The song itself was written by Rodgers & Hammerstein for the 1945 film "State Fair" and won the Academy Award for Best Original Song. Ella recorded this on several occasions, and none more touching than this rendition.

@Nocaro no prob. Thanks for trying. I've found she did arious versions of this song 1958, 59, 61, 62 (on album LP 12" MONO 'Ella In Hollywood' Verve V-4052. I wonder if this could be that one?

just enjoy it for what it is. I'm 25 this last year, and I'm sure many more will agree across the age's. The song is a classic (literally) ,the video shouldn't even be considered. The only reason there is a video is because of youtube. I'm not trying to offend you or your critique. You are accurate, though... it just seems unnecessary .

Interesting. The pictures show spring flowers. But, the song says "it isn't even spring." Also "I haven't seen a crocus" (an early spring flower) "or a rosebud or a robin on the wing" Rosebuds & robins are seen from early spring through late autumn, so clearly this is a song for winter. It's not spring but....I have spring fever. Yes, you can feel this way in the winter. No problem; It's the perfect midwinter song.

This is such a woundful song, Why should you care who wrote it. i'm white as the snow and this lady is Great

The glory of African Americans is their musical ability. Such as Ella's voice.
This song was written by two white dudes. Rogers looked like a banker or CEO; Hammerstein looked like a high school principal or university athletic director. Hopeless squares. But Hammerstein had a genuine gift for saying corny things without offending the mind or ear. I thank my God every day for having given us Richard Rogers, the American Puccini.
