- Ella Fitzgerald sings "Round Midnight".
Piano: Oscar Peterson
Bass: Ray Brown
Drums: Ed Thigpen
Composer: Thelonious Monk
(UK, 1961)
It begins to tell,
round midnight, midnight.
I do pretty well till after sundown.
Suppertime, I'm feeling sad;
but it really gets bad,
round midnight.
Memories always start round midnight.
Haven't got the heart
to stand those memories,
when my heart is still with you,
and old midnight knows it, too.
When a quarrel we had needs mending,
does it mean that our love is ending?
Darling, I need you, lately I find
you're out of my heart,
and I'm out of my mind.
Let our hearts take wings
round midnight, midnight.
Let the angels sing,
for your returning,
till our love is safe and sound
and old midnight comes around.
Feeling sad,
really gets bad
round midnight...

When I hear Ella sing I don't mind that I am 63 and time is flying. I was able to see her live and grew up with her music. I heard the angels sing.
lucky bastard!.....wish i could ,damn you...ha ha ha
She sounds like an angel to me too!
You have been fortunate, am I allowed to be jealous 😒.
Her voice never got old.
I envy you...
I haven't heard the vocal version of this song many times, but this is the best version. Ella, with her great voice and sense of timing could make any song sound great. Thanks for posting this.
Jazmine sullivan remade this song. Pretty great
I don't think you can teach natural phrasing, she is just born with an unmatchable talent
how can anybody be so good?? she may be gone but she stll destroys me!
I really adore Mel Tormé's version of this song but Ella, her voice always gives me shivers, she is a goddess. Thanks for sharing this video.
yea thanks for introducing her to me she's great!
What an amazing voice!
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
Ella, Ella, Ella ! yesterday, today, tomorrow !!!.
Just sic, man just sic!
Got a thing for Ella Fitzgerald music and style.
Today is a rare jewel sing to God......that jealous God
@earthchild100
I got'em every time I hear her voice! :D
uh............ALRIGHT
I want to hear her Billie and Phyllis Hymann sing together...in the afterlife.
@clucaspik Amen to that.
what key is this in? and she sounds completely amazing
what a fucking line up!
@alura221 - you just said it all
God bless the person who filmed this historic performance.
And we love all of them in heaven.....
Ohhh yes.
We are thankful for that person.
What a hidden GEM.
Look at our Jewel.
amen...
Her vocal prowess is incredulous...THIS is the kind of singer I aspire to be. Such inspiration. Love you Ella
uh...minor point. She is incredible. You would be incredulous.
Sailing BayBeeCakes Oops - I suppose what I meant to say was that I can't believe how good she is here. Thanks for the correction ;)
Jonny you are a star already with that good an ear!!!
It DOES NOT get any better than this. Artistic and technical perfection.
Ella really was an OG at using melisma in her vocals but the reason she did it was because she wanted to emulate the instrumentation that was used in jazz and blues at the time, namely trumpets and saxophones. It’s a real testament to her vocal agility that she’s able to exactly replicate the way a saxophone would have performed those notes if the song was being played but not sung. She was a goddess
No effects, no ridiculous costumes, no flashy dancers, just a beautiful voice and tasteful instruments. Corporate music can go strangle itself.
You forgot no electronic auto tune.
Agreed, completely agree...
Tap Ir l'art pour l'art
Yes, you are right but this falls into the category of real entertainment, when talent and skill meant something. Ella just had a simple beautiful voice!
Thank you for including that parting note. Really made this comment.
I can't imagine anyone who doesn't like this song as sung by Ella and played by the Oscar Peterson trio.
Simply beautiful. And how in the world did she find that correct final note after going all over the scale?! Talent.
she actually ended it on a C (the 9th), which is a tension in this key of Bb minor. Adding a little bit of flair.
Dat part!
No one could “scat” like Ella Fitzgerald, and that was a perfect last note. She was a consummate musician.
This is by far the best version of "round midnight" I have found on the net after looking through Hundreds. She doesn't hit the notes beautiful as she does here. You feel this in your soul. Peace youtube.

Round, round, round, midnight
With Oscar Peterson behind her I cannot hold back my tears. And that voice. Alone in the dark with Ella Fitzgerald. Imagine that.
Yeah I was like damn I know that pianist!
this is when you really had artistry. The voice was like an instrument. Ella, Sarah, were true vocalist and instrumentalist wow what a treat to see this thanks for posting
Best female voice ever, warmth, soul, perfect vibrato...on and on...
jesus christ this is some heavy shit
Geeezzzz Loueeezz what's with the cursing and taking Christs name in such a forrible context?!?!?!?! Grow UP already!!!!
Even having listened to Ella all my life, I find this performance absolutely stunning.😪
Wowow amazing, Ive heard Amy Winehouse Version a million times, but never this one. How lovely!
Issasol Amy Winehouse did a modern version of this classic jazz song.

Songwriters

Round Midnight was written by Thelonius Monk. Words were added by others later.
amazing Lord Jesus
her voice soothes my soul. much needed during a hectic day
Her voice is unmatched! When I hear her sing I just close my eyes and go wherever she chooses to lead me.
Every new Ella Fitzgerald song I listen to just sticks with me. Good Lord is this woman's voice impactful

Round... round... round... mid... night...
Thank you for the words.
I like both Ella & Sarah's version. Sarah doesn't use words. She scats.
I've commented on this video in the past, it never gets old, ella is and will always be one of the best
agree...
1:42 - 2:00
unreal
Who are the 45 shmucks who didn't like this?
honeyjbc1 Who cares!
Amy Winehouse fans?
@@nafisahmohamed4371 What does Amy have to do with this beautiful video. She actually admired Ella quite a bit (as well as other greats from this time).
@@niyaxm03 Amy did a version of this song too. I am not talking about Amy herself, but her fans who may not like Ella's interpretation of this song.
Nafisah Mohamed Most of Amy’s fans are already into this older music or Amy allowed them to discover old jazz through her recommendation.
just beautiful Ella was my main influence when I started singing!
Ella forever.......and ever and ever and ever and ever..........long after the world is gone, and beyond.
wished that I'm a time traveller, that i would listen to her with a cup of bitter tea..
Yes.
Cause she would be the sweet.
🙂
Hate, I never saw her in concert- as many I never invested to see them in live concert...now in this Covid-19 Pandemic.
The dictionary has not the right words to describe how deftly Ella caresses the notes. Kudos to the musicians too. They don't make such stuff anymore. This is exactly why Ella is my idol.
Like someone said about another stellar jazz performance. "If you gave this a thumbs down, you have a hole in your soul that needs to be filled."
She sings with such pathos. Just beautiful.
I am in love... I lose myself in this atmosphere. How I would have loved to live in that era; I would trade Ipads and Android cell phones for a performance like this live any day
Beautiful song ♥️🎹
Simply stunning, hic !
Just masterful!!!!
And she did all that with NO autotune! Amazing.....pure talent.
and she does not dress like a stripper to get noticed by the audience
Auto what?
@@giorgigeorgekandelaky-nude6044 AUTOTUNE. Get it?
It's funny that the original composer of this song Thelonius Monk was famous for his discordant piano playing and songs.
@@santanapendleton9955 So true. This song is definitely an aberration in his opus. And what an aberration!
Perfect example of a vocalist, it's not just about having a beautiful instrument but you need to be creative and musical with that instrument as well. Ella nailed all of that with apparent ease.
that ending was gorgeous!
watching her it's almost impossible to think she is singing that and creating that beautiful beautiful sound .... she looks so relaxed. My favouritest singer ever. She really gets to my soul and makes it joyful. Beautiful woman.
Essa interpretação deve ser inserida nas escolas de música como obrigatória, tanto por Ella como por Oscar Peterson...Divinos!!!!!
God bless the person who filmed this magic. Thanks. Gave me goosebumps🤤🤤🤤
I have to know, can anybody sing this better than Ella?
carmen mcrae and babs gonzalez. but this is a point of of view issue...´the most covered jazz standard is from a person who wrote music that was never intended to be sung.
Lita Sandy Amy Winehouse sang it preety well
Lita Sandy AMY WINEHOUSE!!!
Jazmine Sullivan ALL DAY!!!
Wow. This is my first time ever hearing an Ella Fitzgerald song or ever hearing her sing. Such a beautiful voice it brought tears to my eyes. I know this song from Amy Winehouse and just discovered this Video. Thank you for sharing this Classic time capsule.
This is the babe that Frankie said was the best. With unalienating exposure and a bit of musical sophistication who could disagree.
Gives me chills every time I hear Ella sing this.
With tears in my eyes....the greatest pop voice of all time...of any time. God Bless this lady....
Heard her in the '80s at the Hollywood Bowl in L.A. Packed and thousands in the open-air venue, yet her magic was such that, with all those people, she was singing to ME.
What a brilliant voice, miss you Ella!!! Always my first lady of jazz! x
Its also nice to see Oscar Peterson allowing space for Ella to operate. Undoubtably one of the greatest Jazz pianists that ever lived, but not always the most sensitive accompanist. This performance was a master class by the whole esemble.
Just beautiful. Love Ella Fitzgerald
I'm 15, But I can understand the emotion she displays in her voice/vocalizing. It's beautiful and is soulful.
"I'm 15, but I can understand..." Since when does age have anything to do with, well ANYTHING? It can not be an argument for liking something... "I'm 15 but I STILL DESPITE ME BEING 15 I LIKE THIS" fuck off you twatty snowflake
Stfu and enjoy the music. All of you
utterly impossible to resist!!!!!!! this is music..

@@henridelagardere264 thank you for these spectacular Links!!!!! you are utterly amazing my musical friend!!!!!!!
Ella is worth her weight in gold! She is just blessed to have had this beautiful voice. Beautiful!
Amazing!!!! She's unforgetable...
I mean...she just SENDS ME! Once in a lifetime treasure. Once in a lifetime collaboration.
Jazmine Sullivan's version of the song is pretty good
Yes!
To the 43 unstable people who spent time to dislike this my thoughts are with you.
Only a few people can notice there's a short bit where he plays "You Must Believe In Spring"
I did Alfredo ahuma.... Yes I did.. The mom watching u... She didn't know you guys was sinners you Frost and indian frist... Means you...
...ELLA...the GREATEST vocalist EVER in the history of JAZZ...!!!...& THIS is why...!!!
+roberttaylorcurryii Come on, you gotta consider Sarah Vaughn at least as good, maybe better. But then, that is a silly argument. It's not a contest. They were both awesome.
...Vincent..U strike ME as being "BRILLIANT"...!!!...What a refreshing response...!!!
roberttaylorcurryii WOW! Thanks. Never got a response like that. Great minds think alike! :-)
I am just speechless...
Effortless and beautiful ...

Ella's voice is like nothing I've ever heard in my life. Holy sweet Jesus I'm in love.
There aren''t best vocal version of round midnight than this fenomenal performance Sung by Ella Fitzgerald (the Queen of Jazz).
Amy Winehouse sang incredible this song.
Why would you compare a voice like Winehouse to the great Ella Fitzgerald?
This is great! Really outstanding,always she is,sweet Ella..I'm tired of people comparing Michael Bubbles to great singers like Ella,Dinah,Billie and all the greats..
I`ve never heard a better voice!!!!
the majesty!
Our middle school band played this for their ballad and I can't tell you how glad I am to have stumbled upon the real lyrical Round Midnight. It's such a refresher from the secular and distasteful music my generation is surrounded by day in and day out. This is gorgeous and such a relief from the trash music surrounding me on all sides.
And she did all that with NO autotune! Amazing.....pure talent.
Don't forget Thelonious Monk;for it is his composition.What a splendid rendition nevertheless and a compliment. R.I.P. all of 'em. Ella,Monk,and Peterson.
What a voice! There are only a few in her class...Pavoratti, Sinatra are two....but I am floored every time I hear that beautiful voice of Ella's! Thank God for recordings so we can cherish her talent decades after she has passed!
Unbeaten as the first and best deep an high blues voice, ever. Quite an accomplishment for one person! Well done!
.... our dear Ella - what a voice!
I LOVE DUETS IN HAMBURG. MY FAV SINGER WITH MY FAV GUITARIST.
My phone got smaller with her ending this song. Like shy of beauty
No one does it better!!!
Wow. Slow Jazz romance so good it hurts my soul in a good way. ♪
perfect intonation... so good...
Боже, как я её люблю!!!
Ella sounds so much like a horn player; more than any other singer. period.
