Ella Fitzgerald - These Foolish Things (Live! -1957)

Ms. Ella is simply the best... Her control is remarkable... I aboslutely adore this woman and her gift. God sure knows how to make 'em... I'm humbled everytime I hear her sing - Simply Gorgeous... I believe this is the BEST version I've heard thus far...

I dont know anything about jazz. I just love this song because of a touching book. I think you two guys' arguments are so lovely~~ :p

I know it from a Hong Kong love storybook called "那些傻事......" by 鄭梓靈. that brings me lots of tears. I can't let it down~

A cigarette that bears a lipsticks traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you

A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant
A fairground's painted swings
These foolish things remind me of you

Great lyrics by Ira Gershwin!!

ETERNAL!!!

Sensational.George Gershwin's favourite singer of his songs.I'm sure that this was the opinion of many other composers.

Ella is the best of the best! The Queen of Scat and the Queen of Jazz. Diction, phrasing, emotion, range, beauty all Ella presents in every song she sings. She is genius and the definition of brilliant singing!

Oh, so ever true. I saw her live in conert in 1972 or 1973 with the Tommy Flanagan Quintet, featuring Joe Pass, in Hamburg, and once again in the later 1970's with Oscar, in Frankfurt. What a hell of a woman. Awesome!

Right on.
The voice of an angel. If singing like this doesnt move you your already dead.
