The Roulette Years Sarah Vaughan Sarah Lois Vaughan (March 27, 1924 – April 3, 1990) was an American jazz singer, described by Scott Yanow as having 'one of the most wondrous voices of the 20th century.'

The Allmusic review by John Bush awarded the album four stars and said that 'Despite the peaceful atmosphere and strolling tempo, Vaughan hardly treats the material as a cinch for her voice; all of these eleven songs find her searching for different ways to present timeworn standards...Snowbound is an overlooked gem from Sarah Vaughan's Roulette years'.[2]
