Ella Fitzgerald - Mack The Knife

Rare live performance

[@fluffkiss18]

Bow down to greatness. Pure joy.

[@rainingsunshine25]

For someone who sang the blues, she always had such a smile in her song. So much happiness in her voice. Like she just felt so wonderful to be singing. So happy to know of her music. 💛

Her Majesty, The Queen of Jazz!

[@alpheusmay243]

Wow it just gets beter every time I listen to this

[@sunnyskye1106]

Oh I miss Ella Ella and her Fellas.

[@alanwitton5980]

Fantastic! She was absolutely amazing

[@FittyfittyFitz717]

Beyond amazing

[@chitsb]

Ella improvising is such magic 😍

[@rustyhornzinstrumentalist-7596]

AWESOME!

[@mamtarajbhar4947]

My my I am out of words 😮😮😮😮😮😮❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@tonydurham721]

When she goes all gravelly you think she's hit the top of her range. But no, it's just a Satch tribute, and she's got a couple more keys to go. Amazing. She just owns the song.

[@chitsb]

Tony Durham see I never even knew Louis Armstrong was called Satch/Satchmo till I saw this comment. I feel better educated now :)

[@EdwardRobinson15580]

Tony...I couldn't have said that anymore ACCURATELY sir. She's the BEST!!!

[@lucky4724]

Swing Ella Swing!!!🎤🔥🔥🔥🔥🎼🎵🎶

[@rolandobenavidesponce9104]

Ella fitgerald una vos única.

[@massimosigismondi699]

She was an excellent singer, full of voice, class and elegance. Moreover she could do the impressions of some her colleagues. Very nice and difficult song. Artists like these will never come back again

[@1mespud]

Love it when she adlibs through her "Satchmo" mode.👍

[@khabbad]

Incredible!

[@edranetz]

I really wish I had gotten to hear Ella Fitzgerald and Bobby Darin singing "Mack the Knife" together.

[@jacquesvanpoppel1622]

[@GatorGirl04]

Phenomenal performance! Ella's swinging but shout out to Tommy Flanagan on the keys! He's holding court masterfully on this tune too!

[@user-hy8xh8wo1w]

やはり見ても、楽しい歌いっぷりですね。

[@user-hy8xh8wo1w]

汗を、拭きながらの、歌いっぷり大物の、醍醐味ですね。

[@vicnegrin]

Fantastic!

[@NorthernBoyErmintrude]

I cant quite put my finger on it but ella fitzgeralds voice has such a zest / fizz to it? Someone may come up with a better one word answer and i would love to hear others describe her voice in one word. 🤔

[@Gwen3344]

In the comment section of another video (Ella Fitzgerald's Signature Singing Style, Explained By Jazzmeia Horn), @juancpgo wrote: "Ella expressed joy, warmth and strength. There's a mother quality in her voice to me. It's an interesting contrast to Billie Holiday's broken voice who expressed vulnerability and rawness. The voice exposes the personality behind it." One word from what Juan wrote (mother) in its adjective form (motherly) embodies the special quality in Ella's voice, and what I experience when I listen to her. When I listen to Ella Fitzgerald, I feel deeply nurtured.🥰 *Motherly*, Cambridge dictionary definition: treats other people with a lot of kindness and love and tries to make certain they are happy. (BTW, I don't have any idea who juancpgo is.)

[@superflower78]

I love you, Ella! ❤

[@rogercurtis9876]

Wow!!

[@christianecoutinho8994]

Maravilhosa!

[@asahmed1980]

Class all the way. RIP Ella. 😁

[@gracielabravo6707]

Meu disco favorito, Mack The Knife. Todo muito bommm.

[@user-hy8xh8wo1w]

両腕の汗を、撫で落とす場面も、歌同様滑らかですね。可愛いいです。

[@UnderGroundOldSoul]

awesome.....

[@carolint379]

Brilliant ❤

[@aliasfred]

Awesome singer always loved her singing. Has anyone ever heard Natalie Cole sing Route 66?

[@carolehabab]

Magistral 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@selectahhrecords]

I like this version better than the one where she didn’t remember the lyrics

[@bob_the_bomb4508]

I don’t know. The Berlin performance was something special…

[@rodolforojas7950]

Bobby Darin was playin the bass.

[@ppablo6972]

Amoooooo

[@gracielabravo6707]

Boa parte do meu bom gosto musical devo a minha amiga Adri que espontaneamente foi grande influenciadora. Sinto muita falta.

[@user-hy8xh8wo1w]

これは、やはりすごい！型にはまってない。

[@sixthousandblankets]

Her imitation of Louis Armstrong is funny.

[@hervecostille2435]

C'est bien la First Lady

[@thecat600]

Is that Bobby Darin playing stand-up bass at 3:17 ?

[@jacquesvanpoppel1622]

[@user-fy5ty5zx9m]

悪の教典から来ました。三文オペラですね！日本の人いますか？

[@Divocwax]

This looks fake. It's not the actual performance of Ella doing her great Mack The Knife in Berlin. You cannot find that anywhere in YT. I have the audio and it is truly great.

[@jacquesvanpoppel1622]

This is Stockholm 1963
