Sarah Vaughan - Whatever Lola Wants (Gotan Project Remix 2003)

Sarah Vaughan Remixed... soo sassy! “Whatever Lola Wants“ is a popular song, sometimes rendered as “Whatever Lola Wants, Lola Gets“. The music and words were written by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross for the 1955 musical play Damn Yankees. The song is sung by Lola, the Devil’s assistant, a part originated by Gwen Verdon, who reprised the role in the film. The saying was reportedly inspired by Lola Montez, an Irish-born “Spanish dancer“ and mistress of King Ludwig I of Bavaria, who later became a San Francisco Gold Rush vamp. Sarah Lois Vaughan (March 27, 1924 – April 3, 1990) was an American jazz singer, described by music critic Scott Yanow as having “one of the most wondrous voices of the 20th century.“ Nicknamed “Sassy“ and “The Divine One“, Sarah Vaughan was a Grammy Award winner. The National Endowment for the Arts bestowed upon her its “highest honor in jazz“, the NEA Jazz Masters Award, in 1989.
