Thank you for honoring such a legend! I’m so glad to see her spirit and energy ❤ and the voice is still moving me even in the short moments she sang here!
🙏🏾I wasn't planning to, but I watched the whole video and glad I did (and will again later)! I LOOOOOVE HER!!! 🖤 This is the progressive & positive side of interviewing and journalism. This information is extremely important. Knowing the experiences of our people before us is extremely important! It reminded me of listening to my dad. When they talk about their experiences, there are so many avenues and channels that lead to a particular situation. Listen at how she talks about one thing, but then take you in another direction that still connected a dot to that same situation. I've listened to my dad's experiences and be like wow. The things they went through even just 50/60 years ago. We still have problems, but the people in that era and those before them PAVED a major way. Our era has become so distracted and disconnected when there is still MUCH work to be done. If your parents or grandparents are over 60. Ask them about their history! Record it and upload it! This type of information is EXTREMELY important for us. To the interviewer, I just want to say, JOB WELL DONE!!! 🙌🏿
Yes praise GOD for watching over Ms Ella and she still has that powerhouse singing voice this dear lady had when I saw her in The Wiz Broadway play in 1984 and 1993 revivals as Evillene the wicked witch of the west. It's great that she's doing well and following The Lord.
She was the original big momma in Big Momma's house (2000) movie ?, I'm so glad because she's looks so wonderful and she speaks with a adorable voice . I was super Sad when I don't see she return to "Big Momma's house 2", Ella Mitchell was super hilarious playing as big momma under the movie . I wish a lot of years of life to her 💙🌟.
Please pray for her, she needs it now better than ever. I recently talked to her good friend and unfortunately she is not doing well. I also talked to her 2 years ago.
I remember you Ella and Kitty so well. You may remember Waver Smith, he sang with a group of guys, can't remember the name of that group, but you guys came to Hartford Connecticut and sang.
May she rest in peace.😢 I am glad to have had the chance to talk to her over the phone for half an hour. She was really nice. Goodbye Ella!
It is never Goodbye but see you later. May God bless you and comfort you. 🙏 🙏
🥰🤩 Love this Interview.
