i loved them first bluesy note, so soulful, in unexpected.! That was some of Aretha's trademark soulful 'licks'. I sometime wished she could've gave us, some more of that bluesy style, but kept her original style as well. But her style is, and will always remain untouchable!
running out of superlatives to describe ella's superb performance. she sang so brilliantly live, always, wherever she was. A big thumbs up to the drummer as well, great efforts!
Can anyone direct me to the concert she had in Berlin in the late sixties where she forgot the lyrics to Mack the Knife and ended up making up the lyrics?
That's on the album "Ella in Berlin" from 1960. AFAIK there is no video footage from that concert. The song was "Mack the knife" There are some later life recordings of this song on Youtube where she does sort of the same.
i have seen her live twice---some people should not ever die ---her voice should be a religion===+

Ella could sing the names in the phone book and make it beautiful. Another key to her success is her backing musicians. These guys are kicking ass!
