I've always felt a kinship to the words of this song, whenever I've heard it since I was a child, I had to stop and give it my full attention.. I love Ella singing anything anyway.....lol
You have breathed life into priceless memories of my mother's constant singing, on and off all day, no matter how bad things got. Ella's songs formed a major part of her repertoire. THANK YOU!
This was the first and (IMO) the best of the songbooks. The criticisms I read of it refer to the dated arrangements. These "dated" arrangements (the muted trumpets, woodwinds, etc.) give the album its charm and are exactly what I love about it.
Definately the best version of Begin the Beguine, Oh to have a voice that smooth, always was my mothers favourite song and I can picture my parents dancing in the living room every time I hear this song
Ella, sooo smooth perfect phrasing,captures the feeling of the song, builds to a false crecendo and then nails it with a killer trumpet style reprive on the last few bars of the song.
Thank you mom & dad for playing Ella in our home when I was a kid. I did the same to my children. I know Ella is with you two in heaven still entertaining.
@Zoso666 Yes you are right. It was Ira Gershwin. Ira Gershwin was personally involved when Ella recorded the Gershwin song book. She recorded the definitive song book of all the great American composers of its golden era.
"Whatever she does to my songs, she always makes them sound better." -- Richard Rodgers
@TheRealman42 No it was Ira Gershwin. Zoso666 was refering to the quote by Ira, "I never knew how good our songs were untill I heard Ella Fitzgerald sing them."
Ahh the wonderful Ella Fitzgerald. She was so smooth and easy on this song. I just love listening to her sing (anthing). She was one of the greatest of all times in my opinion. She really has such a beautiful voice. Thank you Nocaro for posting this.

@Zoso666 no, it was Cole Porter-although they were similar composers who both produced music that is classic and timeless jewels. Peace.
