In mid 1953, Sarah is signed to Brunswick. She is joined by her childhood friend Gayle Brown for the Brunswick release "Gone Are The Days". In June, Sarah and her trio are on stage for a week at New York's Apollo Theater. In May Brunswick releases #84009 - "I'm Tired Of Crying Over You" and "Foolin' Myself". This is followed the next month by #84014 - "Let's Get The Party Rockin'" and "Blue Room" recorded with Georgie Auld and his band. In early July Sarah plays a week at Washington D.C.'s Howard Theater. Not much is heard from McLawler until the following April when she begins a long association with violinist Richard Otto. Brunswick #84026 contains "Somehow" and "You're Gone". Other records for Brunswick include "Body And Soul" and "Yesterday". The Capitol Lounge is the last remaining R & B room in the Chicago Loop. In May of 1954 that room calls it a day and Sarah has the distinction of being the last musical attraction to perform at that room. In October Sarah plays a number of club dates in New York's Harlem.
From that time on for a number of years, Sarah was part of a unique trio of organ, violin, and drums. The violinist was Otto whom she eventually married, and the drummer was Tommy Hunter. They recorded a number of singles including "Relax Miss Frisky", "Flamingo", "Canadian Sunset", and "At The Break Of Day", and albums for the Vee-Jay label, the most successful being the "We Give You Love". A followup LP was recorded under the title "We Give You Swing". The McLawler - Otto trio closed out 1959 with a tour through the Midwest with Ray Charles ending up with a holiday week at Chicago's Regal Theater. She remained a wonderful performer, and a part of the R & B legacy that started it all.
