“Broken Hearted Melody”, Sarah Vaughan, 1959, Hal David and Sherman Edwards.

A Hal David sighting! Bet it won’t be our last. The song does kind of have that Brill Building sound to it, a little, now that I think about it.

Most songs, the thing that makes them go is the chorus. Not this one. This one, it’s the way Vaughan comes up on the title phrase in the first line of each stanza, slinky and catchy and irresistible. How do you do that. That’s the question, isn’t it? How do you do that?
