Imagine...

Every time a new baby is born, this person is responsible 

for select body parts that comprise a human being.

 On the top most shelf of the supply room,

 there it was–bubble-wrapped 

 and stamped  PSV 

 (Perfect Singing Voice)         



April 25, 1915        

  
Exactly one hundred and two years ago today:

it was given to a not-so-distant cousin of Scott Fitzgerald.

Her name is  Ella Jane Fitzgerald.

She was born with the Perfect Singing Voice...

The GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK

 was created for her.

I will prove this now:

With Count Basies's Band, Ella sings
the Irving Berlin classic:
I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm

Duke Ellington's  Take The A Train
is a subway local with a vocal
by Queen Ella.

The brilliance of Gershwin's  They All Laughed
is it is both a classic song and a valuable history lesson.
Laugh along with Ella.

After a 15-second un-skipable advert,
you can hear Ella sing Sole Porter's
most controversial song:
Love For Sale

If Rodgers and Hart's  Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered
were included in every American high school poetry book,
American students would put all others to shame.
Hit it, Ella and don't forget
the "ants in your pants."

Click  here  for the possibility of 50 + minutes
of the only vocal duets that inspire the Great Creator
to take the phone off the hook.

I end this page with two people
who make their home on Mt. Olympus:
Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.

It would be

a great deprivation

to your ears

if this page

excluded

Ella + Louis
