Forever Ella

~ Release by Ella Fitzgerald (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

Notes

Another one in the serie of compilations made by Universal sourcing Verve vaults.
Not specially original (even the sleeve is copied - with different colors - from the other Gold compilation), not particularly well assembled, or with much logic in the choice of the cuts, you probably can avoid this and pick a (way) better sampler directly from Verve - unless of course you can find this at a bargain price and are in a hurry, or just want a quick glimpse at Ella most remarkable period.
