Biography

Ella Fitzgerald is commonly considered to be one of the greatest female jazz singers of all time. In a career spanning nearly 60 years, she released over 50 albums and toured constantly all over the world.

Born in Virginia in 1917, she suffered terrible poverty through childhood and was homeless until her big break at the age of 17, when she won an amateur singing competition at the Harlem Theatre… Read more in Amazon's Ella Fitzgerald Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Anthology from the Great Lady, May 15, 2000
This review is from: Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Rodgers & Hart Songbook, Vol. 1 (Audio CD)
A collection of fine songs, some pretty well known, some less so, and Ella provides some perfect renditions of them, her pure voice and style making them glow. This volume has her wonderful performance of "The Lady is a Tramp," among others, some sweet, some tender, some fun. I think Buddy Bregman's orchestrations here are a step above those he did for Ella's "Cole Porter Songbook," perhaps because they seem to suit these songs so well. And if you think this one's good, volume 2 is even better.

5.0 out of 5 stars ELLA'S MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGBOOK, December 6, 1999
This review is from: Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Rodgers & Hart Songbook, Vol. 1 (Audio CD)
Ella Fitzgerald and Rodgers and Hart are a sensational combination! I've had the original L.P. album since I was sixteen and to hear it is to love it! "Bewitched" is particularly wonderful, but there isn't one clinker in the whole bunch - I HIGHLY recommend buying both volumes-you definitely won't regret owning these impeccable interpretations of wonderful love songs! Ella's interpretations of these timeless songs are perfection, and it's great fun to listen to the rarely heard verses which are clever and sophisticated; they DO add something to a song!

5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive songbook. Fitzgerald at her incomparable best, March 5, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Rodgers & Hart Songbook, Vol. 1 (Audio CD)
I have owned this album since it was first released on long playing plastic. A lot of years! I have literallally worn it out and am delighted now to be able to get it on cd. There is no one like Fitzgerald. There is nothing like this music. The best of the best.
