- Ella Fitzgerald sings "Round Midnight".
Piano: Oscar Peterson
Bass: Ray Brown
Drums: Ed Thigpen
Composer: Thelonious Monk
(UK, 1961)
It begins to tell,
round midnight, midnight.
I do pretty well till after sundown.
Suppertime, I'm feeling sad;
but it really gets bad,
round midnight.
Memories always start round midnight.
Haven't got the heart
to stand those memories,
when my heart is still with you,
and old midnight knows it, too.
When a quarrel we had needs mending,
does it mean that our love is ending?
Darling, I need you, lately I find
you're out of my heart,
and I'm out of my mind.
Let our hearts take wings
round midnight, midnight.
Let the angels sing,
for your returning,
till our love is safe and sound
and old midnight comes around.
Feeling sad,
really gets bad
round midnight...

When I hear Ella sing I don't mind that I am 63 and time is flying. I was able to see her live and grew up with her music. I heard the angels sing.
lucky bastard!.....wish i could ,damn you...ha ha ha
She sounds like an angel to me too!
You have been fortunate, am I allowed to be jealous 😒.
Her voice never got old.
I envy you...
God bless the person who filmed this historic performance.
And we love all of them in heaven.....
Ohhh yes.
We are thankful for that person.
What a hidden GEM.
Look at our Jewel.
amen...
Even having listened to Ella all my life, I find this performance absolutely stunning.😪
With Oscar Peterson behind her I cannot hold back my tears. And that voice. Alone in the dark with Ella Fitzgerald. Imagine that.
Yeah I was like damn I know that pianist!
Just beautiful. Love Ella Fitzgerald
Her vocal prowess is incredulous...THIS is the kind of singer I aspire to be. Such inspiration. Love you Ella
uh...minor point. She is incredible. You would be incredulous.
Sailing BayBeeCakes Oops - I suppose what I meant to say was that I can't believe how good she is here. Thanks for the correction ;)
Jonny you are a star already with that good an ear!!!
No one could “scat” like Ella Fitzgerald, and that was a perfect last note. She was a consummate musician.
Ella really was an OG at using melisma in her vocals but the reason she did it was because she wanted to emulate the instrumentation that was used in jazz and blues at the time, namely trumpets and saxophones. It’s a real testament to her vocal agility that she’s able to exactly replicate the way a saxophone would have performed those notes if the song was being played but not sung. She was a goddess
this is when you really had artistry. The voice was like an instrument. Ella, Sarah, were true vocalist and instrumentalist wow what a treat to see this thanks for posting
Unbeaten as the first and best deep an high blues voice, ever. Quite an accomplishment for one person! Well done!
Best female voice ever, warmth, soul, perfect vibrato...on and on...
It DOES NOT get any better than this. Artistic and technical perfection.
What a line-up we have here! Hard to imagine anyone but Ella outshining Oscar Peterson trio. Thanks for sharing!
Her voice is unmatched! When I hear her sing I just close my eyes and go wherever she chooses to lead me.
Every new Ella Fitzgerald song I listen to just sticks with me. Good Lord is this woman's voice impactful
It doesn’t get any better than this!
Effortless. Absolutely lovey. 💓
No effects, no ridiculous costumes, no flashy dancers, just a beautiful voice and tasteful instruments. Corporate music can go strangle itself.
You forgot no electronic auto tune.
Agreed, completely agree...
Tap Ir l'art pour l'art
Yes, you are right but this falls into the category of real entertainment, when talent and skill meant something. Ella just had a simple beautiful voice!
Thank you for including that parting note. Really made this comment.
I can't imagine anyone who doesn't like this song as sung by Ella and played by the Oscar Peterson trio.
With tears in my eyes....the greatest pop voice of all time...of any time. God Bless this lady....
Simply beautiful. And how in the world did she find that correct final note after going all over the scale?! Talent.
she actually ended it on a C (the 9th), which is a tension in this key of Bb minor. Adding a little bit of flair.
Dat part!
Wow. This is my first time ever hearing an Ella Fitzgerald song or ever hearing her sing. Such a beautiful voice it brought tears to my eyes. I know this song from Amy Winehouse and just discovered this Video. Thank you for sharing this Classic time capsule.
Perfect example of a vocalist, it's not just about having a beautiful instrument but you need to be creative and musical with that instrument as well. Ella nailed all of that with apparent ease.
This is by far the best version of "round midnight" I have found on the net after looking through Hundreds. She doesn't hit the notes beautiful as she does here. You feel this in your soul. Peace youtube.
her voice soothes my soul. much needed during a hectic day
There is no Hate.... Just Facts!!!! Ella is GREATNESS!!!!. But to each their own.... even if its some imitation or failed attempt. Just listen to that Voice... WOW!!!! thank you for posting
Ella is worth her weight in gold! She is just blessed to have had this beautiful voice. Beautiful!
The Queen has spoken.This is it. No has has ever matched her brilliance. Ella lives for evermore.
utterly impossible to resist!!!!!!! this is music..
Thelonious Monk's immortal _'Round Midnight._ Today, October 10th, 2020, is his *103rd* birthday. www.npr.org/2017/10/10/556842176/after-midnight-thelonious-monk-at-100?t=1602310704328
@@henridelagardere264 thank you for these spectacular Links!!!!! you are utterly amazing my musical friend!!!!!!!
Its also nice to see Oscar Peterson allowing space for Ella to operate. Undoubtably one of the greatest Jazz pianists that ever lived, but not always the most sensitive accompanist. This performance was a master class by the whole esemble.
Just for the record....you will never find a nicer lady either than Ella was.
You'll never hear a bad word spoken about her, unlike most singers mentioned on your lists.
She was the personification of pure class & humility .
What a brilliant voice, miss you Ella!!! Always my first lady of jazz! x
the beauty of the world in her voice....
what an instrument!
she is beautiful...
Gives me chills every time I hear Ella sing this.
amazing Lord Jesus
I mean...she just SENDS ME! Once in a lifetime treasure. Once in a lifetime collaboration.
Crazy, crazy, crazy good
Beautiful song ♥️🎹
I`ve never heard a better voice!!!!
the majesty!
that ending was gorgeous!
I've commented on this video in the past, it never gets old, ella is and will always be one of the best
agree...
The greatest song ever composed sung by the greatest singer this world has known
Ella sounds so much like a horn player; more than any other singer. period.
The dictionary has not the right words to describe how deftly Ella caresses the notes. Kudos to the musicians too. They don't make such stuff anymore. This is exactly why Ella is my idol.
What A Rare Classic !
Ella Fitzgerald Was The Greatest !
A National Treasure !
It begins to tell 'round midnight, midnight
I do pretty well, till after sundown
Suppertime I'm feelin' sad
But it really gets bad 'round midnight
Memories always start 'round midnight
Haven't got the heart to stand those memories
When my heart is still with you
And old midnight knows it, too
When a quarrel we had needs mending
Does it mean that our love is ending?
Darlin' I need you, lately I find
You're out of my heart and I'm out of my mind
Let our hearts take wings 'round midnight, midnight
Let the angels sing for your returning
'Til our love is safe and sound
And old midnight comes around
Feelin' sad
Really gets bad
Round, round, round, midnight
What a beautiful interpretation of the song, life a fresh breath of air.....
Like someone said about another stellar jazz performance. "If you gave this a thumbs down, you have a hole in your soul that needs to be filled."
I love Ella so much, thanks for existing angel
Simply stunning, hic !
No one was ever like Miss Ella and no one ever will be. Just the very best of the best. I could listen to her 24/7 and never be bored because she was so amazingly versatile with fabulous musicianship. Her voice was a true instrument. So glad we have these performances immortalized and available to the world.
When you put Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown, Ed Thigpen and Ella Fitzgerald together, what can you expect except absolute perfection!!!!
Amazing!!!! She's unforgetable...
When I was in elementary school I had the opportunity to hear her sing live because she used to give free concerts to children! Just a class act all around!
.... our dear Ella - what a voice!
Heard her in the '80s at the Hollywood Bowl in L.A. Packed and thousands in the open-air venue, yet her magic was such that, with all those people, she was singing to ME.
I haven't heard the vocal version of this song many times, but this is the best version. Ella, with her great voice and sense of timing could make any song sound great. Thanks for posting this.
Jazmine sullivan remade this song. Pretty great
It seems like no one my age would ever listen to this, let alone enjoy it. I know why I'm called an old soul, and I wouldn't have it any other way :)
just beautiful Ella was my main influence when I started singing!
Gold. Pure Gold. Incomparable.
very few vocalists would dare to sing this song. Only Ella and Oscar could create the mood here its one off . The line up here is awsome this is a Monk tune if I remember? again thamks for showing it .
Ella forever.......and ever and ever and ever and ever..........long after the world is gone, and beyond.
she provides the mark for everyone else to strive for. absolutely the best ever!
This is great! Really outstanding,always she is,sweet Ella..I'm tired of people comparing Michael Bubbles to great singers like Ella,Dinah,Billie and all the greats..
watching her it's almost impossible to think she is singing that and creating that beautiful beautiful sound .... she looks so relaxed. My favouritest singer ever. She really gets to my soul and makes it joyful. Beautiful woman.
And she did all that with NO autotune! Amazing.....pure talent.
and she does not dress like a stripper to get noticed by the audience
Auto what?
@@giorgigeorgekandelaky-nude6044 AUTOTUNE. Get it?
It's funny that the original composer of this song Thelonius Monk was famous for his discordant piano playing and songs.
@@santanapendleton9955 So true. This song is definitely an aberration in his opus. And what an aberration!
omgwtf! She is simply incredible!!
I can't begin to tell you all how amazed I am by this human being right now! God damn!!!
Thanks for posting a true classic
What a combination: Ella and Oscar. Sheer magic!
I'm 15, But I can understand the emotion she displays in her voice/vocalizing. It's beautiful and is soulful.
"I'm 15, but I can understand..." Since when does age have anything to do with, well ANYTHING? It can not be an argument for liking something... "I'm 15 but I STILL DESPITE ME BEING 15 I LIKE THIS" fuck off you twatty snowflake
Stfu and enjoy the music. All of you
I LOVE DUETS IN HAMBURG. MY FAV SINGER WITH MY FAV GUITARIST.
What a voice! There are only a few in her class...Pavoratti, Sinatra are two....but I am floored every time I hear that beautiful voice of Ella's! Thank God for recordings so we can cherish her talent decades after she has passed!
she does it SO effortlessly. amazing.
Each can be great but all must recognize that Amy is at the beginning of her career arc as a singer. Ella was the mistress of song for decades and finished strong. This track alone shows she was the best that ever was.
Effortlessly; Graceful; Classy; Poignantly; Captivating; Timeless... First Lady of Song, Ella Fitzgerald.
Just masterful!!!!
Ella is the best, her voice is like an Angel.
She cam make you Feel the words...the modern artist cannot come close. This is Gorgeous! can't stop listening.
Love LOVE LOVE this song....pure soul!!! LOVE ELLA ...Nobody does this song like her!!
la piu' bella versione cantata di ogni tempo, anche per il futuro.
grazie Ella.
...ELLA...the GREATEST vocalist EVER in the history of JAZZ...!!!...& THIS is why...!!!
+roberttaylorcurryii Come on, you gotta consider Sarah Vaughn at least as good, maybe better. But then, that is a silly argument. It's not a contest. They were both awesome.
...Vincent..U strike ME as being "BRILLIANT"...!!!...What a refreshing response...!!!
roberttaylorcurryii WOW! Thanks. Never got a response like that. Great minds think alike! :-)
Ella's voice is like nothing I've ever heard in my life. Holy sweet Jesus I'm in love.
I love the way Ella sang this masterpiece.
OMG!!!!! THERE IS NO ONE ON THE PLANET SINGING WITH THIS KIND OF GRACE, CREATIVITY OR POISE! THIS IS A GLORIOUS MANIFESTATION OF TALENT!
yea thanks for introducing her to me she's great!
I am in love... I lose myself in this atmosphere. How I would have loved to live in that era; I would trade Ipads and Android cell phones for a performance like this live any day
She sings with such pathos. Just beautiful.
I love that her eyes is closed the whole time, she really feels it.
The goddess of jazz...
She truly has an amazing voice, and I love the way she uses it; it's like she's improvising the notes on the spot, so original and beautiful.
Blessed to have born in her lifetime and able to see and hear her sing while still in her prime.
When i first started listening to this song, i thought it was boring, but wow. Its beautiful! She has a great voice! The ending gave me chills!
:D
Wowow amazing, Ive heard Amy Winehouse Version a million times, but never this one. How lovely!
Issasol Amy Winehouse did a modern version of this classic jazz song.
Best song of all time, best singer, best pianist. Glad I was born into a world with Monk, Ella, and Oscar.
im speechless, Angelic!!
Still one of my favolite singers and I'm 89 years old - also love boogie woogie and Michel Petrucciani who plays Round Midnight the way I feel it...
She made it seem so effortless. What a heavenly voice.
Yep. Ella and arguably the greatest Jazz trio of all time which included her husband Ray Brown on Bass. The sheer virtuosity of talent in this performance is staggering.
Ms. Elle, Fitzgerald, was one of " America and Harlem best vocalist ever!
The voice of an Angel, so much feeling, and so effortless. Love it!
I woke up to Sting's Version of this, and felt compelled to look up the song. Here I am. Oh my God, this woman is fantastic!
