Aww. Great post, Nancy. I love Ella! We used to listen to her all the time at the coffee place I worked when I was in high school. Our favorite tune to sing along to was the fun revenge song, “Goody, Goody.” My dad’s uncle ran a jazz club in NY called Connie’s Inn and Ella sang at his funeral. Oh to have been there!
OMG! Oh, to have been there, indeed!! I admire her spirit so much, and her singing even more. I'd tell you my favorite song except as soon as I did, I'd change my mind and end up in a spiral of possible favorites and never be able to decide! (But it would probably be "Good Morning, Heartache" because it's just so DELICIOUS to sing. Until the next one pops into my head...)
