Our second Birthday belongs to New Jersey born jazz singer, Sarah Vaughn, who would have turned 97 today. She passed away in 1990, age 66, from lung cancer, at home while watching a movie called Laker Girls, featuring her daughter Paris Vaughn. Sarah released the song, "Too Much, Too Soon" on June 14, 1958, on the Mercury label. The song came from the Warner Brothers film of the same title, the 1958 biographical film about Diana Barrymore, starring  Dorothy Malone and Errol Flynn. If the track charted, I can find no evidence. It's B-side is "What's So Bad About It". Both songs feature Hal Mooney And His Orchestra.
