Wow! Such a beautiful song and interpretation. The torch was passed to Natalie Cole by Ella, Sarah, Nat, Frank, Carmen, Billie and all the other superstars of yesteryear. She killed this song and deserved a standing ovation.
They were all fabulous. Natalie is the best scatter alive today. She is truely from the Ella Fitzgerald genre. Natalie is elegent, classy, sophisticated, beautiful and talented. There is no genre of music that Natalie can't sing. They were all playing so well. Ella I am sure was so proud.
Oohhhhhh... this song gets me every time. I've seen it performed terribly (oh how painful) and, of course, I've seen the video on Youtube of Ella... oooooooohhhhhhhoohhhhhhh
The whole song throughout, I was expecting a sax solo (or interlude) by Wayne Shorter, but that loud and insensitive dabadobidabba was constantly interrupting Shorters tasteful playing :(
She did amazing justice to this song! I mean, she hit it JUST the way would have hit it. Not saying she's as good as Ella, However, I think any modern singer to do it better than NC.
Natalie is awesome. She is so talented and beautiful. Can sing Jazz, Blues, R&B, Pop, Rock, Gospel. What can she not sing. That is why her career has lasted over 30 years. This whole performance is great, all the players are simply brilliant. These singers today cannot touch Natalie with her style and grace. Thanks for the post.

This is a real and genuine singer...so unique and classic. Natalie Cole is one of the best singer the world has had so far...of course with our great Ella.
You Have To Swing It (Mr. Paganini). I saw Natalie and Patti Austin sing it live at the Ella 90th birthday celebration last June. I almost peed my pants. Those two need to record together.
Really interesting combination of players to back Natalie Cole at the Grammys. Considering how much each player is capable of streeeeetching time. Still sounds awesome!

I'm without words to describe this woman and her beautiful way with this song. I'm sure Ella would approve.

That a girl ms. Natalie!....... still got it crackin!

he he he he hehe you said crack-- I don't think she wants to be remembered for that anymore.
That was why her family was so mad at her using her Dads name/songs because for so long she was estranged from the family.
hehehe crack.
