ELLA FITZGERALD: BEST OF THE SONGBOOKS

Okay, suppose you are from another planet and you just arrived on Earth. You hear folks talking about some great singer, a Lady named "Ella Fitzgerald" and you decide you'd like to hear what she sounds like.

You walk into the local record store (here in California, we're fond of Amoeba Music) and the helpful clerk hands you a great-looking
single-disc CD:
"Best of the Songbooks"
You fall madly in love with Ella's voice and buy every recording she
ever made...
Yup, this CD is THAT good. 16 tracks, including The Lady is a Tramp, Cottontail and Love For Sale.

Ella's arrangements were done by America's greatest, among them - Nelson Riddle, Buddy Bregman and the noble Duke Ellington.
Wow.
We found it on Amazon at a really good price just in case your local record store doesn't have it (and if they don't, scream and holler until they get it)

How about emailing us and telling us what you think of this? We'd love to hear from you.
