Ella is Queen but I agree that Bety Carter owns this song! Watched Barbara Striesand do a god job with it over the last few days but again this one is Betty Be Bop"s!!1
She has the most beautiful voice and this song really shows that. I have heard that she inspires a couple of famous artists, one including Selena Gomez and she says that Ella really shows what a singing is about.
Its difficult for me to choose between Ella and Sarah, but I think this just edges it as my favourite rendition of this song. Such beautiful phrasing and tonal colour, and the lyrics are first class. A jewel from the golden age of American popular song.
be-bop betty carter owns the best rendition and most creative improvised changes on this classic---ella and sarah are goddesses of song but so is Ms carter
Great song. My sister used to work for the Landesmans at the Crystal Palace in Gaslight Square, St. Louis. I got to see them and their milieu, with my own eyes. The title of this song was inspired by the line "April is the cruelest month."
no one ever sang a ballad as beautifully as Ella

Ella's BEST rendition of this song was on a live performance for Dutch TV 1974. There was a video of it here on youtube. Wonder why they took it away
