On April 25th, 1918, The Queen of Jazz, Ella Fitzgerald was born in Newport News, VA. “Mack The Knife”, “(If You Can’t Sing It) You’ll Have To Swing It”, and “A-Tisket, A-Tasket” are a few of many songs that Fitzgerald is remembered.
I love Ella! Her voice always equals the feelings I’m in, be they Happy or Sad or of Longing or Fulfillment. However, as wonderful as her version of ‘Black Coffee’ is, Julie London’s is my favorite. (No bricks through my windows please) 😉
I like her duet of “Istanbul not Constantinople” with Bing Crosby.
