The only time I was fortunate enough to see Ella Fitzgerald perform was at one of her last appearances ever at the Hollywood Bowl, August 13,1992. They turned out all the lights, and brought her out. The lights came up and she was sitting in a chair, center stage. By this time, suffering from diabetes, she'd lost one of her legs (both by 1993). The house was packed. She opened with “A House is Not a Home,” and she talked a bit before starting. She said, "I don't know why people love this song so much, but I'm going to do it for you..." trailing off. Then, she started singing it, and it was just as good as she had ever done it. It was so great. The acoustics were good...The Hollywood Bowl is such an amazing place to see any artist. The orchestra backing her was awesome. The weather was perfect. At that very point, there could not have been a more perfect place to be on this earth. There wasn't a dry eye in the house. People were just watching her whole set with tears streaming down their faces, me included. It was a night I will never forget as long as I live. I still get goosebumps and a little choked up when I think about it or tell this story.

Dear Ella has always been my #1 favorite singer. She honestly has the most beautifully smooth voices ever. And, she is the only vocalist who could add jazz scat to a pop song, making it sound as if it was written for the song, and could pull it off with perfection! Several years back when Queen Latifah starred as Bessie Smith in “The Bessie Smith Story”, and did a jazz vocalist skit on Saturday Night Live a year or so before “Bessie”. And, it got me to thinking. So, I wrote an article for my old Facebook musical lovers group page, all about how Queen Latifah should play Ella in an Ella Fitzgerald biopic. She’s just about the same size, vocal range, buttery smooth voice that could melt even the Titanic iceberg! And, Queenie proved that she’s able to imitate other vocalists. I think she would be amazing. And, you are most definitely dead center bullseye on your comment!

The most important Voice in the world of jazz ever
@nickberry83295 жыл бұрын
Ask the musicians and they'd say that was Billie. Ella was fabulous but the beauty of her voice and her awareness of it sometimes gets in the way of the music. Not to the same extent as Sarah Vaughan, but nevertheless. She's too conscious or her skill and never had Billie's ability to possess a song - in a way that made all subsequent performances seem like covers of her version. Ella's was the most beautiful voice in jazz but not the most important.
@Castorp-wn7dh4 жыл бұрын
@@nickberry8329 Which musicians? I know many musicians (from Duke Ellington and Andre Previn to Natalie Cole and Peggy Lee) who regard Ella Fitzgerald as the most important or as the greatest jazz vocalist ever. Ella never wanted to posses a song because she believed a singer should serve a song and not vice versa - that's why she is a classical singer who will be appreciated in 150 years.
@nickberry83294 жыл бұрын
@@Castorp-wn7dh Well, Ella wasn't a classical singer, but let's leave that to one side. I have it from the mouths of Sweets Edison and Ray Brown personally, and Sinatra always said Billie was the benchmark. And unlike Ella, she never decended into scat, which is precisely the singer exploiting the song for his/her own ends (Louis being the exception that proves the rule). Cole Porter once publicly chastised Sinatra for messing with one of his melodies. No one served the song like Billie which is why she ended up owning what she sang in the same way as Nina Simone did. Another way of referring to that might be artistic integrity. Listen to both of them singing "I Loves You Porgy". Two different versions that both feel like truths. Ella was a magnificent singer but not on the same level as an artist as Billie or Nina. She was Renate Tebaldi to Billie's Maria Callas.
@Castorp-wn7dh4 жыл бұрын
@@nickberry8329Thank you for your reply and let me reply once again to your statements. With regard to St. 1 (Ella isn't a classical singer): if being a classical singer means going through classical vocal education (like opera singers), singing classical music repertoire or just being able to read sheet music, then Ella isn't a classical singer (by the way, Caruso and Pavarotti couldn't read music as well). If being a classical singer means representing an exemplary standard within a certain musical style or genre that is being universally recognised by connoisseurs and general audience, then Ella is a classical singer (the best example is her representation of the American Songbook). With regard to St. 2 (Billie is a benchmark): I agree but so is Ella, Sarah, Nina etc. Frank Sinatra said in 1959. interview: "Ella Fitzgerald is the only performer with whom I've ever worked who made me nervous. Because I try to work up to what she does. You know, try to pull myself up to that height - because I believe she is the greatest popular singer in the world, barring none, male or female" (keep in mind that Frank said this in 1959. when he was on the top of his vocal and artistic height). With regard to Ella's everlasting influence and importance, many modern pop and jazz singers recognize Ella as their biggest role model or one of the biggest (Adele, Lady Gaga, Lana del Rey, Kandace Springs etc.). With regard to St. 3 (Ella was exploiting the song for her own ends when she was doing scat): most of Ella's studio recorded songs were delivered without any scat. When she did scat, I would not say it was an exploitation of a song for her own ends, but an example of masterfull vocal improvisation, using a voice like an instrument rather than a speaking medium. You may like it or not, but scat is an epitome of jazz vocal artistry that enriches the vocal performance of a song by improvising the melodies and rhythm. If this is an exploitation of a song, then all jazz is an exploitation art. With regard to St. 4 (Bille had artistic integrity because she served the song and nobody did it like her): It would take a dissertation to explain what it means to serve a song and we would still probably disagree. However, let me quote Wynton Marsalis to give you just a glimpse of how I understand serving a song: "She (Ella) sang perfectly in tune. She can deliver a lyric better than anyone who has ever lived. She had a type of soulfulness you could not define - it was classic and pure. And that's what Duke (Ellington) liked". With regard to St. 5 (Ella was not a great artist as Billie or Nina, but "only" a magnificent singer): in my opinion, Ella was at least as great artist as Billie or Nina and probably even greater: (i) look at my previous replies to your statements; (ii) Ella was not only a great vocalist, but she could also deliver a song with great stylistic intelligence and emotional expression (you imply that a song performed by Billie or Nina feels more truthful than Ella's perfomance - this is a highly subjective opinion because very often I feel truth in Ella's performances more than I do in Billie's or Nina's). Ella can make me cry AND smile, unlike Billie who is not notorious for making people happy with her songs. By the way, why should we count only (or primarily) sorrow and pain as epitome of emotional expression, as some people who favour Bille over Ella often imply? Happines is also a very important emotion and it takes a great artistry to express it through your voice (maybe it's even more difficult when you had a somewhat miserable life like Ella); (iii) I can give you numerous examples where Ella performed the same song in a completely different manner (Billie and Nina did not have that interpretative ability because they were vocaly inferior to Ella); (iv) Ella started as a swing singer, moved to bebop, she sang perfect scat, was an extraordinary jazz vocalist and had no fear of modern material as the 1960s and 70s came along. From the Blues to bossa nova and calypsos to carols she imbued all with her unique voice, sounding forever young (Billie and Nina don't come even close to Ella's artistic diversity); (v) Ella won 13 Grammy Awards (20 nominations) and she still holds a single all time record: she is the female artist with the most recordings (8) in the Grammy Hall of Fame. I suppose it is a hommage to Ella's aristry not only as a mere vocalist (technician) but as an interpreter of great american songs as well. With regard to St. 6 (Ella and Billie are like Tebaldi and Callas): probably the only thing Bille and Maria have in common is the emotional covering of the lyrics (beside their miserable life and legendary stardom status). Ella has more in common with Callas than Bille: (i) Callas was able to sing very well different operatic genres (from Bellini to Verdi, from lyric to dramatic roles, from belcanto to verismo) because she had great vocal technique, just like Ella was able to sing different materials with a great authority; (ii) Callas had a beautifull voice (maybe not like Tebaldi), but I hardly hear anyone saying Billie has a beautifull voice, unlike Ella who univocally posseses one of the most beautifull voices ever; (iii) Callas was somehow greater than opera, just like Pavarotti, i.e. people who don't usually listen to opera higly appreciate and favor their performances. Bille never achieved an universal appeal to general audience outside the jazz genre like Ella did (she sold more than 40 million records). Why? Because Ella's voice has an universal quality and that's what also makes it a classical voice that will be appreciated in centuries to come. By the way, in 2015. BBC listeners voted the greatest jazz ARTISTS of all time: 1. Miles Davis, 2. Louis Armstrong, 3. Duke Ellington, 4. John Coltrane, 5. ELLA FITZGERALD, 6. Charlie Parker, 7. BILLIE HOLLIDAY etc. Because of all this (and some other things) I believe Ella has the most important Voice in the world of jazz ever. Billie? I believe she holds an honourable second place. Maybe someone can convince me that Billie AND Ella are two equally most important jazz voices ever (so far nobody did that, but I am opened to that possibility). But to say Billie is more important than Ella or to say that Bille is greater artist than Ella - I would strongly disagree with this statement even if Bille was my all time favorite singer!

@@Castorp-wn7dh Wow, thanks for the essay. If you mention Callas and Pavarotti in the same context, you don't get it. OK, think Hank Williams vs. Chet Atkins. Callas wouldn't be in the top 20 top female opera voices of all time for vocal beauty, but she had more influence on her art than any singer since Chaliapin. And if you believe polls, you'll believe that "Imagine" was the No.1 or No.3 best song ever written, depending on your preferred poll. But hey, I'm just a singer, so what do I know?

Part of what makes Ella Fitzgerald so great is the way notes get better as she holds them. Most singers hit a note and then it fades away, or maybe they'll add some vibrato to keep you interested. Ella _builds_, whether she trills or drops away or gets husky or does nothing. It's quite something. E.g. listen to 2:12-2:40 for her impeccable choices on how to continue each note! The best jazz singer and interpreter of standards ever. Not to take anything away from Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday, Karen Carpenter, Dusy Springfield, and today's greats.

One of the greatest vocalist of all time! There had never been a song written that she didn’t capture the very essence of music and lyric ! She should live forever through her style and voice!
