Our Take

Picture this: it's a rainy Sunday afternoon, you're curled up on the sofa with a cup of tea and Ella Fitzgerald's "Great Women of Song" album on the turntable. Let me tell you, dear reader, this album is an absolute delight from start to finish.

With her velvet voice and unparalleled talent, Ella Fitzgerald brings to life the greatest hits of female artists like Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, and Lena Horne. From the soulful rendition of "Strange Fruit" to the jazzy swing of "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)," Fitzgerald effortlessly glides through each track with grace and charm.

The instrumentation on this album is top-notch, with lush strings, smooth saxophones, and playful piano solos that transport you to a smoky jazz club in the heart of New York City. Fitzgerald's vocal range is truly a marvel to behold, hitting high notes with ease and weaving in and out of melodies with finesse.

But what truly sets this album apart is Fitzgerald's ability to make each song her own. She infuses each track with her own unique style and flair, transforming even the most well-known classics into fresh and exciting interpretations.

So next time you're in need of a musical pick-me-up, look no further than Ella Fitzgerald's "Great Women of Song." It's a timeless collection that is sure to brighten up even the dreariest of days. Cheers to the First Lady of Song!

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. As a music reviewer, it is hard not to be in awe of Fitzgerald's unparalleled talent and impact on the music world. 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.
