Sarah was more purely musical than Ella. Something special indeed. Ella was more virtuoso. Why compare? You might like Monk, you might like Bill Evans: it's simply a matter of taste.
Sarah Vaughan was one of my favorite singers. I prefer her higher vocal range to Ella Fitzgerald. I am biased because I prefer post 1950s music, but in my opinion, Sarah's vocals sounded friendlier, sassier, and more sensual than Ella's. My favorite voices of popular female singers are: Alice Babs, Sarah Vaughan, and Judith Durham. All three came across in some of their songs,as soft, soothing, and warm, and
respect both Ella and Sarah; for me, I love the naturality of Ella and technical manipulation of Sarah. I don't quite agree with people saying that "mousy-sounding" is Ella's fault. Though Ella may not have the pitch as high and all-rounded as Sarah's, Ella makes wise use of her thin delivery of voice. You can search "I can't give you anything but love" by Ella here @ utube; it's a perfect example in which Ella transforms the supposed "weakness" into miracle and makes her rendition matchless.

After 30 years of listening to Sarah and Ella, I still can't pick a favorite, and no longer do I try.

all three sounded angelic in some of their songs.
