Lullaby Of The Leaves is a song I first heard as a boy in the 1940s, and one that became an immediate favourite. It remains so now, even as an 80-year old in 2020. There have been some classic recordings of it over time, but I really believe this interpretation by Ella the best reading of all. Voices fit songs, and hers is the perfect fit for this. Thank you for the share, RoundMidnightTV.
I'm happy you've had a song to love throughout your life. I feel like everyone gains a song that'll be burnt into their minds until the end. I think mine is Home On The Range, since my dad would sing that when I was young and scared or sick. He's still around, he just doesn't sing it anymore since I don't live with him anymore.
Congrats!! I'm also 17 and also found this beauty of a song when I was 16 or something, I hope more people like us can find this and enjoy a masterpiece this is
I found the sheet music to this song in a piano book I've had for years. Several days ago, I played it for the first time and thought it was lovely. So, I searched for a recording of it and was not disappointed to find this rendition! Such a silky, romantic voice! Thank you for sharing!
7 billion views for garbage, and yet this gem remains unheard by most of the world. A shame...but a thrill for those of us who've found the queen of sing.
The number of views will never actually represent the worth of an item, so whether this has 0 views or 10 trillion this piece will always be utterly perfect in every conceiveable way.
heard it for the first time today and I love the lyrics, the voice and then the music. Going to be my favourite - I agree it is the best version of this song - I have not heard other versions but I don't want to. This version has my vote
The original by George Olsen would be Misplaced in Time. I think Drifting Time Misplaced, though, is sampled from this version. It's weird, though, that I prefer the original song over this one, and yet I love Drifting Time Misplaced more than Misplaced in Time.
Love this version. However, don't really understand why the lyrics were changed. This is a song about a specific PLACE, namely, the Southern US. Original: "Cradle me where Southern skies..." This version: "Cradle me where summer skies..." Original: "That Southland..." This version: "That's heaven". Nothing about the original lyrics has any overtly patriotic or problematic overtones, a la "Dixie" or "Sleepytime down South". I don't mind it, but it's weird. Would you change "Autumn in New York" to "Autumn in South Jersey" or "Old Cape Cod" to "Old Gold Coast, LI"?
maisie 11238 The lyrics should be sung as written. They had special inference by the lyricist and composer. Sing it the way it was originally written, please!
Yes, I don't like the way they changed those lyrics. It completely dumbs down the song. The song is supposed to convey the, um, I guess sweet heavy nostalgic atmosphere of the Southern US. Why did they ask Ella to sing different lyrics? Because a black singer singing about the South has too many uncomfortable racial overtones for a wider audience?
If Ella wanted to sing those lyrics she would have. She obviously felt she could connect to slightly different lyrics better, and without that better connection her performance would have suffered a little bit.

I really love Ella's version of this song, and Mary Hopkin's, too.
When you're 80 but still not misplaced in time. Hope you get to celebrate 90 in good health.

@Kerem Balkir i see what you did there ;)
The guy who's looking at her in the photo background, the look on his face says it all.
looks like Dizzy Gillespie
she was married to Ray Brown the bass player behind her for a while... he looks less enthousiastic
Dizzie Gillespie gran trompetista de jazz
Find yourself someone who looks at you the way Dizzy Gillespie looks at Ella Fitzgerald

I didn’t even know music like this existed! I am 17 years old, and I found my perfect music

13 here, I personally prefer the original version. Glad you found music you enjoy, though!
Wow ! Searching thru all the versions of my most loved song, and then I find this ! The tempo , the phrasing , all absolutely perfect !
My Dad used to strum a guitar and sing this to me as a little girl. Just brought it all back, sweet memories.
I just heard faster renditions of this beautiful piece of music. But this is really heaven for the ears. Thank you.

Exactly how I just found it!
Ніхто цю річ так не співає, як Елла. Фантастично!
Playing this song over and over for days now.

Beautiful music and voice.........sing me to sleep.
I just heard this for the first time on Phillys great jazz station on Monday night. So amazing, gives me chills…..
I find this in a notebook of my great grandfather's.. lovely
Pure, timeless gold.
Absolutely Beautiful....my Sister!!!!!
Exquisite.
Man alive! Could she sing.
Magnificent.
This is so good!
Look at Diz!!!!! He's in love.
Gotta be one of the 3 best voices I’ve ever heard.
Caresses and feels every note.
Came here from FNaF VHS and ended up finding an amazing song!
BEST version ever!
This is exquisite
She could sing the telephone book and make it musical and sensual.
Wonderful rendition !
Thanks a lot
Love Ella's version along with Bert Ambrose's too.
Perfection.
Gotta love that smoky saxophone
This is just perfect, like that diamond in the dark we who love singing live to find.

Caretaker gang was here
I found about this music through both FNaF VHS and The Caretaker.
Hello
yes.
@@arcader1 same
@Dante Snyder The Emo yeah im still glad i found it tho, it’s a banger
This song feels misplaced in Time
the caretaker reference

Very nice
Perfect. Thank You!
how does one improve on this?
*slowly*
Learn the changes and spell them out that's what my teacher tells me
Gorgeous!
Sorry guys, somebody has to connect this back to 'The Caretaker'

+maisie 11238 Maybe the record company wanted to remove the connotations associated with the place?

p eibye Sing it as written, not to appease some record company suit who is soulless.

Fan-fucking-tastic.
Well, this is kinda "misplaced in time" right now... But still very poggies.
best rendition of this song in my opinion. spike wilner did a good piano cover though
I know about the caretaker and eateot but I didn't come from there I just like ella's music
This is a great version, but Mary Stallings live version is a must hear
ah yes 1964 missplaced in time
No ne can touch her blues OR jazz voice
Неделю назад появился кавер этой песни в исполнении Beth Hart и Joe Bonamassa. И я не уверен, кто спел лучше.
I'm here because of -- The Caretakers: Everything At The End Of Time
No comments about Misplaced in Time?
That's because it used george olsen's version
Pov: you dont have dementia.....
*CRIMINAL CRIMINAL CRIMINAL*
God, I love hers...But nothing can beat Tony Williams's/the Platter's version.
Did we…. Did we just unlock the good ending?
Only fnaf fans know how sad this is
The cartaker fans too
Don't know why, but now I wanna hear a Rihanna cover
Wait...Taco on standup bass?!?!
ill. dope. kinda creepy tho.

In my opinion, 1.25x speed sounds better
