@IntuitionDigression Comparing Ella with Billie is like comparing a chocolate mousse with a chilli con carne - what's the purpose? They're both so different and so unique. Let's just be happy they both existed and enjoy them both!!!

@ChimpsInTuxedos It's funny that you mention the Twilight Zone episode because that is what sent me here to check out this song. The one on the Twilight Zone is very similar to this one. Now I'm going to have to become a huge Ella fan.

@alyoucha That's true!

@baybpi if u wanna become a Frank Burns Fan-M*A*S*H--Season 1-There's an Episode called "Dear Dad Again......-In the Episode, Frank gets Drunk & when Trapper tells Frank "Go to Bed Frank-Its Quarter to 3" Frank responds singing "There's no-one in the Place...." If U Want 2 see it U have to watch it uncut on DVD because most Syndicated copies of that episode that scene is edited so we can be boared by some idiot comercial about colon cleansing.But then all syndicated episodes R!Chk Out T-Zone!

@alyoucha Thats the way to do it!!!Good attitude!

[ChimpsInTuxedos]

as far as if Billie or Ella did it better, we're all entitled to our opinion! It does not make one a heretic to like Ella over Billie other wise I better see a priest! Some people like Pepsi,some like Coke! Thats the great thing about America-Freedom of Choice! Lets be proud and protect that Freedom!!---RICO

here's trivia for ya-Beverly Garland does a short version of this tune in season 1 episode 13 of the Twilight Zone-the episode is called "The Four of Us are Dying" Its only sad that she does one verse or so and does it quite well-See if you can get a copy of the DVD of the show and let Me know what yo think-I sent this to you because the Ella version is very good! Thanks-please let me know what u think of the version on Twilight Zone(My all time favorite Show)Rod Serling walks with Giants-RICO

@IntuitionDigression Idiot.

@skorecki7 Billie Holiday's version is unparalleled. Please, do not be heretic

[skorecki7]

from ella's better and most stylish record comes this lavish version i've treasred for years: it's infinitly better than billie holiday's (though i a have an infinite love for lady day, that i place hundreds of miles ahead of ella) ... only two singers have done it better: frank sinatra (live, 1962 is my favourite version) and 1943 bing crosby in hollywood ... i've wanted o post this song for years, you've been quicker
