I mean. She just got up there and sang Stevie Wonder (which is hard to do) with no rehearsal and killed it!!! No one can do it like Ms. Ella Fitzgerald. She was gifted and a vocal beast.

I can't watch this without tearing up. A master at her craft, and one who took care of her instrument. The lack of smoking and drinking are so very evident. At this late stage in her fabulous career, she still sounds beautiful and youthful!!! Again, a true master at her craft. Thank you!!

I cannot thank you enough for uploading this. It's so hard to watch her perform because I kept on getting emotional about it. Here we have a grand old lady of music, so humble, salt of the earth! Is there or will there be any one close to her? NEVER! See the way she appreciates new talent! How meek and polite of her to remark that singing is the only thing she could do! The world could learn a lot from her. Since I never got the opportunity to meet the grand Dame that she was, I can only hope to kiss her feet in the after life. I don't care if I'm too young to listen to her and not that shallow Justin Beiber for I have her on the pedestal in the shrine of my memory.

Her voice was in serious decline because her health was in serious decline. She did a lot of flawless singing in her prime, but she was no longer able to do it by this point. She had already had open heart surgery, was nearly blinded by diabetes, and would within a few years have both legs amputated.

@baritonebynight Жыл бұрын
@@direfranchement Nobody's singing is ever flawless. Every singer has weaknesses and they become more apparent as they age. In the case of Ella, she was smart enough to know how to use her remaining resources to be able to perform well into her 70s when her health was in decline. This performance wasn't bad...its no pitch, the voice has plenty of blume and she is able to make it her own. Her voice remained youthful throughout her career....and when the support started to go and the wobble began to develop...she would move instead of sustain the note.

There are some...but not many. Gladys Knight is 76 years old and her voice has changed very little over the years. Operatic legend Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, best known to the non classical public as the singer of the wedding of Charles and Diana, sang in public until she was 73. The Italian Soprano Magda Olivero gave her final public performance at age 99. So there are some..but not many.
