she does it with so much ease as well... truly is incredible.

[@plebcrabslayer]

My mother was in the first row at one of her concerts, and shook her hand after the concert was over. Mom's boss, also in the audience but in the balcony, saw that. The next day at work, he walked all the way over from his office to her desk. He asked her to stand up. She stood up, puzzled. He held out his hand. She reached hers out and he took it and shook it firmly and said, “I just wanted to shake the hand that shook the hand of Ella Fitzgerald!!”

[@chrisofmelbourne87]

Omg wowwwww! What a story

[@dagmar.6954]

Ella is such a jazz legend & performed for over 6 decades. She was known for her purity of tone & scat singing. Love her version of "Summertime". She had a great solo career but also did quite a few collaborations with Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington & The Ink Spots. Some of their hits were "Dream A Little Dream Of Me", "Cheek to Cheek", "Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall", & "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)". This is timeless music that has endured for decades.

[@newsense2435]

such a classy treatment of this song... so deliberate, cuz she could have belted this out and it would still be extraordinary.. wow

[@chrisofmelbourne87]

Agree yes! 100%

[@madreyad6573]

1st lady of song - confirmed.

[@dagoelius]

_"When I get Low I get High"_ is my favourite of Ella's catalogue.

[@laurabuer4714]

Oh, I love, love, love Ella. I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Gene Harris when I was performing vocal jazz when I was in high school. He tapped my shoulder when I was waiting to go on stage, and had a brief but sincere conversation with me. One of greatest moments of my life, to meet one of my heroes, and he got to hear me sing her song.

[@Joshualuv13]

Absolutely superb..really doesn't get much better than this legendary amazing singer .

[@geniej9093]

The GOLD standard.

[@my2wins]

That was delicious. I’ve always loved Ella, but had never heard this song. Beyond incredible.

[@user-ru6vb7ii5h]

Ella was voted #1 in 'The Top 50 Jazz Singers Of All Time', with Sinatra #2, Nat King Cole #3 and Billie Holiday #4. Angelina Jordan pays special tribute to Ella's songs 'Summertime' and 'Every Time We Say Goodbye', doing the greatest covers of them I have ever heard.

[@meni8015]

Just beautiful. Love this song and Ella is a Legend ❤

[@philunderwood8553]

Also: when the drummer shows up with tiny little wisk brooms instead of drumsticks you know you in for a treat.

[@anthonybailey1227]

What a wonderful voice you have! You should be proud. God bless.

[@melissatomlin13]

I grew up on Ella. By the time I was 12 I had her A train scat ( From live 64 recordings) down…not at Ella’s level but how else to sing it?????

[@Nevelepride]

Iconic lady! 👌❤️

[@kathleengarwood7379]

Thank you for that, she could do it all

[@lisalott4236]

Beautiful.

[@anotheryou218]

If you haven heard Ella's version of begin the Beguine then now might be a good time.

[@ffximasterroshi]

Ella is a legend. Great reaction. Would love to hear your reaction to the late and great Miriam Makeba, aka Mama Africa, an absolute icon of world history. Either "Mbube (live 1963)," "Pata pata (live 1967)," or "Jolinkomo (live 1967)."

[@chrisofmelbourne87]

Omg so Glad you mentioned Miriam!!!

[@chrisofmelbourne87]

I am going to request a song from her in the near future. 😀

[@francesmarinapatarangawhik4702]

The Mood - captivating, classy, just beautiful...🌷☝️🤓 Peace.

[@chrisofmelbourne87]

100%! I would have loved to have been there.

[@redangel169]

The immaculate Ella!

[@NIJEECAPRICORN23]

First to comment. I saw Ella name and I said I got to watch this right here!

[@chrisofmelbourne87]

Have you see this amazing rendition? I requested it. Amazing!

[@NIJEECAPRICORN23]

@@chrisofmelbourne87 taste!!! I really enjoyed it. Nice pick.

[@chrisofmelbourne87]

​@@NIJEECAPRICORN23haha thank you. The world has so many amazing female voices. Ella is in my top 20 for sure, probably top 10.

[@NIJEECAPRICORN23]

@@chrisofmelbourne87 most definitely!! You're welcome.

[@pma613]

Class act🌱💛

[@MsCheesemonster13]

Thank you for that. 💛

[@walterlippmann6292]

ella can do everything

[@RaySawhill]

Nice reactions, very informative. Fun to enjoy your chops too.

[@tobeski]

There's a famous story about Ella's friendship with Marilyn Monroe - Ella was playing small jazz clubs and couldn't get a gig at the Mocambo in LA. So Marilyn phoned the owner and said if he booked Ella, she'd turn up every night and sit in the front row with celebrity friends. He booked Ella, and MM was true to her word, bringing along Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland and others. Massive publicity, run extended, Ella's career was never the same again.

[@comedyriff5231]

These old jazz singers were just on another level.

[@brgilbert2]

Not really disrespectful!! I do recognize the voice but putting a face on it--wow!! It almost sounds like Tony Bennett and I know he knows Ella and I believe he has even performed with her. I believe, whoever this person is, meant it to be a compliment.

[@AP-gb3eh]

Ella was a queen a perfect voice but to add some names to your list .Try some Dinah Washington and Lena Horn ,Peggy Lee

[@chrisofmelbourne87]

They are nice but not in Ella's calibre, sorry.

[@jimwalter480]

Don't forget the Empress of the Blues, Bessie Smith.

[@brgilbert2]

@@chrisofmelbourne87 Geeze!! Of all the ridiculous statements!! You should have added for me!!!!!!!!!!!!! You probably live in the backwoods and NEVER heard of Sarah Vaughn or Helen Forest or Doris Day or Billie Holiday or Bessie Smith or Dinah Shore or Kay Starr or Jo Stafford or Judy Garland or Jane Froman or Kitty Kallin or---wait, I'm forgetting those vocalists from Great Britain like Vera Lynn and European continent---. Like I said, "for you"!! If you had I wouldn't be posting this and and listening to you declaring, "I have no taste in music at all".

[@SunShine-qk4rb]

I love this song so much but I don’t know what version I first heard.

[@anthonybailey1227]

Also, check out Sarah Vaughn. The other female master.

[@FionaEm]

Only 1100 views?! What is wrong with people? Ella was absolutely incredible 😍 ❤

[@redbandita020]

Please do her How High The Moon from Live at the Deutschlandhalle, Berlin 1960. Her scat solo is sublime.

[@theyounggentleman3969]

Ella is from Yonkers, NY, think Ruff Ryders DMX, Jadakis, Mary J , Steven Tryler all from the same hood

[@5850terry]

Sinatra said she was the best in the world.

[@plebcrabslayer]

0:37 And the what? 👂 _Continence?_ (Look up continence, lol.) It's "cotton," brother! 💛💛💛

[@sugarspice5888]

He said "cotton is" because the lines "and the cotton is high"

[@walterlippmann6292]

I like you. You're cool. And I'm racist!

[@Mary-ji4dc]

I love her but she looks higher than a kite.
