- Ella Fitzgerald, with a studio orchestra conducted and arranged by Buddy Bregman. From the album "Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Rodgers & Hart Songbook" Recorded: August 1956
Even Sinatra was in awe of her. What does that tell you?
She can't sing this song as good as Barbra Streisand
@@scottmartin9499 You are entitled. I just listened to Barbara. A couple of different versions. And I respectfully disagree. To be fair, i really am not a big fan of Streisand. Great voice, but i don't care for her over styling. Just like Celine Dion. Great talent, but their style is not my taste.
@@dallisb1047 that's just it, Barbra always changed the style, like "lover come back to me" "down with love". But anyway, nice chattn with you.
I don´t know if God exists, but I know at least a Goddess
Your comment touched my heart. Thank you.
The fact that such beauty, e.g. music, exist is evidence that a God who is perfectly beautiful also exist.
Okay so no one's gonna talk about the awesome Piano playing?
Bestial...por un momento pensé que estoy en 1944
It's up to you then, buddy!
That is what is so wonderful about this genre. The music can because of the extremely masterful musicianship. Her vocals are nice too!! Only my favorite.
I'm a retired voice teacher, and my mother worked as a radio and nightclub singer, so I can offer an authoritative opinion ; ) --Ella is the best popular singer of all time. Beautiful tone, excellent diction, perfect intonation, and perfect phrasing, along with a warm personality. Plus she could swing. I can't think of another singer who brought all these qualities together in quite the same way. But a few came close. Nat King Cole, Rosemary Clooney, Peggy Lee, and Sarah Vaughan come to mind....
My wife is an opera singer, and she agrees with you.
I know squash about music but, my soul speaks directly to Ella’s singing.
❤😊
Teena Marie..
"I've sinned a lot. I mean a LOT." That line always makes me laugh, the way she sings it adds to the humor. I love this song, it's so vulnerable and Ella's voice is downright dreamy.
she says "I'm mean a lot". However, yes, she's amazing
@@CatsandThangs double entendre
@@sarahparker5418 Yes. And the next line is "I am sweet 17 a lot " .. and later " I worship his trousers a lot." A bit of single entendre happening there as well.
Ella and Frank are the greatest I have heard in my 66 yrs on the planet. Am wondering how the line " And I worship the trousers that cling to him " is received these days?
@@saamegan2985 Well, I personally love it, always cracks me up. It's the subtlety of it, and also cleverly crafted words which makes you really imagine.
Please do recommend songs which are lyrically similar. I would really appreciate it.
The English language doesn't have enough superlatives to describe this woman's voice.
Listening to her sing is actually physically , mentally and emotionally uplifting.
Amen 🙏🏼🌹🍃
What a beautiful voice,what a wonderful woman's Heart who knows exactly about love, eaven if its hurts !life IS life with pains and hapiness...
Heaven, I'm in heaven
And how does she do that when she sings the word "and"
That's a rhetorical question
And those lyrics, I have never heard all those lyrics before.
The song is from the show
Pal Joey
@@elizabethmatz4356 Indeed, you don’t hear the originals anymore; they have been somewhat “sanitised”: “I worship the trousers that cling to him” wtf? Different times.
@@petergrudzinskas7154 That line made me rewind the video to make sure I heard that right. lol
Her voice is like silk
I call it cocoa (and please don't "racist" me. :))
Like warm honey...❤
No. Silk, Cocoa and Honey are soft and smooth like Miss Ella.
The world was lucky to have Hart and Rodgers. To have Ella as well simply proves there's a God.
My god her tone was so pure it could cut diamonds. Never get tired of listening to The First Lady.
I feel the same. So sweet, it s like magic
She recorded more than 4,000 songs in her career! Has any artist ever left a greater treasure for the world to enjoy?
No. Well said.
Several Indian ones.
Oversexed again
@@gerriepieters9033 I'm crying 🤣🤣🤣
I dont think so
She sings this with so little apparent effort that it's easy to underestimate the skill it took.
zolluuu ooh
zolluuu that’s a very good point
Skill, yes, but also blessed. You can't teach what whe has
THAT'S ONE ASPECT OF AN ARTIST; TO MAKE THE DIFFICULT APPEAR EASY.
A master .. or mistress always makes things look easy
Wait...did she just say "worship the trousers that cling to him" ......Priceless
Lorenz Hart
There's alot of explicit sexual lyrics in this version! Compare this to Barbara Streisand or Sarah Vaughn's renditions. Those are tame ;)
She just sang it as i read that comment, lol! What a great song
"horizontally he is at his best again...."....:D
Yes
I've been listening to Ella since I was a little girl in the 50's and 60's. My jazz artist parents would play her LP's and I would stand right in front of the big walnut hifi speaker and just absorb the vibrations from her. IMO, there is no other vocalist past or present (and I've been closely listening for close to 60 years) who can even stand in the same room with her. I think she dropped down from another planet.
She dropped the Mic 60 years ago!
I hold my new baby boy to my cheek and slow dance round my house listening to Ella, he deserves to soak up this perfection from day one. May Ella and jazz live on through each generation and may her talent never go unappreciated.
Ha! Ella is a Goddess, but that is so for she comes from an era of true artistry and experimentation. For example, Sarah The Divine One.
Manhattan
Her voice captures both mind and heart - She's music.
Yes she's music but also poetry
Listening to her vocal, your soul would follow her
А я по русски напишу. Это Божественно. Если бы она жила сейчас, как бы она нам лечила наши, изкалеченные современной эстрадой души❤
I came here from The Crown... and wow, how awesome to hear Ella, a true legend! Flawless!
Awesome dear 👏! She has a soulful voice this is my favorite song 🎼so tell me are you a fan of Ella ….?
@@TonyCruise-jh1ru I do love Ella Fitzgerald. My mum and dad loved her music too and I'm grateful that this magnificent lady has been immortalized on RUclips.
@@naomibartlett662 Oh yes, she has been Immortalized on here, that’s so true. You talk very nicely and seems very much easy to get along with. I hope you’re keeping sound and safe. How are you feeling today, Naomi?
@@TonyCruise-jh1ru I'm very well, thank you. And how are you? I teach English and write in my free time, among other things.
@@naomibartlett662 I am good also ,oh really I see to that anyway are you a die hard fan of her
This arrangement is flawless. It supports Ella's voice and adds atmosphere while staying in the background.
My father (RIP) was a professional pianist and this arrangement reminds me of childhhod; when mum was cooking Sunday roast and dad was playing piano in music room.
Fond memories of singing with him before he died. Had a childhood filled with music.
@@LadyLyndhurst01 You're fortunate to have this beautiful memory.
@@jamesmcinnis208 your so wright
@@petermuir7146 Sank cue.
“Horizontally speaking he’s at his very best.” How raw and honest. Love her.

😁
When everything didn't have to be said in a blatant way. 😊
Riiiight?! LOLOL! 🤣 Back when dirty talk sounded articulate.
Yes! But those lyrics are from Lorenz Hart, who was brilliant.
we're talking about
his foot, right?
Over the past few years, I've come to the conclusion that this is the single greatest vocal performance ever recorded by anyone, anywhere.
i'm very close to thing the same!
I can't think of anyone like Ella. She doesn't need over-the-top big band orchestrations. Just that pure voice, that understated emotion, that perfect, patient phrasing.
Sarah Vaughan perhaps? Her live performance of the song Misty is magical 🔥
Both are 2 halves of the devine feminine.. ❇️
2021 and still feels amazing. Timeless, talented and forever is she
Christina: I got Ella’s autograph following a ‘56 concert in Mpls.. she was alone on a concourse. Imagine, no entourage.
@@cdcooper1000 Cannot even imagine being that close to her. What a thrill. Thanks for sharing.
Today 17 december 2021 year .I like Ella ! Listing.
Ha I see what you did there. Agreed...am I. Yeah yours is way better. Ella is sublime.
Flowin with Ella… she shared the best of humanity with us❤
Ella Fitzgerald = The warmest and most beautiful voice ever!
THIS!! I love how warm her voice is☺️ so comforting❤
Let me make this clear. This is a very difficult song to deliver live and and Ella does this to perfection as smooth as silk. Not many artist's even today could master this as you need total control of your breathing, timing and being pitch perfect. This is talent This is real artistry and real singing not like today's modern artists
Listing to this song in 2020, to remind my mind of the good things.
This is such a beautiful song, there is so much kindness in her voice it makes you happy and sad at the same time... I had tears of joy while listening to this...
omg....yep...same here
Perfectly said! ❤
Yes that is me
Me too
At July 2023, from Argentina, I am delighted with her voice and charm. God bless her.
I saw Ella Fitzgerald live when she came to perform at my college. I feel so glad to have seen such a legend in person. I will never forget it.
Awesome 👏
She have a soulful voice!
This is my favorite song 🎶 so tell me are you a fan of Ella..?
I think this might be the most remarkable thing I have heard in my life.
I've loved Ella for years, and this is one of her all time best performances. She is nonpareil.
I agree, Ella wasnt a singer, she was a phenomenon!!!!!!
Gone With the Wind by Ella.
I have to always listen at least 3 times... Geezus, that voice.
WOW she 👍🏽 so good
Who came after the crown? Beautiful song! ❤️
Her high notes, low notes and everything in between are with perfect clarity having such a large octave range. Wonderful singer for so many years.
John M . the thing I find so amazing of this rendition is that Ella never rushes, never is in a hurry, impeccable diction, right up there with Victoria de los Angeles.
A clean and pure tone. So very lovely
Awesome
John M jun ngu
A really lovely, unobtrusive vibrato, too, which she wields with discretion.
Bewitched bothered bewildered... listen carefully to how she delivers each of these words. She adjusts her shading to phrase each word with dead-on sentiment. And she does it throughout the song.
Ella Fitzgerald was head and shoulders above all others. And they all knew it.
As long as there is time, this song will be always beautiful.
Fatma, you seem to have a great taste in music!
The lyrics tear me apart.
Lost my heart, but what of it?
He is cold, I agree.
He can laugh but I love it,
Although the laugh's on me.
"worship the trousers that cling to him..." Good almighty love...
and to think, Richard Rodgers, had them both, How lucky Mr.Rodgers, was, I have no doubt that both Hart and Hammerstein, found Mr Rodgers, a great Composers.....
The Broadway 1939 lyric as originally written was even more hair raising...and has been revised ever since--
"Lost my heart, but what of it?
My mistake, I agree.
He's a laugh, but I love it because the laugh's on me."
Yeah man, this is one of the things I miss most about that bygone age. The ability of lyricists like Lorenz Hart, Ira Gershwin, and so many others to write lyrics that were sophisticated, thoroughly conversational, yet completely true to the very particular emotion being painted by the composer. The first half of the twentieth century was a heroic time in American song, truly a golden age.
Matthew Hubbard so I listened to this for the first time when I was 16 and in love for the first time in a British film called the history boys. But it only featured first half of this song. only now, 15 years later; I listen to the second half: “wise at last; my eyes at last; are cutting you down to your size at last.” This woman was a goddess
Ella's music is never dated. She's the gold standard for all the others. Just listen.....perfect!
Ella's version is 7 minutes plus, but with her beautiful voice, you would want it to go on forever. Undoubtedly the best version of this beautiful song. Everyone who has had a one sided affair with a "half-pint," can identify. The best description, as written and interpreted is wry, and acceptance without regret.
Brilliant voice no one has yet replaced her and never will.
wow! Got to double check and I didn't even notice it.
Hear hear!
@@davidandmaureenfarrow2727I agree.
Perfection.....Ella knew what was required whenever she sang. Who, today, can match this beautiful lady's voice or performance??? Answer - no one......
When I listen to her voice, I feel the meaning of life, I feel that I live.
Today's music pales in comparison to this woman's voice and style!
Sarah Vaughn is in the same league as Ella. They are the two best female (jazz) singers in history. Carmen McCrae was also great; also, Betty Carter was pretty good.
La voce di Ella è una voce assolutamente unica e diversa dalle altre cantanti di colore, seppur altrettanto brave.Se chiudi gli occhi ascolti una voce cristallina e bianca. Questa cosa mi ha sempre impressionato.
@@rossellapirina383 No, I don't hear a "White" voice. The timbre of her voice is still "Black". Sarah Vaughn sounds slightly more White, than Ella.
Pretty well said! Same here.
“And worship the trousers that cling to him” that made me lol this is such a great song, great singer too, truly amazing.
The way she sings the words is just unbelievable. The way she pronounces them, how musical she is, its unbelievable.
I know right, it's beautiful. Modern singers lack that quality so much
A "Love interest" from 2006 has texted me the Cher and Rod Stewart rendition; I listened to that 6 times and their intonation and vocal quality is Kindergarten compaired to Ella's. I'm glad that I've found this rendition - now I know my true gf's message 👍 🥰 💋 ❤
Her diction (and of course, vocal range) are pure perfection. Man, were we lucky....
Ella Fitzgerald is the antidote.
direfranchement Seconded.
Doctors once
Prescribed a tonic
Sulphur and molasses
was the dose
Didn't help one bit
My condition must be chronic
Yup! U got that right ~🎼🎶🎹🎶🎵🎤
Not many songs of today manages to rhyme 'dyspeptic' with 'antiseptic'...
Very Cole Porterish...
@@tmcgill2219 More like Larry Hartish...
reminds me of the strange and wonderful rhymes of Joanna Newsom
@@humphreyblogut672 You nailed it. Interchanging words and wicked double entendre was Richard Rodger's first lyricist's specialty. Porter borrowed that trick from H art--not the other way around. Lerner (mentored by hart) borrowed it in My Fair Lady--"Budapest..Never met a Ruder Pest.."
What exactly does that mean though?????
Healing?
A perfect example of voice as instrument.
I like your profile picture! 😉
The greatest female singer ever in my opinion. She was awesome clear into her 70s. Pure honey streaming.
This is probably the best non operatic performance last century - a big call. A big call. This rendition is exquisite and impeccable. Has everything: tone, timing, intonation, phrasing, enunciation, interpretation etc. There are great other performances by Ella with These Foolish Things being up to this standard too. Let's not forget the lyrics by Lorenz Hart - fabulous. He even wrote his insecurities into the song. Richard Rogers' haunting melody is wonderful too.
This is spot on, Allan! First time I ever heard this, I had to hear it multiple times in a row immediately for those reasons you mentioned. I was almost thinking, do ppl know about this song?!?! Lol. The more I listened, the more those things just blew me away. How can a humans voice DO that so perfectly?
Thank you for expressing my feelings about this song and Ella's magnificent rendition in this great comment Allan.
I would agree. Everything is perfect in this and no wonder it is one of my Dad's favorite songs.
Thanks for the Lorenz Hart credit, I was about to Google who wrote the lyrics. Lovely articulate review, thanks
Agreed. I nearly fell off my bike when I first heard it - a tape a term was what I could afford, and it had to be Ella, and it was the Rodgers and Hart songbook, and reaching college, reached the line about the trousers ...
It's so ironic that there are "subtitles" for this, probably the best-articulated performance of a song of all time.
60Singing there are some of us who are trying to learn new languages, and music certainly helps our purpose.
+60Singing you should change your way of thinking. Subtitles = extra help for non-native speaker (edit) and for people with hearing impairment
She was perfect.
Ella's diction was always on point.
So was Frank Sinatra's diction @@mrlopez-pz7pu
This song is truly hers. What a masterpiece.
SUBLIME. Had to stop in my tracks and listen to the whole song because my ears demanded it. Her vocal intonations were mesmerizing and enveloped me. She is the creme de la creme, the cat's pyjamas. The lyrics are too funny. Total enraptured beauty, that's Ella and this song.
That is true ,the tunes plays over and over in my head for days sometimes ,she is the greatest of all time ,I really do enjoy listening to Ella ❤
This song is my Holy grail of songs.
A master at work. She makes every song sound easy.
agree
Agreed
How could anyone listen to this and hit the "dislike" button? Apparently, some people don't appreciate raw talent when they're exposed to it. I feel bad for them.
Not only must you not "like" the song, you've got to entirely skip the "maybe it's not so bad" thoughts and slide on into the negative. There are lots of songs that I don't like at all, but refuse to slap with a thumbs down because I do recognize that there is something of value present in them all. Well, I guess it's easier to tear something down than to build it up, or like you said, "don't appreciate... talent." These are the non-thinkers I avoid. And, I give TWO thumbs up to this marvelous work!
@@tacotony4090 spoken like a real gentleman..i l raise my hat to you sir!
Robert Elmore - You are truly a class act 👍🏻👏🏻
Must be half pints lol
@@judysceeles2076 or quarter pints!
😀
Ella Fitzgerald had one of the most beautiful voices in the world. It never seemed to matter what she sang, from sultry to scat, she was perfection, and her voice was like butter!
is Nacho your real name? I agree Nacho
her voice is like velvet...soft, amazing...never get enough.
She’s so patient in this song. Ugh I love her.
I just love the vulnerability in her voice. So effective. Also, one of the most gorgeous voices in the world.
I couldn't agree with you more, it's the voice of an angel.........FLAWLESS!!!!
in the history of voices
Lovely, defined !
Perfekt !
huh; I love her voice, but "vulnerability" doesn't come to my mind (more with Billy Holiday, though); her voice is STRONG, rich volume and she has perfect timing. So great.
She transcends all other artists. The tone, clarity, meaning and feeling in every word is sublime. We are honoured to be able to listen to her recordings. There will never be another Ella.
Her voice is so beautiful.
She remains my favorite vocalist male or female and she's had plenty of competition over my 70 years. Such tone, tempo, and the spaces in between are magical.
I've loved this song for many many years Our pbs radio station (Jazz on a Saturday) in Australia played this version this morning. I phoned in to say how magic it was. The young lady who took my call said they were being inundated with txt messages and calls from listeners who, like myself, hadn't heard this version before. Ella, no one comes close to your perfection. I've already listened to this three times in the last hour....
It's early 2023 now and here I am, crying tears of joy and sadness, having been touched yet again by this Godliest of expressive voices that jazz ever had. May she keep spreading her love forever!
This song gives me so much self belief, power.. 1956, My parents were a year old, yet here i am 2019 and it speaks to me..
A seven minute song with the most incredible lyrics, sung by the best female vocalist in history. We will never hear something like this ever again. It's sad to watch our country, our economy, and our values sink into oblivion knowing we'll never have this pinnacle of musical perfection ever produce any more but to know we still have what she did is still wonderful.
Y'know what? I've searched for years for anyone else who's recorded this same song, the FULL SEVEN MINUTES FIFTEEN SECONDS. I have yet to find any.
Yes, there's other recordings. Doris Day, about 2 m 42 s. Lady Gaga/Tony Bennet, 3 m 20 s. Kristin Chenoweth, 5 m. Linda Ronstadt, 4 m 26 s. And it goes on. Almost anyone who's a good singer has done this song, especially if its in their genre. Never ever have I seen anyone else do the FULL 7 m 15 s.
It would be really fabulous if someone could do this. I'm not really up to date on who's up & coming and such. My music tastes pretty much stop mid 70s. I mostly focus on country/bluegrass now (old and new)
Huh, just had a random remembering. Dolly Parton has not covered this song.
Well didn't realize I'd typed this much... if you get this far, thanks for "listening".
Gonna say gnite.
Really nice. Gnite. @@splehcar
"First Lady of Song". Her diction - and I mean every word - was spot on. I heard her as much through the 💓 than thru my ears. Love you always Ella.
Didn't really need the sub-titles
Simply divine. My mother has been one of her biggest fans ever, for sure. It´s now decades after both have passed away that I really understand why. What a voice, what a personality! And what a song. It tells a whole novel within 7 minutes.
There are no words to say how divinely she sings this song!
Her exquisite voice, pure gold. R.I.P. the great Ella Fitzgerald, how lucky are we to hear her still?
Awesome 👏
She have a soulful voice!
This is my favorite song 🎶 so tell me are you a fan of Ella..?
This is of course one of the best not operatic performances ever - ever. Lyrics by Hart are incredible. Music by Richard Rogers. Ella's phrasing, diction, interpretation, and vocal beauty can hardly be bettered. The backing is a very high standard, too. This song stopped a colleague in her steps when I played this version at work - she could hardly move. The interesting thing is the song can be seen in a heterosexual light or homosexual. Lorenz was gay and short. Rogers mostly wrote the music first and Hart the lyrics after. Hart is up with the best lyricists last century - and probably the best though Cole Porter, Ira Gershwin, Irving Berlin and Oscar Hammerstein are snapping at his heels. See other songs by Ella especially These Foolish Things (Remind Me Of You).
there's a wonderful rendition by Samuel Barnett in the film 'The History Boys' where one boy sings it to his (unrequited) love interest.
I heard These Foolish Things (Ella In Rome) in the back garden, enjoying the burgeoning sun (had been working all night on my thesis) and had to go and knock on the neighbour's door and ask them WHERE they'd got it and WHAT it was. Ella In Rome, they showed me. Still my favourite album ever. You love two of my favourite tracks ever. Delighted to read your immensely insightful comments. Thank you.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written, sung by a lady with an explicit voice. I was lucky enough to see her perform on a couple of occasions in the sixties. Eat your heart out, Adele.
That extra 'air' she developed in her voice just melts you. This is a great showcase of that. Incredible.
...and worship the trousers that cling to him...
Brilliant - lyrics and singer alike!
Yes I was in love before😣
One of the greatest singers of jazz and standards of all time
Ella my all time favourite! Never knew there was so many (naughty) extra verses to Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered, and I've been singing it since I was a child and I'm now 68!
Hello 👋 susan
How are you doing today
This song really shows her extraordinary skills as a technician and an artist.
She makes it sound so easy. A formidable woman and a magnificent artist.
Her voice is magical ❤
Yes dear! That is one of the most beautiful song i have heard .
She is also one of the greatest singer of jazz and the best of all time ,I love the song
My favourite song ever!!! Cried my eyes out when she passed. I was 16 and completely in love with her. Her voice tells a story beyond her lyrics 😔🥰
Ella Fitzgerald's voice gives me goose bumps. Roger's & Hart could have no greater tribute than to have her voice singing their song with such remarkable clarity & exquisite tone. She was our national treasure.
Hello 👋 Leslie
How are you doing today
Esta e voz mais bonita do mundo nunca que estados vai ter uma cantora que nem miss ella fetzgerald
Reminds me of my father. I was born in1957, but I remember him sitting and snapping his fingers to Sinatra and big bands. He was a WWII veteran and a police officer when I was born. He was for 28 years and Chief for 11 of them. I was daddy's little girl andadored him. The best man I've ever known. He passed in 2008 and I miss him more than words can say. This song is so beautiful and her Ella is magnificent. Chills and tears
Hello
she's so badass. she's the best jazz singer of the 20th century.
Her voice is just for the "JAZZ" absolutely heavenly one.
The greatest female vocal of all time - no question!
Lee Button absolutely!
Her and Billie Holiday!
@@GreenredProductions Nina Simone……
that voice though...angel.

I’m 15 and I really enjoy the classics of jazz as I grew up with fond memories of my grandfather always playing jazz through his speakers which lingered throughout the whole entire house in the early morning or late evening
love sammies also
This is the version you need, when you fancy this song.
Iv never heard anything so beautiful 💋
Indeed...
My dear old Mammys favourite singer
The soundtrack to my Sunday mornings as she was preparing for dinner
This was my church. How blessed was I ? 🌞🙏💙
Ella and Nat are the world most complete vocalist ever.
Love her "no rush" kind of singing.
All the way until the "fini" verse.
She's definitely the greatest of all time.
Nope
Her voice is breathtaking. Just beautiful to listen to.
This song instantly takes me back to moments in my life that took 20 years to become special. It will forever be my touchstone.
Ms. Fitzgerald is the greatest jazz vocalist ...PERIODT..and when she scats..DAMN..MIND BLOWING.
One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard, my dad had this album around the house and I listed to this constantly.
As cheeky as this song is, still helps me fall asleep on a cloud 🥰
It's like 1950's asmr! Sublime.
Ella Fitzgerald is proof that there are miracles.
YOU SAID IT!!!! YES!!!! WORSHIPING AT THE CHURCH OF ELLA ONCE MORE
"Those ants that invaded my pants Fini". Wow!!! The best way ever to describe the end of a romance.
Hello Agnes, How are you doing?
Listening to this song got me bewitched, bothered, and bewildered
Remember taking my small children to the bowl, sitting in the back, she invited the children to be with her on stage, morning practice, her love for music and children was magical
What Frank Crossword said! I will never tire of her voice.
the greatest singer ever to have lived
When she breaks in and out of that thin, breathy tone always in tune....remarkable
This fits my situation 100%, but I still can't let go, so I listen again and again, but it still doesn't sink in. I'm just going to keep listening until the right one comes along and he better like jazz.
Really sweet.
I'm sure he will - you sound wonderful.
Then that last verse will be yours to own and you'll reeeeally feel it. Fini!!!!
Fits mine too... Except my husband died on me ... Got himself killed in an accident it's been 2 years but I still can't shake it... I'm F for life and I'm 28 years old ... Ill never have a child ill never have a life... But Ella speaks to the heart!
Sure she does, but so do you. Terribly sorry for your loss, but you're not F for life, you know? You'll have a child and a life, just as soon as it's all over. And it will be, one day. I'll say a prayer for you. Bon courage from France.
Bless you!
This song is full of energy. It's NOT a sad song.
Such cheeky lyrics delivered in her velvet voice. Ella Fitzgerald was a smooth operator.
Cole Porter-esque and I absolutely love it.
