5:30 you can really see the sadness of the little girl inside. The joy of her singing was really so much more impressive knowing her childhood. How she got through it amazes me, and coming from a broken family and sad childhood myself, inspires me every day to just carry on and make something of myself, as she did. What a lady she was ♥️

[@hihosilverlining2]

oh my goodness. Are you hearing this lady lol. She was AMAZING. Thanks for posting...WOW!

[@FM897]

I could listen to her sing all day long! I'm not sure if I can say that about any other vocalist!

[@pdxet2]

People criticized her appearance but I just don't get it! She's very pleasant to watch performing.

[@scotnick59]

I loved her so much, that I often-times found her BEAUTIFUL

[@makurradoshi4498]

I know, it's ridiculous! I always think such a woman and songery of her caliber, who gives a damn what her size was? or how she looked, whatever.. she's no magazine model but so what, she was beautiful, and uniquely so. Not to mention she gave off such a warmth on and off stage, just so all around lovely.. anyone who nitpicks at her appearance is a most shallow excuse of a person

@Kirk Barkley
You did not see her beautiful because you loved her.
She was really beautiful. She had a very beautiful smile and the shape of her eyes.

This is the overture of Porgy and Bess, album recorded by Ella and Louis. A jewel. Ella Fitzgerald is one the most valuable treasures World has ever created :)
