1987年与Verve唱片公司签约，加入Verve唱片发行的第一张专辑是 I Thought About You，她与Verve唱片的合作顺利，也奠定她开创音乐事业高峰的基础。

1992年由编曲家Johnny Mandel所参与合作的专辑Here's To Life成为告示排行榜的最佳爵士乐专辑有17週的时间，这张专辑有小喇叭手Wynton Marsalis的演出，接下来的一些专辑也都有很好的成绩。

by Scott Yanow & Tim SendraA superior ballad singer and a talented pianist, Shirley Horn put off potential success until finally becoming a major attraction while in her fifties. She studied piano from the age of four. After attending Howard University, Horn put together her first trio in 1954, and was encouraged in the early 60s by Miles Davis and Quincy Jones. She recorded three albums during 1963-1965 for Mercury and ABC/Paramount, but chose to stick around Washington, D.C., and raise a family instead of pursuing her career. In the early 80s, she began recording for SteepleChase, but Shirley Horn really had her breakthrough in 1987 when she started making records for Verve, an association that continued on records like 1998s I Remember Miles and 2001s Youre My Thrill. Along the way she picked up many prestigious honors including seven Grammy nominations (and one win for Best Jazz Vocal Album with I Remember Miles), a 1996 induction into the Lionel Hampton Jazz Hall of Fame and Frances the Academie Du Jazzs Prix Billie Holiday for her 1990 album Close Enough for Love. In 2001 Horns health began to fail (she had her left foot amputated due to diabetes) and while it affected her piano playing, she continued to perform sporadically and recorded one final album for Verve, 2003s May the Music Never End. Horn passed away on October 20, 2005, due to complications from diabetes.
