Our Take

Ella Fitzgerald might be considered the Queen of Jazz, but on Great Women of Song, she proves she's more than just royalty – she's a goddess among mortals. This compilation album is a time capsule of the unparalleled talent and grace that defined Fitzgerald's illustrious career.

From the moment you press play, you're transported to a world where every note is a brushstroke on a masterpiece. Fitzgerald's vocals are like a fine wine – rich, complex, and incredibly satisfying. Whether she's belting out a soulful ballad or scatting her way through an up-tempo swing number, she never fails to captivate and enchant.

The album features some of Fitzgerald's most iconic songs, including "Summertime," "Cry Me a River," and "Blue Skies," each one a shining gem in her glittering crown. But it's not just her voice that steals the show – the arrangements are top-notch, the instrumentation is impeccable, and the production is flawless.

Great Women of Song is a celebration of female excellence, a testament to Fitzgerald's unparalleled talent, and a reminder that sometimes, the classics are classics for a reason. So sit back, relax, and let the soothing sounds of Ella Fitzgerald wash over you like a warm bath on a chilly evening. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.

With a career spanning over six decades, Fitzgerald's mesmerising voice and improvisational skills have earned her a well-deserved spot in the music hall of fame. Born in 1917 in Virginia, Fitzgerald's talent was evident from a young age. Discovered at a Harlem talent show in the 1930s, she quickly rose to fame with her smooth, velvety vocals and impeccable scatting techniques. Known for her breathtaking range and pitch-perfect delivery, Fitzgerald's performances were always a sight to behold. Throughout her illustrious career, Fitzgerald collaborated with some of the biggest names in jazz, including Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Louis Armstrong. Her groundbreaking series of "songbook" albums, in which she covered the works of famous composers like Cole Porter and George Gershwin, cemented her status as a true musical genius. Fitzgerald's influence extends far beyond the realm of jazz. Her ability to inject emotion and soul into every note she sings has inspired countless artists across genres. From pop to rock to hip-hop, Fitzgerald's legacy lives on through the artists she has inspired.

Her timeless voice continues to enchant listeners to this day, proving that true talent knows no bounds. Ella Fitzgerald may no longer be with us, but her music will live on forever.
