I was so happy to discover Ella on my own in my early 20s. Listening to her puts me in a mood and transports me back to a time I never actually experienced myself. That's how magical she is.

[@bolder2009]

Everything about Ella's voice is perfection, or as close as a humanly possible to perfection.

[@maximilianraphael9853]

I absolutely love Ella Fitzgerald such an iconic singer.

[@johnhowardesq]

To love Ella is to endlessly receive free transport to a land of enchantment. All you need do is listen...and let yourself go.

I can't thank God enough for granted us with such a talent as Ella,,,whenever I hear a single note from her, I get misty !

[@1bunnsinger]

Absolute perfection!

[@demetriuscogdell9378]

The absolute best singer ❤ in the world number one

[@nomad9598]

Ella forever, thank you Ella for being you and sharing your gift to the world

[@direfranchement]

At its best (which I think was from roughly 1950-1961), the voice was immaculate. I don't think any other singer combined the purity of tone, agility and versatility that she did to such remarkable ends in her prime.

This is amazing, I love her so much!!!

[@jeremymoore145]

Thank you for this beautiful documentary of such a beautiful legendary talented singer. RIP Ella Fitzgerald.

I know people say, the one and only, and there will never be another, but honestly, I’m 77 so don’t have many years on this earth, but I have to say that if, in years to come anyone comes along the same as Lady Ella, I would love to hear it. She really has to be a “one off”. When I die, although I am not religious, if there is a heaven and I obviously hope I get there, I would bow at the fee of Miss Ella.

[@Vandilsongaldino]

THANK YOU!

[@allermenchenaufder]

Love, Love Ella ! XOXOXO

[@makurradoshi4498]

I love the story of how she got introduced to Chik Webb. She was just chilling by herself wearing boys shoes and eating a hot dog, and got brought into Child's dressing room by the director of the show who'd heard her sing. Can you imagine that?? I think it's so cute

[@nomad9598]

A 'rat piss on cotton', I am gonna use that

[@xXSukunasWIfeXx]

the 6 people who dislike this are probably are jealous they do not have her talent and are suckers

[@davidj1210]

She is pitch perfect. A friend of mine met her when she was a little girl. Her father played guitar for Ella, and reportedly the musicians tuned their instruments to her voice. PITCH PERFECT! AND EFFORTLESS! Thank God she didn't try to become a dancer. Not with that voice.

[@micpowers1136]

Ella freestyle was always on point because she stayed forgetting words lol.

[@rad0210]

likessonny71... HAHA! Love your comment! :-) I get misty too! ! ! :-)

[@Fealot]
