Ella Fitzgerald - This Time the Dream's on Me

[vlovesrafa]

I discovered this song about 20 years ago.It was the final song in Harvey Fierstein's "Torch Song Trilogy".And i am so glad that i did. Even though i wasn't familiar with the song,i recognized Ella's incomparable vocal right away.She had one of the purest and most beautiful voices,ever.

Few could sing like Ella.

This is absolutely lovely. I was always more of a Sarah Vaughn nut, but listening to these Ella gems onYouTube I'm expanding my horizons. Wow~

Thanks for posting

I love Ella. Just when I think I've heard the best version of this song I listen to her and it's just perfect. Alison Krauss does a wonderful rendition as well definitely worth checking out.

[Brennna]

Beautiful.

[mrshiggs1]

TY for posting this. Ella's vocal is superb. Would love to see Tony Bennett's version on youtube. Until then, thank you for sharing this lovely classic.

Thank you Harold Arlen -- for writing such a beautiful song. And Happy 106th birthday to you (2-15-05 - 4-23-86)! I'm sure you're still writing incredibly great songs in heaven.

[Nattybri]

Ella's warm and sophisticated style go so well with Mercer's poetry.

[CantaBossa]

i am back to this one... her version is the very best... i never tired of.

[5850terry]

When I'm lying in some hospital breathing my last I hope someone shoves earphones in my ears, turns on my Ipod and lets me go out with the voice of this enchanting woman carrying me away.

[CantaBossa]

how beautiful...

[digh20]

[stellartunes]

[dzjinji]

Did The Four Freshmen ever do this one? If not, they should have.

[damone77]

"Twelve Nights in Hollywood" with Ella from 1961 and a set from 62. All  you Ella fans out there; you won't be dissapointed! She's at the top of her game as she is here! On of my all time fave melodies by Arlen and lyric by Mercer!

Music by Harold Arlen

Lyrics by johnny Mercer.

[locojazz74]

is this song in the soundtrack for "The Torch Song Trilogy" movie?

[frodo08830]

@locojazz74 Yes, Alan called in the radio station to play it for Arnold, but they mispronounced Alan's names as Ellen in the introduction. Later, Arnold's adopted son David called in the same song to be played on the radio station for Arnold.

Oh how sweet!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!

[essexlph]

The first time I heard this wonderful song was in the movie 'Blues In The Night' as sung by Priscilla Lane. I fell in love with it then and my love has never strayed since. Ella does a great job. Thank you so very much for posting it.

[paulito97]

I was ten years old when this was recorded and my mother to play it on the record player when she was helping me get ready for bed. I loved it then and I love it now. Thank you. And in Stereo!!

[vlovesrafa]

Absolute perfection.What beautiful tone and phrasing.Ella is and always will be legendary.

[MattieSongbird]

No singer today can make me feel like being in love. Ella is a the best.

[LUVTheMotels]
