Editing Sarah Vaughan (section)

===Rio and Norman Granz===
In 1977, filmmaker Thomas Guy followed Vaughan on tour to film the documentary ''Listen to the Sun''. She traveled throughout South America: Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, and Peru. She was enamored of Brazil, as this was her third tour of Brazil in six years. In the documentary, she called the city of Rio "the greatest place I think I've ever been on earth". Audiences were so enthusiastic that she said, "I don't believe they like me that much."<ref name="Hayes" />{{rp|315}} After rejection by Atlantic, she wanted to try producing her own album of Brazilian music. She asked [[Aloísio de Oliveira]] to run the sessions and recorded ''I Love Brazil!'' with [[Milton Nascimento]], [[Jose Roberto Bertrami]], [[Dorival Caymmi]], and [[Antonio Carlos Jobim]].<ref name="Hayes" />{{rp|315–316}}

She had an album but no label to release it, so she signed to [[Pablo Records|Pablo]] run by [[Norman Granz]]. She had known Granz since 1948 when she performed on one of his Jazz at the Philharmonic tours. He was the record producer and manager for Ella Fitzgerald and the owner of [[Verve Records|Verve]]. After selling Verve, he started [[Pablo Records|Pablo]]. He was dedicated to acoustic, mainstream jazz and had recorded Count Basie, [[Duke Ellington]], and [[Clark Terry]]. In 1978 he recorded Vaughan's ''[[How Long Has This Been Going On? (Sarah Vaughan album)|How Long Has This Been Going On?]]'', a set of jazz standards with veteran jazz musicians [[Oscar Peterson]], [[Joe Pass]], [[Ray Brown (musician)|Ray Brown]], and [[Louis Bellson]]. The album was nominated for a Grammy Award. Pablo released ''I Love Brazil!'' and it, too, was nominated for a Grammy.<ref name="Hayes" />{{rp|317–319}}
