Ella Fitzgerald: Manhattan (1965)

Ella Fitzgerald live:
Manhattan

[@Sugarbehr1967]

This woman had the most incredible diction..every word was crystal clear...her voice was nothing short of perfect..rarely anyone has come close..

[@ronaldstrange8981]

Fabulous Ella. Still remembered and loved. England, April, 2024.

[@5850terry]

A level of talent and class that simply isn't seen anymore I count myself lucky for having lived when Ella did and for that matter the period between 1920 and 1970 or so produced music the likes of which we'll never see again.

[@sheilafess9938]

She could sing ANYTHING! This happens to my favorite song by my favorite female singer!

[@calvinjackson538]

The woman's diction is so perfect and clear. She enunciates words so perfectly it is so easy to hear exactly the lyrics.She is THE BEST!!! What a fine Lady of Song!!!

[@calvinjackson538]

Man! I could listen to this woman sing all day long!!! What a VOICE!!!! Music with lyrics like this are gone forever.

[@JC57515]

This is beauty. She brings tears to my eyes, for forty years

[@sugabayer]

Ella had the most perfect voice! There is no one out here today that even comes close. She was definitely one of a kind!

[@aurelfaustine]

I love Ella! she was the wonderful voice. these 9 people who thumbed down, is mad.

[@bhodges00]

What a voice. Love this song. Ella is awesome.

[@calvinjackson538]

A great lady singing a great song! What class and style! I am so glad I have seen movies and singers like her, old blue eyes and Gene Kelly. Thank God for the 1940's and 1950's!!!!

[@IngunnW]

I agree with you 100% Calvin

[@mauriciostarosta]

What a wonderful voice! Ella, you were a goddess!!

[@irmelitammilehto3167]

Mauricio Starosta If You are italian by language, I like to recommend You one of my greatest idols from italian baritones from s.c. light music: PATRIZIO BUANNE. He is that good. I like him more than Frank Sinatra. But i any way these artist (and the list is long) make the life worth of living.

[@miriamhausman2287]

What a absolute gem❤

[@user-ih5pt8kv9v]

BRAVO....TOUTE UNE JEUNESSE.. QUEL GRAND AMOUR , ME REVIENT EN MEMOIRE !

[@calvinjackson8110]

I just love it when she glides so smoothly into the part where she sings "...we'll have Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island too..." and the audience breaks into applause with happy recognition and memory of this old and familiar classic show tune written by Rodgers and Hart in 1925.

[@Suckyamother413]

[@fernmcgilchrist8633]

Here we are in 2020 and still listening to some of the best music ever written. Sung by the best vocal ever heard on this planet. Do you think we'll say that about Taylor Swift?

[@jimpratt5072]

one of her best

[@gabrielacruz4071]

Someday Manhattan, someday I'll have the pleasure to meet you

[@scottiemcfrugal239]

My first encounter with an American policeman: I'd just got off the plane in New York from Scotland. I saw a mounted policeman": "Excuse me" I say, "can you tell me where Manhattan is?" He looked down from high on his horse: "Your standing' on it buddy," he replied. 1964. I still laugh when I think of both me (naive) and his typical New York response. Ahh happy days!

[@mehdibukhari6898]

have you met manhattan yet?

[@maureen1938]

SUPERB.. Thanks for posting. !

[@alexdiaz4181]

[@BillDFC]

Superb....Ella is the best

[@pixelfascination]

What a song. What a voice and what a cool lady.

[@friendyadvice2238]

One of the very best!!!

[@peelerrosestudios]

Nobody can top Miss Ella, ever. I wonder what she thought about singing to rhyme "goil?" ...which is how the song was written. Impeccable.

[@stevecampin5361]

'Goil' is the real NY pronunciation of 'Girl'. An 'In' joke for New Yorkers....! Wonderful.

[@borjeskog7408]

What gift for musiclovers

[@scrumdiddly1]

Even her mistakes are charming. Bless her forever x

[@madalinadanila_piano]

26 people need help apparently :)

[@Kevin-1969]

Lovely

[@malvavisco10]

I know it's an irrelevant comparison, but just think of how times have changed...sweet songs like this back then, to "f-- them bitches" today. SMH, I'll take Ella any day.

[@soulshadoww55]

I couldn't agree with you more!!! Music today is pure trash!!!

@yasminx16 You're right. And she says it herself!

[@jarrettrichardson3153]

Such a Sassy Classy woman

[@4nnunaki]

Nicee

[@AxxisSlayer]

Tell me please what it means - "goil"?

[@startingline2880]

It is a humorous misspelling of "girl" to make it rhyme better. Also, this is the reverse of an earlier line that says "just made for a girl and boy"

[@AxxisSlayer]

Well, it was useful for me, thank you very much!

[@judyrifka]

Funny, because the "oy" substitution for "r"was popular NYC localization back in the day, often considered humorous.

[@chevychase]

It's "girl" as said with a New York City accent.

[@carloscross6686]

David game

[@phoenixphoenix1130]

I like cover by Zaucha:Andrzej Zaucha-Manhattan
