Loved Ella Fitzgerald voice . No one can come close to her singing . So relaxed and beautiful . .

[@RobertDeMartin]

Magnificent! So smoooooooooth. Beautiful. Harri, Ella is the 'one and only' and there is one particular singer who I would like to hear her sing this melody as a tribute to Ella. Angelina Jordan.

[@williamdemerchant7295]

A beautiful voice accompanied by just as beautiful orchestration, especially the bass. As Harri said, perfection.

[@BaronessErsatz]

Ella was the best interpreter of Gershwin.

[@reallymysterious4520]

The true Queen of Song !!!

[@davebzen795]

Stephen - Paying homage to the immortal Ella Fitzgerald's talent and influence to music, especially Jazz. She is one of the greatest vocalists of all-time. Bravo to both you and Harri. 👏👏

[@jackcotner8981]

Such wonderful, smooth voice! Great talent!

[@bjm9071]

Gershwin and Ella Fitzgerald - perfect together!

[@stj971]

Ella and Louis, perfection!

[@dsusan17]

One of the most beautiful voices ever recorded. Great reaction Harri 😊

[@FaceManBuddha]

Ella, the One and Only. Namaste Brother🙏🕉🌸

[@rosemarywatson1231]

Ella has the most beautiful voice. Sarah has a voice that is beautiful as well.

[@debbiechang5781]

Great choice Stephen. Ella’s voice is like velvet and silk. Thanks Harri and Stephen 🌺✌️

[@larissahorne9991]

Gershwin at their best with Ella's incomparable voice.

[@user-xl5hk3te9s]

Nothing like Ella singing Gershwin. She was the best. Period.

[@wealthwithoutwages]

If your 6 year old daughter likes Ella, you are obviously raising her right.

[@HarriBestReactions]

Thank you 😁😁

[@knarf_on_a_bike]

My dad played her records all the time when I was a kid, so I kind of grew up with her. But I didn't come to truly appreciate her until I was around 45 (I'm 67 now). Miss Ella is my favourite vocalist bar none. Thanks for another great reaction, Harri!

[@jamessullivan5860]

Late 50’s or early 60’s my aunt brought me the Ella Live in Berlin album. Listening to her sing live and interacting with the audience made her more of a real person. Still have that album, my favorite.

[@Ctkare4k9]

And to think,she went to the Apollo theater’s amateur night intending to dance,but the sister pair that went on before her were dancers that Ella thought were better than her…so she sang! I treated my mom to a concert when Ella was near the end of her career and her eyesight had gotten so bad that she needed to be guided on stage. But let me tell you,that voice was as clear and beautiful as it was on those 33 r.p.m. albums my mom would play on our hi-fi back in the 1960’s when I was a child! And now,hearing this voice always moves me to tears just because it’s all memories now. I absolutely love Ella Fitzgerald!❤️❤️

[@Lakeshore14]

This is beautiful. Her voice is just so soothing and calming. No one sings like her. Thank you Stephen and Harri for this musical gift. 👏👏❤️🇨🇦

[@tonkabeanpumpkin-fh4fz]

Your little girl has remarkable good taste! Ella had a voice like silk. One of the finest singers of the 20th century, and what an interpreter of lyrics. Wow.

[@rubyswaim1441]

Thanks to "The Ed Sullivan Show", I learned to appreciate Ella Fitzgerald. ❤

[@robertfindley921]

God, what a voice! Anything like it today? I don't think so. Thank you! I'd love to hear Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo or Demi Lovato try to sing this. No autotune. It would be hysterical!

[@AP-gb3eh]

Her voice is perfection and it’s best when she makes you really wait for it . Orchestration is gorgeous too ☮️

[@Cynthia...]

No one sings quite like Ella, such a great voice. Thank you Stephen and Harri.

[@mcasualjacques]

ah we can just sit and listen we know the voyage will be pleasant

[@iraidaacevedo3723]

Talented and classy lady💖🌷beautiful song♥️

[@d.j.starling3559]

One of the most beautiful voices ever heard!! One of my favorites by Lady Ella is How Deep Is The Ocean. Just gorgeous!!

[@ericarachel55]

She is a classic, I remember her doing a commercial back in the '70's for Memorex cassette tapes with her voice breaking a wine glass, her voice was one of a kind

[@taragreenetarotastro]

I get chills

[@markhardwicke5345]

Recordings like this one were done for the "mainstream" (white) 50's audience. Some were more musically sophisticated, but this one isn't. Ella's voice was a Ferrari. Recordings like this one keep her in first gear. The Ella Nelson Riddle Gershwin Songbook Recordings offer generally better treatments of these amazing songs

[@ok-qt4kr]

Top of the Top Shelf .

[@scapito]

I'll never forget the first time I heard Ella's voice... I was shopping at a record store 25 years ago and she was one of the employee picks for that day... stopped me in my tracks when they started playing her record. My favorite female vocalist of all time.

[@reginaldfigueroa4570]

She was one of JOHNNY MATHIS FAVORITE SINGERS BESIDES NAT K. COLE. BY THE WAY PEOPLE OUT THERE LISTEN TO JOHNNY MATHIS VERSION OF THE SAME embraceable you.!

[@scapito]

@@reginaldfigueroa4570 💜 Nat King Cole is in my top male vocalist.

[@paxonearth]

My God, did the woman ever sing a single note that was the slightest bit flat or sharp. What a gift

[@scapito]

If you haven't seen it yet, check out Ella's version of How High the Moon.

[@jesterger]

An incredible voice. Whether live or Memorex, she was unparalleled!

[@stephenqualtrough7322]

Thanks Harri. This was superb

[@cshubs]

She's arguably my favorite lady singer. Either Ella or Cecilia Bartoli.

[@casparwhittey]

I LOVE how diverse your taste it. I just went from first aid kit to muse to ella. Such a journey with you Harri I freaking love it. Your such a unique reaction channel - hitting all my favortie bands but I just know I'm going to find a ton of new music through your vids. Appreciate you!

[@paulward1799]

I'm thinking your daughter is a genius!

[@mcasualjacques]

you know you were saying you could listen to her sing all day, well you could get a collection of her CDs and on a sunny Springtime 2024 day you play them all day

[@mcasualjacques]

bet you'd have more than one day worth of material

[@maggynewtown3500]

Chick Webb, the big band leader, was looking for a singer. One of his associates brought Ella to try out. Webb wanted someone cute in a low cut gown and wasn't even going to listen to her. Imagine if he hadn't been persuaded to give her a chance.

[@taxiscratcher5935]

I have this album..it plays on 78rmp, and my player won't play it. I inherited from my mother, along with some others, a couple from Japan..as my step-father was stationed there during the Korean war.

[@vickilee7494]

There is a documentary on her on you tube amazjng

[@rickriekert866]

Dancer Norma Miller reminisced about Fitzgerald's debut live performance, in Harlem in 1934, as a sixteen-year-old hopeful on the Apollo Theater's Amateur Night. “We booed her,” Miller said. “Can you imagine, we booed Ella Fitzgerald?” And then the girl started to sing and the booing stopped. “We heard a sound, I’m telling you,” Miller said. “It was so perfect. She shut us up so quick you could hear a rat piss on cotton.”

[@kltan7261]

I prefer Ella with the backing of a small jazz combo...

[@robertsterner2145]

I consider Ella the greatest singer ever, but IMO Sarah Vaughan's version of this on her album with Clifford Brown is just a bit better (and i rarely think that's true because, although Sarah had an undeniably remarkable voice, the arrangements and production were odten below her level of excellence). Still how xan you fault Ella with a Nelson Riddle arrangement/orchestra singing Gershwin? It's musical heaven.
