She's amazing...and so is Mel Torme as an improviser...watching them work together, particularly at the Grammy's, is like watching musical twins.......
Check that amaaazing rythmn section......and they both get on it bigtime.....
She's the best there's ever been
LOVE IT, LOVE IT, so sad they are no longer here. Love them both. RIP to them.
The King and the queen! A crime that record contracts of the day prevented her from recording with Nat and Frank. All we have are video recordings.
She seemed like such a nice woman.
WOW!
As I looked at this footage, you really can see and feel she really gave her all to the public. It's about as real as it gets. What a legacy, and what prized a treasure she became. She was at the time the Voice of America! Imagine that for a minute... And the fact that she was a black woman achieving such stature with songs that back then, only pretty white women with blond hair was singing. What irony this must have been at the time. She certainly didn't belong in that category in terms of appearance or race. Bit her spirit and her personality was everything of beauty, especially her music!
She worked so hard 😢
A national treasure who was treated poorly little did they know how great she was
magic man...love it
What is not to love here?
Love this doc! Where is part 5 though??
Dear Ella, why did she wear those awful wigs. She was beautiful with her own hair, and her beautiful face and voice, love her always
