This is a Masterpiece recording ! This was a song from the theater written by George Gershwin.They did an wonderful album together. Two American Artists who are treasures . Ella was just the most perfect vocalist. . Louis Armstrong just the most beloved musician of his time . Nickname- Satchmo or Satchel Mouth for the way playing the horn extended the cheeks )

2 legends. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@SG-js2qn]

Louis Armstrong, 1901-1971. Also known as Satchmo, Satch, and Pops. This is jazz, like you'd hear in one of those swanky clubs with the big band. Louis ("Louie") was a famous New Orleans / American performer for about 50 years. He was there for the peak of the jazz era. Began his career playing on a Mississippi steamboat and in assorted brass bands. Charismatic and loved. Ella Fitzgerald, 1917-1996. Known for her special tone, skill, and scatting. Debuted at 17 at the Apollo Theater's amateur night. All kinds of accolades in her long career.

👍👍Awesomely awesome. Two legends and American treasures. 🖖❤

Another great performance by this magical duo is, "Cheek to Cheek"....

Miss Ella was a beautiful lady with a voice of an angel. There's a video from a tv special in the early 80s, where Miss Ella does a medley of songs with Karen Carpenter. To watch it, and know the history of the two, makes it feel like Miss Ella was passing the torch of Best Female Voice to Karen, as Miss Ella was quite up in age. Tragically, Karen passed away just a couple of years later. Its an amazing thing to see.

2 LEGENDS!!! Louis was playing the trumpet at the beginning. There's a great version of Summertime that Ella sings live worth checking out.

[@ronturner9850]

These two, separate or together, are simply superlative. Much to find out about them so off you go and please start with their presentation of Dream a Little Dream of Me.

Class act 👏👏 Another Louis Armstrong " Hello Dolly "

[@davisworth5114]

Louis hated that song, listen to "When It's Sleepy Time Down south", his theme song.

[@thomasmarrone7181]

😅This song nearly 90 years old. Check out "Porgy and Bess", written 1935. George Gershwin composer. This sweet sweet lullaby is from the opera. And never pass up a chance to hear Louis Armstrong!

[@58fcorley]

Oh, wow, you have chosen a great one. Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong were just phenomenal. This is not swing, but pure jazz.

[@leehallam9365]

It's really a trio here with Louis not only singing, but playing the trumpet solo at the beginning. It's a wonderful world is his best known song, but its one where he just sang.

[@ocheltree1]

You play more Ella & Louis, I'll be here! Thank's!!

[@Prone2Thrill]

Nina Simone - The Pusher (Made famous by Steppenwolf and written by Hoyt Axton)

[@valhowe1950]

Thank you. Yes they were amazing, so sad music today just can't stand up to that standard.

[@arl1958]

Thank you for this

[@Scsibut]

If you want to see Ella do her thing check out her doing old MacDonald had a farm on The Ed Sullivan Show I think you'll like it

[@frankiebowie6174]

As if Ella’s singing ever needed subtitles 😝

[@davisworth5114]

You can know by this that "Black History Month' is a total flop when one of the greatest musicians of the 20th Century, Louis Armstrong, is a virtual unknown among young blacks. Louis in his prime was a much better singer, listen to the stuff he recorded in the early 30s, (Rare Batch of Satch") and marvel at his brilliant trumpet solos. This is of course, a George Gershwin classic, and I feel it is over-orchestrated. And check out Sidney Bechets' instrumental version.
