this was **fifty eight years ago** makes me wonder if any of today's singers will be listened to in 58 years time and be this amazing

[@Ozymandi_as]

She's so unassuming between the songs, introducing her next offering with a simple name-check of the composer. One would think her shy, and perhaps she was, until she starts to sing - and then she is fire. Her pitch, her rhythm and her phrasing are immaculate, her tone is gotgeous, she can swing for days, and it always seems effortless.

[@alanmansfield664]

Fire is a good description. In command of her wheel house. I wonder to myself if at this time she was coming into her power, her peak, that her work with trios during the sixties and seventies was art. I think the Joe Pass performance is art. At her peak with nothing to proof.

If someone ever asks me - who has the perfect voice - the answer is Ella for women and Frank for men. Unequaled in control and pitch perfection.

[@finch45lear]

Her voice is so crystal clear. Just gorgeous.

[@sherrybirchall8677]

The girl form Ipanema is from Tom Jobin not from Stan Gets ... Sorry.

[@vova47]

I wonder how many people watching here know that Tommy Flanagan at the piano is at least equal to Ella as a jazz musician. (IMO, way superior)

[@bubbaclark4355]

Nobody does like Ella

[@joseffinat966]

Waarom zou zij dan om moeten treuren ,als dat mensen zijn die haar niet mogen of zelfs het vertrouwen schenden ? 😥
