it didn't go unnoticed...! hehe, there's no accounting for taste, eh? ;-P

It was a misguided comparison of icons in a comment thread with btrxz about lame, codpiece-wearing, hotel-wrecking, virgin-deflowering classic rock. Makes perfect sense, right? Anyway, her voice sounds great here. I think I just heard Tisket, a Tasket too many times! ;-)

At any rate, these songs are all beautiful.

haha, yep, I don;t have much love for her novelty songs either, but that was what sold a records amongst the white populace at the time I suppose. She can do some really amazing things with her voice though; I'm glad you could stand to hear four of her songs :)

I love every song on this mix. There would be no Annie Ross without Ella.

:) anytime, sir. and yeah, she is a bit mardy, isn't she?

I'm a sucker for standards sung by some of the greats. Ella Fitzgerald is everything.

why, thank you very much... yep, I have to agree with you there, Ella is my favourite, as you might have guessed from this.

Ella and Joe Pass!!! what a session

isn't is just? just realised that it isn't labelled properly either... it's this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take_Love_Easy, in case you hadn't figured it out... which i doubt. glad you liked it and i hope your proposal knocks 'em dead.
