Tonight, 10/30/2024, I listened to this song (fully) for the first time. How beautiful, smooth and velvety! Wow, what a Heavenly instrument she was! Simply beautiful.
What a wonderful era! We grew up when our parents were still loving this music. We were blessed to have the best of both worlds. Ella Fitzgerald had a fabulous voice. Marilyn knew talent.
I am from 'this generation' 22 years old... unfortunately, too many of my peers do not recognize the beauty that is this music. Truly magnificent vocalist here, more people should appreciate it.
+NFL Sucks ass, you should boycott it!!! Ella underrated? Ask the best singers of today and they'll all say Ella was the greatest. All the stars of Ella's generation said she was the greatest too. She's under-appreciated in 2016... but she's not underrated.
@Dior4im "I owe Marilyn Monroe a real debt. It was because of her that I played the Mocambo, a very popular nightclub in the '50s. She personally called the owner of the Mocambo, and told him she wanted me booked immediately, and if he would do it, she would take a front table every night. She told him - and it was true, due to Marilyn's superstar status - that the press would go wild. The owner said yes, and Marilyn was there, front table, every night." - Ella Fitzgerald
When Facebook asked me to present a song for the holidays I immediately thought of Ella Fitzgerald's rendition of What are you doing New Years Eve.🎼🎵🎶 No one does it like Ella!! Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year to you all!❤🌲💚🌲🌈
If you want to realize what a genius Ella Fitzgerald was listen to her live recording of Mack the Knife in which she forgets the lyrics. Brilliance personified.
@@Alessandro924i It was her live performance in Berlin 1960, there are plenty of recordings if you search it up on TH-cam. Here's a video essay with some backstory too: th-cam.com/video/qU7R1w0aNF0/w-d-xo.html
In the last picture, Sir Duke is totally captivated by her. That picture has fascinated me since I first saw it. The look on Duke Ellington's face is how I feel about Ella and her music, her creative spirit, her voice. Ella's voice was and remains one of great wonders of the world, yet its sound is from somewhere beyond the coil of mortality. Hers is a sound thats purely human in its primal expression and yet paradoxically supernatural in its transcendent perfection.
Here is talent at it's best! one of the finest female voices of the 20th century sad but gone only to be remembered on recordings we will miss you but you will be welcome in heaven!
I fell in love with this song because of the college football commercial so I had to search this and I am now in love with this song including it was just New Years so I played this song on New Years and New Years eve🎶🎵
@Dior4im "The press went overboard. After that, I never had to play a small jazz club again. She was an unusual woman - a little ahead of her times. And she didn't know it." - Ella Fitzgerald
Maybe it's much Too early in the game Ooh, but I thought I'd ask you just the same What are you doing New Year's New Year's eve? Wonder whose arms Will hold you good and tight When it's exactly Twelve o'clock that night Welcoming in the New Year New Year's eve Maybe I'm crazy to suppose I'd ever be the one you chose Out of the thousand invitations You received Ooh, but in case I stand one little chance Here comes The jackpot question in advance What are you doing New Year's New Year's Eve?

Am the biggest fan of composers, the heart and soul of music. Bing Crosby once said, the singer is only as good as the composer and their talents. Frank Loesser, one of the absolute best. Composers, the unsung heros but oddly rarely mentioned.
Listening on New Year’s Eve 2024. hope everyone has a happy and healthy 2025 xx
Happy NewYear2025🎆🎇🎉✨️
We’re listening with you. Ella is immortal.😊
Tonight, 10/30/2024, I listened to this song (fully) for the first time. How beautiful, smooth and velvety! Wow, what a Heavenly instrument she was! Simply beautiful.
Happy New Year 2024
Like a warm, fuzzy blanket oozing down around my shoulders... I could listen to this all day!
They don't make vocalists like this anymore! Spectacular, stunning, and quite simply, perfection
AMEN
🎯💯They don't write songs like this anymore either.
Here on Dec 31, 2021 because, Ella. My soul needed this amidst the chaos.
Hello 👋 Jenny
How are you doing today?
I loved this arrangement by her ever since I was a little girl - my mother had the album back in the early 60's ... Thanks for the memories.
Dolladie I love this songs too..
How are you doing today?
What. wonderful style. Lady Ella was soo splendid. An American icon defining a special time in our country.
What a wonderful era! We grew up when our parents were still loving this music. We were blessed to have the best of both worlds. Ella Fitzgerald had a fabulous voice. Marilyn knew talent.
Her impeccable phrasing! The band creating a sublime setting! We are in the presence of genius.
I am from 'this generation' 22 years old... unfortunately, too many of my peers do not recognize the beauty that is this music. Truly magnificent vocalist here, more people should appreciate it.
And great arrangement!
I love listening to Ella Fitzgerald. she has such a beautiful voice that's so full of passion
+Sanny D. So underrated. I mean it was Billy Holiday, Nina Simone and Bessie Smith people usually think of.

I love it when the verse is sung to open the song.
Used to love watching her TV show years ago. The most soothing voice..never that warble sound so many have. Just beautiful!

The inner light in her shines brightly through her singing

Lucky you!!!
@@TheAutumwithoutu The Mocambo and Marilyn were the lucky ones.
Niiiice
@@555kappockthat’s right ❤
This song and voice is always the contemporary sound and mood of the Christmas holiday season, perfectly to a T.
Thank you, Ella Fitzgerald.
Every year around this time I love listening to this song. It makes me so hopeful of the upcoming New Year.
When Facebook asked me to present a song for the holidays I immediately thought of Ella Fitzgerald's rendition of What are you doing New Years Eve.🎼🎵🎶 No one does it like Ella!!
Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year to you all!❤🌲💚🌲🌈
Love her voice. So crystal clear.
Class, pure class
I love all the younger generations expressing such open-mindedness and appreciation for the one of the Greatest.
She has some amazing tones in her voice.
Ella's voice is pure honey. Love it.
Getting ready for 2025 Just had to listen to this happy new year 🎉
This song gives me goosebumps....classic perfection
Ella owns this Frank Loesser classic written around '47.
I haven't heard anyone to top her with this rendition.
What a fantastic singer. I love Lady Ella. Thank you for posting.
Beautiful voice, sings this song so magically
One of my all time favorite songs ❤️
If you want to realize what a genius Ella Fitzgerald was listen to her live recording of Mack the Knife in which she forgets the lyrics.
Brilliance personified.
YES! I love it. Such a fun version!
What are you doing, New Year's Eve? ;-)
where can I find this version pls?

Today is December 31, 2020 hello everyone
hello to you too
Happy New Year!
Love the Horns in the background !!!
Horns are the best!
Cannot understand why there's 13 dislikes. How do you hate perfection??
+Nakkid Frodo It frustrates them that they can't sing like this. She makes it sound so easy.

...when you refuse to attempt it!

EXACTLY!!!
Honestly it's probably just the sound quality. This sounds like 240p even on the highest setting
What a wonderful singer, what a great voice!

A classic from Ella.
Happy New Year 2018
Voice like silk ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I saw this in the short college football playoff commercial and the woman's voice gave me the chills because it was so good.
You should listen to some of her other songs! Also check out Billie Holiday. Their voices are both beautiful
Love the commercial!
The College Football commercial brought me here to. Ella is smooth as silk.
+Vincent Brooks Yes, she was.
Beautiful voice, perfect pitch, so smooth. Happy holidays!
I fell in love with this song because of the college football commercial so I had to search this and I am now in love with this song including it was just New Years so I played this song on New Years and New Years eve🎶🎵
I love to know we're did Ella sing the way she do. Should be making a movie about Ella like yesterday. To me she is the I singer in her era.
There are numerous covers of this song but this is Number 1.
I like on repeat this time of year
Good question...great song!
Beautiful singing. Beautiful song. :)
She is such a Beautiful woman and a to Fabulous Singer ❤❤❤❤

I'd ever be the one you chose
Out of the thousand invitations
You received
Ooh, but in case
I stand one little chance
Here comes
The jackpot question in advance

The greatest female vocalist.

NO ONE SINGS THIS SONG BETTER THAN ELLA‼️😻💄👄👏😍😍😍😍😍
+NycBeauty Karen Carpenter's version was pretty good though.
+NFL Sucks ass, you should boycott it!!! The Four Knights version... and the Orioles version. The Orioles had the biggest hit with it though.
This song makes me cry for some reason
