Count Basie And Ella Fitzgerald 1972

[@TortoiseJames]

Singers like Ella and Billie are the reason audiences started coming out to hear the VOCALISTS instead of the band. Before them, the singer was expendable to Band Leaders. Those two changed the game.

Ella looks gorgeous here. That dress is BAD! 😍 Of course she sounds amazing, as usual. And am I the only one who thinks Count Basie was adorable? Lol

That modulation scat was RIDICULOUS!!! I go back every single time.

Ella Fitzgerald, was one of the greatest Jazz singer and she could scat, along with the musicians. I'll always remember her.
