  • Check out the version by Topsy Chapman.

  • Don't get me wrong.. I LOVE ELLA, but Bessie Smith version is much better

  • @3Glimpse3 o how wrong you are sir :) im joking. I heard this from when i was like 7 and only just listened to bessies version. This one sticks more strictly to the melody and it feels right to hear this version. Bessies just made me want to listen to this recording... literally just now :D peace x

  • @lsdvine It's true what you say, but that's because Ella is more melodic, she really sticks to the rythim, but Bessie's version is more relax, more free, feels more real to me, she really gets to reach deep into my soul. And... I'm not a sir, sir :)

  • There is less than a handful that has impeccable diction. I've listened to her for years, and she still touches my soul. Thank you for sharing this jewel.

  • Outstanding! The only singers that can do this song justice these days would be Nikki Yanofsky or Zooey Deschanel. I wish there were more singers like Ella today.

  • she did a great job on this song. you should also check out the bessie smith version.

  • Love her voice so much!

  • Like this song.:)

  • Gillar!!!
