Ella Fitzgerald & Duke Ellington - Lush Life (1965)

[ergr84]

Are there any better versions of this performance?

[faviv]

Which man? The one at the beginning? Wasn't Billy Strayhorn black? I doubt any white man could write such a song (especially considering the time it was written) but I really don't know, just inferring from context.

[RaceIsOpen]

I believe that the guy pictured for a moment was the guy from Sweden that she had a brief affair with. As I recall he turned out to be a crook. Too bad.

[DYNODRUM]

Perfection from Two Exceptional Artists....

[vHumboldt77]

I wrote a song when I was 84 year old called "mayonnaise in vermont". it is about the cottage cheese industry.

Sublime

[jamesmotomal]

Strayhorn wrote this when he was 18 and he's never been to Paris!! Amazing no?

[TheReturnOfStephan1]

He wrote it when he was 16.

Even better.:)

Magnificent. Two geniuses at the peak of their powers, performing one of the greatest jazz tunes ever written (by the great Billy Strayhorn.) Thank you for posting this incredible clip.

[starstuff]

Gracias Ella por existirr, no sabes cuanto me alegras la vida con tus canciones casi todas las noches al volver a casas...

[aliensasquatch]

One of my favorite songs of all time..

[hremdldw]

Sweet Ella,wonderful performance

[ponkwrt]

Sara Vaughan??

[krustykell]

No, no, es Ella Fitzgerald

[ponkwrt]

Si se que es Fitzgerald por supuesto, lo que me cuestiono es que si Vaughan es correctamente incluida a la altura de Ella; Sara canta bonito, pero.... no es un genio musical.

[inatrampolina]

que barbaridad decir esto! sarah vaughan era adorada y estimada por todo el mundo musical como genio, con una voz mas versatile(?) que casi cualquier cantante... y tambien era genio de composicion de canciones por piano! parexe que ud no conoce bien la obra de sarah.

[oysterpippo]

De gente como la Fitgerald no se puede decir una de las más famosas sino una de las más grandes. Se trata de gigantes de la música del siglo pasado, años en que hemos podido comprender que Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgeraldy Sarah Vaughan son genios al estado puro y untados en el sublime. Que nos regalaron sus diferentes personalidades y sus presencias simultaneas en años afortunadamente ricos de artístas de estatura incommensurable... Cosas así se llaman milagros.
