In my opinion this is the best album by Ella and Basie (probably the only one studio album by them). I think Quincy Jones was a producer. I am looking for "Honeysuckle Rose" from this album.Its the best version of that song ever. Any response???
That's right — a classic of it's own right, so happy and cheerful! Any other version has to be compared with this one first.
I also like Chaka Khan's version, Denise Jannah has put a fine touch to it, Carmen McRae as well; also some Anita O'Day hi-speed versions are good — and of course «Lady Day»!
I agree...no one does it like Miss Ella! This is great, thanks for sharing!

@mjeezyforizzle I believe there are some people in the adult industy who would lay claim to that title.
