In reading the comments I see that people around the whole world enjoy Ella's music . I used Google Translate to read the replies and it amazes me where people around the world are listening to her music. They listen in Russia, Norway (where an 84 year old man has enjoyed her music for 70 years) Korea, Portugal. Spain, France, Italy, Mexico, S. America and more. She is gone but her music still is alive.

[@AngloCatalanProf]

I'm not very sure whether I get the gist of your message: there are well'learned people, with refined tastes all over the world. And Ella's voice is just what they would listen to. And music is a universal language. As variety goes, let me remind you that South America is a third of the American continent and stretches from Venezuela down to Argentina, with many countries in between, with extraordinary differences in their histories and their cultures. Most of them were Spanish colonies centuries ago. But, I'm afraid that's the only real feature they share. To put them in only one category would be a mistake.

We have such racial issues in the USA. What would happen if Ella's music was being listened to by everyone, whatever "color," or race or nationality, and we all declared, "Wow! We don't need to fight and be so angry. We just need to play this album for everyone to hear. Peace at last. By the way, I'm a blue-eyed blond old Swede/ United Kingdom DNA'er. Does it matter? Ans.: Nope. I like that my name, Ellen, is so close to hers. Oh, yeah, I'm a singer, but there's where my similarity to her comes to a screeching halt!🙃 Feb. 2022, and we're all sick of COVID-19. Let's not take it out on one another, Friends. Laugh. Dance. Sing. Listen to Ella.

You will find less racial news/tension if people would pay less attention/belief in the talking head commentators whose agenda is too obvious to comment on.

You have the right idea..music is the universal language for the soul..and the iconic records are timeless..people are really very much the same under the skin, biologically, hopes. dreams, fears, its 2023!! The whole system wants labels and groups..the left, the right, the rich, the poor, black, white...their control wouldn't be possible if we all were united hand and hand...PEOPLE!! Not this group, or class or negative label is made up to control that group!!! Like the legendary MJ said it starts with the man in the mirror

Ella was a bit before my musical time, but as a musician, I listened to a LOT of music, I played by ear so could learn anything I heard. Ella could do it all, and in perfect pitch, great range and, she always did the intros, which is something many artists did NOT do! The intro sets the scene for the lyrics and Ella knew that! She's about the only one who consistently sang the intros. Later on in his career, Tony Bennett did that also. I have numerous favorite singers, but Ella Fitzgerald reigns at the top of them for many reasons!
