HELLOGIGGLES BROUGHT ME HERE

In the last picture, Sir Duke is totally captivated by her. That picture has fascinated me since I first saw it. The look on Duke Ellington's face is how I feel about Ella and her music, her creative spirit, her voice. Ella's voice was and remains one of great wonders of the world, yet its sound is from somewhere beyond the coil of mortality. Hers is a sound thats purely human in its primal expression and yet paradoxically supernatural in its transcendent perfection.

17, and totally agree! Perfect song!

I am 15 and I must say Ella Fitzgerald has real class and style.

[Dior4im]

wow her picture with Marilyn jst made my day...lovely

[bolder2009]

@Dior4im "I owe Marilyn Monroe a real debt. It was because of her that I played the Mocambo, a very popular nightclub in the '50s. She personally called the owner of the Mocambo, and told him she wanted me booked immediately, and if he would do it, she would take a front table every night. She told him - and it was true, due to Marilyn's superstar status - that the press would go wild. The owner said yes, and Marilyn was there, front table, every night." - Ella Fitzgerald

[Dior4im]

@bolder2009 Ella's songs bring such a peace and joy to me within and the ambience... From now onwards I shall always remember Marilyn at such beautiful moments to make them just more beautiful

[bolder2009]

@Dior4im "The press went overboard. After that, I never had to play a small jazz club again. She was an unusual woman - a little ahead of her times. And she didn't know it." - Ella Fitzgerald

[Dior4im]
