She was one in a billion.

Unforgettable!

If Angels sing I imagine they have voices that sound like Ella.

Took my parents to see her live years ago. We had such a great time. Mom was in the beginning stages of dementia. She sang along and remembered every word. Good memories !

Thanks
was fortunate enough to see her at the Dorthy Chandler in L.A. at the Pablo Jazz Festival in 1975,
Basie’s band and Joe Pass, Oh My.

Wow. Would've loved to see her and Basie's band live.

Have you seen the DVD of them in concert from 1979? Here's an up-tempo number from it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnREJbPIXqg
