Ella Fitzgerald & Natalie Cole jam on "Straighten Up and Fly Right" (1990)

[4thekidsTV]

They really knew how to perform one of Mr.Cole's best tunes.

[poetcomic1]

She wouldn't sing anymore (ella) but she did it for Natalie using what tiny little fragment of voice she had left with exquisite delicacy.

@poetcomic1 I could have sworn Miss Ella was performing right up until she was hospitalized for diabetic complications. Maybe I was mistaken. But I do agree, she was holding it back a bit. She could shatter glass back in the day!

[poetcomic1]

@StrongCaramel She did perform some but with her greatly reduced range and her lack of breath she put all her supernatural artistry into short sharp phrases - was never short of amazing. She was not 'holding back' - she was using whatever was left to her with every ounce of genius.

ella ella ella.

RIP Ella. Best Jazz vocalist of all time. Nat King Cole was brilliant as well.

[jdtarain88]

They're wonderful!!!!!!!

[ForeverComplaining]

Ella is my favourite! She's like Whitney houston, her vocal tone is just lovely.

[rellenoz]

As old as Ella was, that chick STILL had mad skills!

[alexanderdiaz1]

Ella Fitzgerald had the most clearest voice when she sang and if you listen carefully when she skat, it was so clear you can actually hear what she is saying... Ella, The Queen of Jazz and Skat...

[AleekahTV]

Adorable.

[4050322]

I like fitzgerald but no Cole

[bolder2009]

@4050322 Of course Ella is in a league of her own, but Natalie is an amazing singer. Her father would be very proud of what she has accomplished in her career. Its not easy to be the daughter of a Legend when you are working in the same field. Natalie has proven to be one of the best artists since her debut in the 70's. A class act!

[ynotbefree]

Now that was cool; two wonderful legendary singers!

[Krazy3912]

Natalie Cole is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO sexy.

[redbuckatl]

great passing of the touch, natalie would years later say ella was the best singer she ever knew, and for the first time on record admitted ella could even out sing her famous father....that all being said natalie was on fire this night!
