I saw them together performing this song in the early seventies-fantastic!

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

[@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
