I grew up on all the various "songbooks" Ella did for Verve back in the fifties.

Old Dude Ive been playing this for years on the cello. My teacher always said if you can sound like a voice you are close to impossible perfection.

Its good to be close

She was good, though I personally preferred Dinah Washington. :-)

OK keb,
This song is all about the dastardly disorienting debilitating effects of evil alcohol and illuminates the sentiments of Donald Trump

Uh, Dan...Why in B.S., Bro??
You got me on a roll on YouTube; listened to BB&B by Ella, Gaga, Linda R, and Carly. On the 1-10 scale, I would say three 10s and a 12 for Ella.

This thread's got me on an Ella-listening jag as well. Her voice was one helluva an instrument with so many great performances of great songs by all those great composers. I especially love what she did with Cole Porter,

I've Got You Under My Skin

In the Still of the Night

Even classical singers bowed down to her.
I remember one operatic soprano who marveled:
"Ella Fitzgerald and her sense of perfect pitch."
