, and have that child eat his effing heart out (Scat-time starts in the last minute of the clip):
