You can't call this singing because apparently many people sing on this day and age. No, Ella didn't sing, she felt the music and tried to make us understand how life (should be) when it's only felt.

This is an outstanding rendition, not a cover version like many other versions, Ella would always bring something unique to any song she ever sang. Perfect diction,intonation, and a difficult song to sing slowly requiring great vocal control, this is singing at it's finest.

This version ist masterfull, touching and simply unmatched.... Indeed no words to describe.... Anyone who knows something about Ella's life (from biographies) might burst into tears when he hears Ella with that song, and the way she sings these lyrics! Ella was a lonely woman. Never had luck with men. Her whole life was on stage. She was loved by millions for her singing. But she lived alone on the stage. After her concerts she went to eat something with her musicians, then she went into the respective hotel. To go the next day in another city, or another country to be back on stage. That was her life fifty or sixty years. After many concerts ( first 1967) I saw her last time 1990 in a concert in Cologne Philharmony. She looked old and fragile, sang sitting on a chair. But she still had great moments. 1993 was Ella's last concert. Then they had both lower legs amputated due diabeties.... She died on June 15 1996. She has not been forgotten and loved forever

Just to have been in her presence when have been beyond amazing. Rest easy Ms. Fitzgerald for you truly deserve for all that you gave the world.
