In 1959, Vaughan's single "Broken Hearted Melody" reached number seven on the Billboard pop chart and became an international success, becoming the biggest single of her career.
Vaughan had further pop chart entries into the 1960s with "Eternally" and "Serenata." She then moved to Roulette Records.

She followed this with "A Lover's Concerto," which reached the top ten of the same chart. The song also was her final release to chart on the pop chart, reaching the top 70. Vaughan continued releasing singles through various record labels into the 1980s. Her 1974 release, "I Need You More (Than Ever Now)" was her final charting release.
