Few artists stand as the very definition of the art they
practice, but Ella Fitzgerald is one of them. No jazz
singer can avoid being influenced by her, or at least
taking into account the monument of her work.
Fitzgerald didn't have the darkness of Billie Holiday, the
bravura of Sarah Vaughan or the acidity of Carmen McRae,
but what she did have was a suniness, a childlike joy and a
classic command of her craft that audiences picked up on
right away. Originally influenced by Connie Boswell, she
also swung like mad, and was one of the few singers revered
by jazz instrumentalists. Her scat singing, which soared
through a three-and-a-half octave range, was flexible,
creative and a sure crowd-pleaser.
Fitzgerald's career spanned 60 years. Born in Newport News,

------ About artist/band Ella Fitzgerald
I'm doing a history report on Miss Ella. I started out listening to her music, which had a big emotional impact on me. I enjoy listening to 'A-tisket a-tasket' and 'Cry me a River'. She is very inspirational person, and I'm happy to be doing a report on her.

------ About artist/band Ella Fitzgerald
Ella Fitzgerald was the first lady to sing jazz music she was a beutiful and young lady every one admired her. She was born on April 15, 1917 and she passed on June 15, 1996. This was an emotional moment for some people. She got two divorces because both of her husbands were very disappointed because she would never be home but if she was she would be making music.But til this day people are doing research and projects on ella fitzgerald because she was very special and she admired everyone. She loved all of you.
Thank you! | Reviewer: Rosa
------ About the song A-tisket A-tasket performed by Ella Fitzgerald
I was searching for these lyrics for ages, but none of the ones I found had that other verse, so I am very pleased I got this!!
:D
This song is so much fun to sing!!
In saying the best of Porter, I am, of course, saying the best of the best. I am 88 and have beena Porter devotee for 76 of those years, Although not on the same level as "Begin The Begin" o "Night and Day" "Let's Do It" has always been my favorite. It is magnificently clever. The 3 linnes starting with "In shallow shoals English soles do it" are Porter at his very best.
THE STRENGTH AND DISCIPLINE ELLA USED TO EXECUTE THIS STRENUOUS TUNE WAS AMAZING. SHE LIKED TO SING 4-5 "A " SECTIONS WITHOUT STOPPING...EACH ONE IN A DIFFERENT STYLE......SUPERB....FH 2006
That's pretty much all I have to say about this song. Cole Porter was a great songwriter and I think this is one of his most brilliant songs. Does anyone, however, know where I can find a copy that says that people in Japan, chimpanzees in zoos, etc do it?
