  • Obrigado! presente divino

  • is it joe pass in the guitar?

  • 7 people need to seriously rethink their view on life...

  • How can anyone listen to Ella...and then say Billie Holiday can sing. lol

  • @daToinado Ella and billie are two diferents worlds my friend

  • no suggestions on the side bar... clearly i've come home.

  • Goosebumps ladies and gentlemen, goosebumps.

  • probably these seven people have been deaf to hear such garbage daily... but at least the majority keeps appreciating good music and the beautiful and irreplaceable voice of Ella

  • Nr. 1 ever. Ella.

  • dislike this is dislike music general

  • Beautiful voice, beautiful song <3

  • I just adore how Ella Fitzgerald can manipulate her instrument; voice. Simply perfection to me.

  • i wanna cryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyy

    cry cry and cryy

    her voice is just amazing

    bravoo Ella =)

  • Can't understand how can 7 persons dislike this?? Are they under drugs??

  • @ukelelito Who cares if they dislike it...not every-one will like every-thing...It doesn't matter. Personally, I just adore it.

  • who dislike this!??? :S

    she is perfect :)

  • love her voice

  • So sweet...

  • This is fantastic...

  • perfection.

  • Soy fan de esta señora!!! Viva por siempre!!

  • once m0:00re please...

  • who can dislike this?

  • Her voice is so soothing/relaxing. Such a beautiful voice. I'm unwinding right now. I love this song.

  • Duke's definitive definition of Jazz as an expression of organized chaos...like the human mind always in chaos as defined by the organize presence of its soul. Only Ella understood his expression and put it to words for us to try to understand his continence.

  • Had one of the best and most passionate slow dances of my life earlier to this glorious song by this grand lady, and I just stopped in to hear it again and remember. Ella is the ultimate personification of class, beauty, grace and talent. She blesses us all with her music.

  • there should be a picture of Ella right next to the definition of class.

  • This version is from that show  with Joe Pass? It's wonderfull!

  • @mariartful yep! gotta love joe pass :)

  • @jazzysteffi

    yep, I love Joe Pass. I wonder if Joe Ella and Buddy Rich ever recorded together. I know the earlier Ella was with Buddy, but I can't think of anything with the three together. How about you?

  • @AriM hmm, not that I know of... but I bet it would sound amazing!

  • I love Ella! unreal I can never get over how awesome she was/is

  • This is ultimate sentimental words and music.I rarely listen to it except twice per twenty years......It always meant something for someone I didn'yt know yet I thought,so I was superstitious not to play it.Perfect now though Its worth it to play and so fine. tonight......

  • Just... wow.

  • Loveliest!

  • were can i download this?

  • Incroyable voix de Mme Ella, une icône des années, et vous savez très bien

  • @Yeevvooihon lol

  • @Yeevvooihon GREETINGS MY STALKER.

  • Comment removed

  • You must hear Nancy Wilson's version!

  • It is songs like this why Ella is a TRUE LEGEND !!!!

  • I really miss Fitzgerald. In the days of radio, her voice was even more precious. By the radio, your mind could engage with her in a way that tv doesn't allow. Thank the stars for YouTube!!!

  • wow, i feel so bad for the 5 deaf people.

  • All-right!!-- 300,00th view!!..my 9th, I think-- it's no wonder I've watched some of her videos 30 and 40 times-- her ability to approach and interpret the melody...just unmatched-- I was lucky, my Mom played this (and Glenn Miller, the Dorsey bros., Louis and Duke) when I was a kid....I'm constantly discovering more and more of her stuff...I'd like to suggest Wes Montgomery to you other YT listeners, who might enjoy instrumental/guitar Jazz.-- the same high level of beauty in his music...

  • this is the most beautiful thing i have ever listened to

  • The stilness of my heart has a secret. It is an empty stage that I fill with music as beautiful as Ella's.

  • Perfection...golden spun silk. This is what I want to hear as I leave this life, to remember the beauty that humans can create in this world

  • There are no words. She and the song speak for themselves and stand alone in their greatness.

  • Very great tone quality while connecting phrases. Also, great range while changing keys.

  • she is a legend.........

  • Who's the geetar player? Does anyone know?

  • 5 people should die

  • SENTIMENTAL MOOD- ELLA FITZGERALD

  • Maravilhosa!!!

  • i had no idea this song had words..... omg. I am in love with this song all over again. Now I must learn the words so I can get my serenade correct!!!!

  • nice guitar work from barney kessel

  • o now that was just mean! it stops before she's done?

  • One of the finest songs, and finest singers, that I've ever experienced. What I wouldn't give to be in a smoky Manhattan jazz club in the 50's, pretty girl at my side, nursing a whisky and listening to her sing live...

  • I would love to see Erica Badu redo this song, she's the closest thing we have to the old day soulful singer. This is an excellent recording and I enjoyed hearing it.

  • @gigolo25 I say Ledisi is the one for the job!!! That girl is JAZZ and I hope she stays that way.Jill Scott and India Arie should do some standards as well but I feel you on the Erykah Badu because I love her myself

  • which albym was this recorded for its wonderful

  • thats a really understandable , so sutch good music

    them dont do music likes before

  • Haniff played this so good with his quartet man alive!

  • Maravilha de cantora.

  • She's so fantastic. What a voice... and this tune is wonderful.

  • Best female voice EVER!!!!

  • Amazing...such excellent vocal quality. Jazz singing Master's class for me.

  • priceless, gotta love it :)

  • so happy we are playing this at jazz band mpa

  • She is so awsome we studied her in band we are actually playing this sone right now :)

  • I hope she felt very pretty. Because there is nothing more beautiful to me. Thanks Ella.

  • beautiful woman beautiful sentiment definitely missing from todays music

  • nobody sings this like ella =)

  • Great tune. Great Ella. Coltrane did this one several times.Try Jimmy Heath's rendition featuring flute. My ear makes that version the best

    mood on In A Sentimental Mood.

  • That guitar is so pretty, this song is just sooo beautiful

  • Breath taking. Ella is more than a voice. Is sensitive, confidential and talented.

  • Does anyone know what album this is originally from? This post says its from The Complete Ella Songs Book, but I'm looking for the original.  HELP!

  • perfection

  • increible, que voz, maravillosa

  • That is pure voice. That's singing. One or two instruments and a voice that you can hear nice and clear.

  • wonderful to hear Ella sing this song thanks for sharing

  • Barbra Steisand made a TV show called Barbra Streisand and other musical instruments, or something like that. I think Ella Fitzgerald is the true musical instrument. Stunning....

  • I quit smoking a while back, and this is a more than adequate replacement...a slow delicious burn.

  • @nmac121 I wanted to comment but it could not be said better than you put it.

  • @nmac121 NICE!

  • @nmac121 I was a kid when this was recorded, perhaps not even born, don't know. But during my 20's I used to go jazz clubs in the Village, just to listen to great singers, smoke cigarettes and drink wine. I glad I quit smoking, but this song describes the mood perfectly.

  • If heaven exists, Ella is surely the soundtrack for any days spent there. |¬)

  • @wordreet Why "if"? You just had a glimpse of it.

  • @trajan75 Hah! Good response.

  • @wordreet : Indeed!

  • darling.

  • For me, Ella was the be all, if not the end all, of vocal instrumentation. She is credited with being the inventor of scat singing, and I can't think of a vocalist over 40 who doesn't site her as an influence. The younger ones site people who were influenced by her as their primary influences. Let's not forget to mention the honey-smooth-sweet guitar stylings of the great Joe Pass on this recording. The two of them were made for each other. What a blessing it is to hear them on this lovely song.

  • A voice like a nightingale!

  • ella ella under my umberella

  • Sus encuentros con músicos de jazz, dieron lugar a discos y grabaciones memorables. Las colaboraciones de Ella Fitzgerald, con las orquestas de Duke Ellington, o Count Basie, los tres discos que grabó con Louis Armstrong, o sus álbumes con Oscar Peterson, Tommy Flanagan, o Jimmy Rowles, acompañada por su trío habitual, son autenticas obras de arte.

  • amazing...simply amazing

  • You don't have to like Ella to appreciate Ella. You don't need to like Ella to appreciate music. Her contributions are clear, but that doesn't mean she's some kind of be all and end all to music.

  • How can someone not Love Ella?

  • HOW?

    Six reasons to not love Ella:

    1.) You are deaf or dead

    2.) You don`t know her

    3.) You`re a racist

    4.) You have no clue about singing

    5.) You`re an ignorant idiot (2, 3 ,4)

    6.) You think Grace Slick is a good singer :-)

  • So..you love her..right?

  • alot :-)

  • I love your list!

  • jajajajaajajajaj thats true ...... ella is soooooo awesome

  • I love you Ella

  • p.s. that was a reply to reverent1993
