I fell in love with Ella at a young age. Then, somewhere in my twenties, I heard her with Joe Pass. I just remember the shock.
I listened to their albums together endlessly.
I admit that I somehow don't get Joe Pass' music... but what he does supporting Ella's singing is magical.
A defining musical moment to me.
P.S. About George Benson's version: his live album "Week-end in L. A." is one of the records I have most listened to in my whole life (and I'm a piano/keyboard player...) I am just happy that Ella and Joe did their take on it!

Pass really knew how to accompany a singer and add his own touches w/o stealing the spotlight. Saw him live a few times and he was terrific.

Somebody from Desert Hot Springs wrote this song?
Amazing.
Thanks for that info Bill.
I didn't realize something good came from Desperate Hot Flash... what we locals call it.
Or Meth Lab Heaven also.

I thought this comment was about Ella Fitzgerald's warm and beautiful voice, and began to think of what I could say to protest this injustice. Little did I know what indignity awaited me. Then I made the grave mistake of scrolling down the page. Dear God. My eyes will never recover. |

I don't know why this isn't a 10 on everyone's list, but whatever.
Ella is like smooth brandy-warm and intoxicating.

I've always liked this song; particularly Nat King Cole's version.

Wonderful! So different from the sort of thing by Ella with which I am familiar. Lovely!
It's music like this on RP for which I listen, surviving the stuff I don't like to hear transcendent moments like this.

Today, I was supposed to go see a free jazz tribute to Joe Pass and Ella. I was so excited that I invited most of my friends.
It got canceled because of the weather. At least I can run to RP and hear the real thing. Thanks Bill.
