Ella Fitzgerald is perhaps the BEST female vocalist ever to walk the earth

I don't know if there will ever be so effortlessness in reference and musicality. She went everywhere, and wrote the best horn solos around. She just sang them. And did she ever. No matter the genre, she covered it with not just ease, but a thrill. She said she liked telling a story, and that's what I remember the first time I saw her on the Grammy Awards. I recall the audience went wild and that's when it was not just the deep inside of me that got stirred She stopped traffic with that beautiful voice. So natural, silky and pleasing It's a moment in existence exquisite and painful. Thankfully, she was very prolific. Thank you so much Ella!

Savoy, the home of sweet romance Savoy, it wins you at a glance Savoy, gives happy feet a chance, to dance. Your form, just like a clinging vine Your lips, so warm and sweet as wine Your cheek, so soft and close to mine, devine How my heart is singin' While the band is swingin' Never tired of rompin' And stompin' with you, at the Savoy, What joy, a perfect holiday Savoy, where we can glide and sway Savoy, There let me stomp away with you.

one of my favourite albums of Ella is her live concert in Rome in 1958. She does a version of Stompin at the Savoy where Oscar Peterson must be on piano, and OP does something to make her laugh in mid-line - and she improvises a line 'Oscar we're through'. I really REALLY wish that was on film/video file somewhere

There is something so sultry about the opening she and Peterson give here, and once they move into the hard swing, it's like they defy gravity with their rhythmic freedom. The stage is so heavy with talent, I don't know how it withstood the pressure.

@direfranchement I think that's a pretty perfect analysis. I've always thought Ella was the best ever at starting a song. The first few bars always grab you and pull you in to the rest of the song. Of course the phenomenal backing was a huge part of this but Ella's taste never failed.

@@paulharrell7964 I have a soft spot for Ann Brown (the Original Bess), but Ella's voice was pure. You can tell her voice needs a rest in this video but she is 99% better than any other singer when well rested. I am classically trained and in college I was asked in a tiny voice class who I thought was the best singer of the last hundred years, all I said was Ella, everyone else chose an opera singer; my teacher said I had the best answer.
