This is such a hard song to sing, because it is so rangey but, WHAT a song! Billy Strayhorn, was a troubled and brilliant lyricist, who Duke loved and stuck with him through out his sad life. Ella sings a great rendition. Thanks for posting this.
@StevesWifeCharlo Strayhorn was a lot more than a lyricist. He was an enormously talented arranger and composer in his own right. He wasa brilliant and courageous human being, not some sad hanger on.
So beautiful - as is this whole album (Ella at Duke's Place). Maybe someone will upload Passion Flower and the incomparable I Like the Sunrise. Thank you!

Incredible, and the whole album is like this. Was this one of Strayhorn's first for Duke?

sounds kind of tinny... the recording i mean... you didn't just record it with a microphone up to the speaker did you?
