"Ella sings Berlin" is great.

"Ella sings Mercer" is wonderful.

"Ella sings Kern" is excellent.

"Ella and Louis sing Porgy and Bess" is always a treat.

But "Ella sings Cole Porter" is like the greatest thing you can imagine, with a cherry on top with a chocolate flake and brandy-soaked cherries. And it has "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye".

I am a cheat though as I told you.

I must get hold of Ella Sings Broadway though I am still hooked on her singing Rodgers and Hart. I seldom play anything else.

Roy Plomley would never let anybody take a *grand* piano: they could use it as a shelter. I think if people got a grand piano, they had to promise not to use it as a shelter.

Ella is wonderful, but she was having problems with the lyrics. Odd, as I would have thought she would have sung it hundreds of times.

The Ella Songbooks are guaranteed to make me feel happy. And I strongly recommend "Ella Sings Broadway".
