[cajanwitch60]

Thank You! I've been looking on YouTube for Ella doing Scat. This woman had the most Amazing Voice! It was not just a voice it was an instrument. Do you have any Sally Kirkland doing Scat also? Thanks Again.

[riverrocks0123]

[gottohavesoul]

[MachoSheri]

[nathhanegbi]

who is the second male scatter/trumpeter???

[gottohavesoul]

@nathhanegbi

Someone earlier said it's Clark Terry. It's possible, but I think it might be Harry "Sweets" Edison. It's a profile shot so very difficult to tell for sure.

[Bingo1059]

Any idiots having a seizure can do this.

[MrAxSAP]

@Bingo1059 Sure, if that person also is a fantastic singer with a great ear for music... And if he/she doesn't have a seizure, that would help.

[internet100]

@Possatboi 4 fans of justin bieber

[fargu1to]

@internet100 Maybe 4 people want to watch the entire song.. ^^

[pbj4toast]

ah, that was a spiritual experience.

[TheMojoBeat]

Sounds amazing, but retarded.

[eajsalzer]

@orvgg, scat singing is a technique often seen in jazz. What Ella is doing is using her voice as an instrument for the purpose of improvisation. In order to do that, one uses vocables (nonsense syllables). Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald are probably the two greatest scat singers in history.

"Negro" is seen today as an offensive term for people of African descent. "African American" is a better term.

[Bingo1059]

@eajsalzer I'm sick of people saying "negro" is racist. How do you say black in French? Noir. Is it racist to say Noir? No. How do you say black in spanish? Negro. Besides, don't they have the NAACP? Don't they also have UNCF, United Negro College Fund, Negro isn't racist, modern society just made it racist. And besides, you think this is "great"??? Anyone thinks this is great? Any idiots having a seizure can do the same thing.

[Bingo1059]

@eajsalzer Boy, are aren't too bright, I just remembered, When I lived in England we called them negros, You know why? Because why the hell would we call them "African-Americans", if we aren't even in America!!! It's probably the same rule in Norway, He's not an Norwegian-American, He is just Norwegian. The Afro-American thing only works in America.

[orvgg]

Hi I am from Norway and I be trying to learn the English language but I can not be making the sense of what these two members of the negroe race is saing, could you please translate what they is saying for me please

thank you very much, greetings from the Oslo.

[zekro84]

@orvgg As in the title, its called scat singing.

[MrAxSAP]

@orvgg Hon säger i slutet "jag kan inte ge dig något annat än kärlek" men annars sjjunger de bara slumpmässiga stavelser, det är det som är scat-sång.

[hotnovel]

@orvgg this is scat singing, they aint saying shit. You should know the english language if you have a youtube accout. retard.

[simplelife88393]

@orvgg You killed me with that hahahahah

[BeccaHennessy]

i hate seeing kids look down on a classic genre because hey cant understand how amazing it truly is. and in reality, five years from now the wont even be thinking about the music thwy think is good today.

[dannyayo]

It's like a pair of retards communicating.

[dannyayo]

WTF is this poop. Don't say it's classic, it's old, doesn't make it classic. It's random noises that people think they're cool because they listen to it.

[kelvinpyaeko]

@dannyayo you are clearly are a musical retard. dumbass

[dannyayo]

@kelvinpyaeko I'm clearly not. I listen to some very good music thank you and can play the guitar quite well. But this is not music it's jibberish. Although Ella has an amazing voice as you can see at the end Scat is awful.

[timestep19]

Three people listen to Justin Bieber.

[theOTTweirdo]

what the hell is this jiberish?????

[botijoupup]

whats the name of this song?

[Notstrongbow]

Ella proving that she was still the best......Scatting is improvisation......Ella may have scatted this song before, maybe not but not necessarily the same.....Wonderful!!

[Cubekid1212]

I like the epic head bop!! LOL

[BOT101st]

Me and my friend are a pro at this (Y)

[paijolatip]

And that's how they wet the microphone.

[SusanaNeves7]

@paijolatip LOLLOLOL



[KeithMuck]

Roger Shittaker.

[Hoobtastic]

who knew, nelson mandela could scat

[JTurner138]

@outlaw2747 I couldn't agree more!

[outlaw2747]

She has a voice! I think I was born in the wrong generation.

[mockbel]

WTF.. the lady plays the blues with her voice perfectly !!!

[wolverinex10]

That's what I called scat singing =)

[megaload2]

did they forget the lyrics?

[SpongeBobTardPants]

@megaload2 Hehe no. Scat Singing is when you make sounds of an insturment instead of singing. Like "Be doo be do boop shoop de boop"

The reason why people refer Scat Singing to Ella is because she was known as the best because she could sing at 3 octaves which is very difficult for most people.

[Sophi3andRozo]

@SpongeBobTardPants frddie murcury could sing at 4 octaves

[SpongeBobTardPants]

@Sophi3andRozo I completely forgot o_o

Still....they're freaking amazing.

[Sophi3andRozo]

@SpongeBobTardPants

yup!!

[testbug305]

@megaload2 lol you made my day

[internet100]

@megaload2 no, its the lyrics

[Scopio99]

@internet100 but that is the sound you make when you forget the lyrics

[TheWye]

@internet100 no, they Define the lyrics :D

[isctony]

@megaload2 haha, brilliant, obviously this is scat, but for comedy potential perhaps dementia singing would be appropriate!

[davemozart]

@megaload2 They're trading fours. I'd like to see some of the popular singers of today in pop, rock, etc mixing it with Ella with nothing more than a set of chord changes , just to see how they'd get on.

[fernandoiscrazy]

0:49 to 0:56 that was fucking crazy!!

[kittycatdoglady]

No one can scat like Ella.
