I actually listen to this every morning to start my day off with MAGIC! God blessed her and we are blessed to be able to hear this voice. Thank you, Father! Thank you, Lizz!
You are so Right and if you here her Speak of Ella, you'll Know and agree 100% with Liz ❤ She's the only true One that could Truely this The Truth and Justice That Ella Evoked When she sang it with full band. Liz is doing a Judy Garland n Clooney All in one. ❤
Such an underrated performer. This voice needs to be more known in the mainstream. Absolutely stunning! This pianist, who needs to be credited in this collaboration, is phenomenal as well!
Not so sure she's underrated....been around since her debut release (Salt) in 2003.....I've seen her perform live several times......can't quite describe her talent, but she's 1 of 1.....she's not for mainstream.....that's what Pop music is for....her music is such that it can't be put in a box or genre.....most of us know the music business is one of the dirtiest, ruthless businesses on planet earth.....Lizz isn't part of that bs anymore....she's finally label free, and runs her own show independently (Blues & Greens) a majority of her work is performed in Europe, which doesn't come as a surprise for me, considering the pattern for lots of artists who are "different"...I'm pretty sure that's Gerald Clayton on the piano, who hails from jazz royalty....his father is the legendary bassist, John Clayton, and his late uncle Jeff, was quite talented on the alto sax & flute....we lost him in 2020, unfortunately.
Lizz connects with your soul and doesn't let go. She blows me away. Every time I listen to her I feel enveloped in a warm cocoon. Her pianist is fabulous, too.
You're spot on Carolyn! Ms. Wright, a pure songstress, bares her soul. She invites you to come along for the ride as she unravels her story. Hope both of us is granted the privelege of hearing her perform!
God, I hope so. I love singing this kind of music. I ain't no Lizz Wright but this kind of music stands the test of time. Unlike the crap most are doing. Listen to those chord changes!!!
This is musical perfection. Not just because of Lizz's amazing voice, and Kenny Banks (?) piano because of the beautiful words and chords of Ned Washington and Hoagy Carmichael. That's songwriting!!!!!!
Damn. I was like, good luck girl...Ella is my girl...wow, Beautifully done. It had a sound of a storm within it that is not in the orig, wonderful passion from the pianist. Girl, so so proud of your gift of song and of giving it to us. Lovely. Made me cry at the finish, tender.
One of theost beautiful, and extraordinary voices I have ever heard. Just exquisite. Her summary at the end was just so lovely and insightful. Just can't get enough of this voice!
I'm a long time fan of Lizz Wright's music. This song brought a tear to my eye first because it was so beautiful, but then because this woman is so undervalued by the public. Music reaction videos are really big right now on RUclips, yet I can't find one reaction to her music, and I recommend her all the time.
Love the very low single bass note he plays just after 0.48 and several times afterwards. Unusual, but very effective! The pair of them produce perfection.
Ella has always been my top vocalist for her ability of perfect pitch, intonation, phrasing, purity of tone and scatting. The way her voice was an instrument of perfection. Lizz’s interpretation of this classic makes me feel I’ve been dipped in warm butterscotch! It’s so yummy and lovely as if her entire body and soul have joined forces with her voice. Thank you for such a remarkable piece of music🎶❤️🕊️
You too, Liz are a gift to the world. With your voice being powerful, rich, with a very special warm and somehow wise timbre and also totally different from Ellas voice you seem to have a lot in common with her. The gentleness, the approach of the lyrics mainly...
This is my first encounter with Lizz Wright, and I am grateful. I hear in Ella's voice her joy. In yours, I hear a love of what music can accomplish, and a reverence for those who strive to communicate. Oh, and the song was exquisite. Thanks.
The song writers are most of the time greater than the singers but they never get the recognition they deserve . The nearness of you is what true love is between husband and wives ,mothers fathers children and Nature.
Liz Wright elevates every song she sings. 🌹
Props to the magnificent accompanist. 🙌🏻
She sounds great, but no one can elevate a song .. that Ella Fitzgerald has sang.
I actually listen to this every morning to start my day off with MAGIC! God blessed her and we are blessed to be able to hear this voice. Thank you, Father! Thank you, Lizz!

Lizz Wright is one of the great singers of our time. Why isn't everyone listening to her?
Jazz people have always tended to be ignored.
@@murph3001until they become mainstream...
She not only sings the song, but she 'lives ' it. Flawless!
Such a beautiful rendition, shared with me by a new friend. My entire inner self is smiling.

Lizz Wright's rendition of this Ella Fitzgerald song makes me feel warm and happy in troubled times.
Lizz connects with your soul and doesn't let go. She blows me away. Every time I listen to her I feel enveloped in a warm cocoon. Her pianist is fabulous, too.
I'm so blessed to have found Lizz Wright.

It is not a difficult song to sing. One of the easiest. She does a wonderful job of it...
The first few notes - goosebumps.
There is only one Lizz Wright! She takes me from the humdrum to the sublime emotional experience.
You're spot on Carolyn! Ms. Wright, a pure songstress, bares her soul. She invites you to come along for the ride as she unravels her story. Hope both of us is granted the privelege of hearing her perform!
Lizz Wright is a musical treasure.

God, I hope so. I love singing this kind of music. I ain't no Lizz Wright but this kind of music stands the test of time. Unlike the crap most are doing. Listen to those chord changes!!!
This is musical perfection. Not just because of Lizz's amazing voice, and Kenny Banks (?) piano because of the beautiful words and chords of Ned Washington and Hoagy Carmichael. That's songwriting!!!!!!

I found Liz Wright on Amazon looking for new music and I just love her. I bought 3 case on the spot. Her voice is so soothing. Just beautiful.
Damn. I was like, good luck girl...Ella is my girl...wow, Beautifully done. It had a sound of a storm within it that is not in the orig, wonderful passion from the pianist. Girl, so so proud of your gift of song and of giving it to us. Lovely. Made me cry at the finish, tender.
Finally a pianist worthy of that voice

Excellent rendition of an old standard. Brilliant accompaniment.
Sublime. Props to the pianist whoever he is.
He looks like snoop dog, can't be sure though. :)
It's Kenny Banks.
Love the very low single bass note he plays just after 0.48 and several times afterwards. Unusual, but very effective! The pair of them produce perfection.
Very good pianist, but a bit busy for an accompanist.
The Fancy Miss Nancy would approve!
Wonderfull version! Lovely, sweetly and full of fellings
" GIRL, YOU BETTER SING THAT" !!!
Absoloutely MAGNIFICENT !!!
Ella has always been my top vocalist for her ability of perfect pitch, intonation, phrasing, purity of tone and scatting. The way her voice was an instrument of perfection.

This woman is a boon to humanity.
This leaves me totally breathless....
