Ella Jane Fitzgerald (April 25, 1917 – June 15, 1996) was an American jazz singer often referred to as the First Lady of Song, Queen of Jazz and Lady Ella. She was noted for her purity of tone, impeccable diction, phrasing and intonation, and a "horn-like" improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing.
After tumultuous teenage years, Fitzgerald found stability in musical success with the Chick Webb Orchestra, performing across the country, but most often associated with the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem. Fitzgerald's rendition of the nursery rhyme "A-Tisket, A-Tasket" helped boost both her and Webb to national fame. Taking over the band after Webb died, Fitzgerald left it behind in 1942 to start a solo career that would last essentially the rest of her life.
Signed with manager and Savoy co-founder Moe Gale from early in her career, she eventually gave managerial control for her performance and recording career to Norman Granz, who built up the label Verve Records based in part on Fitzgerald's vocal abilities. With Verve she recorded some of her more widely noted works, particularly her interpretation of the Great American Songbook.
Live at the Savoy Ballroom: Ella Fitzgerald and her famous Orchestra. Songs: "A Tisket, A Tasket" "Limehouse Blues" "Tain't What You Do" "Take It From The Top" "Break 'Em Down" "Let's Get Together"

This is the first in a series of compilations designed to give a glimpse into the kind of radio programs being broadcast at a specific time. This compilation covers the early 1930s, though there aren't as many extant broadcasts as later years, but I think this is still a pretty solid sampling.

Ella Fitzgerald, the queen of jazz, needs no introduction. However Chick Webb, who was a major contributing factor to her success, often goes forgotten. If these recordings sound old, it's because they are. From what I can make out, the recordings featured in this album took place in Harlem's famous Savoy Ballroom in December 1939, to be radio broadcasted the following month in January 1940. At this point, Chick had sadly passed, and Ella had courageously taken over as bandleader. The talented Chick Webb Orchestra was now known as Ella Fitzgerald and Her Famous Orchestra. Ella would continue to lead the band until its dissolution a couple of years later. I picked up a used UK re-issue of this record for dirt cheap at my local record store, gave it a quick clean at home and began spinning...

Here’s Ella with her precision scat singing performing her huge 1947 hit, “Oh, Lady Be Good!” [Airdate: Mar 24, 1957]. Enjoy my Video and Audio Restoration in DES [Digitally Extracted STEREO] of this historic TV performance by the First Lady of Song, Ella Fitzgerald. "Oh, Lady Be Good!" was written by George and Ira Gershwin, published in 1924. It was introduced by Walter Catlett in the Broadway musical “Lady, Be Good!”, written by Guy Bolton, Fred Thompson, and the Gershwin brothers and starring Fred and Adele Astaire. The song was also performed by the chorus in the film “Lady Be Good” (1941), although the film is unrelated to the musical. About the original video and mono audio: Both video and audio were very poor. I used TOPAZ Video Enhancer to restore the blurry video. For the audio...

I've tried and tried to run and hide
To find a life that's new
But wherever I go I always know
I can't escape from you
A jug of wine to numb my mind
But what good does it do?
The jug runs dry and still I cry
I can't escape from you
These wasted years are souvenirs
Of love I thought was true
Your memory is chained to me
I can't escape from you
There is no end, I can't pretend
That dreams will soon come true
A slave too long to a heart of stone
I can't escape from you
