They’ll never be another I’m 75 and I have idolised her since I was 13 If there is a heaven and I’m lucky enough to get there, I would kneel at the feet of Miss Ella
Let this be a lesson to humanity: Ella Fitzgerald grew up in a single Mom household, never knew who her father was and dirt poor. Her albums are the most quintessential of the most elitist jazz collections. There are poor kids today who are looked down upon and no chances or considerations given. Just think of that. Ella Fitzgerald, the greatest singer who ever lived, a legend and the First Lady of song forever.
Oh such a huge favourite of mine my dear brothers played records on a radio gram they put together and they had most of Ella's I have happy plus tearful memories as my darling brothers are at peace and I miss them so
Dame? A North American cannot be a Dame. Even if some people like to use the word just for somebody older, or accomplished, or who runs a house. The closest they can ever come is a DBE after their name, and never an actual title.
On this day in 1968 {April 28th} Ella Fitzgerald performed "Mr. Paganini" on the CBS-TV musical variety program, 'The Ed Sullivan Show'... In 1961 it reached #20 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Tracks chart... And on the same 'Sullivan' show she also performed her covered version of "Can't Buy Me Love", four years earlier in May of 1964 Verve Records released "Can't Buy Me Love", b/w "Hello Dolly", neither side made Billboard's Top 100 chart, but "Can't Buy Me Love" did peak at #24 on Germany's GfK Entertainment chart... Between 1936 and 1963 the Virginia native had fifty-seven charted records, twenty made the Top 10 with four reaching #1, "Goodnight, My Love" {1936}, "A-Tisket, A-Tasket" {1938}, "I'm Making Believe" {1944}, and "Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall" {1944}... Ella Jane Fitzgerald passed away at the age of 79 on June 15th, 1996... May she R.I.P.
F***!!! Almighty God proves his existence here and now in 1961 on a stage in London. THE very best. THE BEST! What a singer. What a great performer. What a living musical instrument. What an amazing humble and sweet talent!
There are hardly words available to describe the level and depths of her talent and artistry. She truly knew how to serve a song. There will never ever be another Ella Fitzgerald.
Brilliant -- just plain incomparable, Lady Ella! Absolutely NO one can do this song like Ella! But then, she sings every song she does with such great aplomb. RIP, dear Ella. (BTW, Celine can't even touch this song like Ella, though she tries, because NO one in the world could or ever will do scat like Ella. Mel Torme tries too, but no!
The concert was over in Carnegie Hall The maestro took bow after bow He said, "My dear friends I have given my all I'm sorry, it's all over now" When from the gallery way up high There suddenly came this mournful cry "Mr. Paganini, please play my rhapsody And if you cannot play it, won't you sing it? And if you can't sing it, you'll simply have to " "Mr. Paganini, we breathlessly await Your masterful baton, go on and sling it And if you can't sling it, you'll simply have to " We heard your repertoire and at the final bar We greeted you with a round applause But what a great ovation, your interpretation " "Mr. Paganini, now don't you be a meanie What have you up your sleeve? Come on and spring it And if you don't spring it, that means you'll have to " "Mr. Paganini, please play my rhapsody And if you cannot play it, won't you sing it? And if the boys is bopping ain't no need in stopping " "Mr. Paganini, we breathlessly await Your masterful baton, go on and sling it If the boys are bopping ain't no need in stopping" A Tisket a tasket I lost my yellow basket We heard your repertoire and at the final bar We greeted you with a round applause But what a great ovation, your interpretation "Listen Paganini, now don't you be a meanie What have you up your sleeve? Come on and spring it And if you don't spring it, that means you have to" We've heard your repertoire and at the final bar We greeted you, we greeted you with wild applause But what a great ovation, your interpretation "Mr. Paganini, now don't you be a meanie What have you up your sleeve? Come on and spring it And if you don't spring it, that means you have to swing it"
The dress seems to be the same so I assume it is the same show but of course there is a switch in piano players. Lou Levy starts out with Mr Paganini. They had a hit with it in 1961 on Ella in Hollywood recorded live at the Crescendo. Then we have Oscar Peterson at the keys for Round Midnight. And hey, her cadenza at the end? Wow! I wonder what else they played and if there is more available from the broadcast?
Mr Paganini par Ella : un souvenir mémorable en juillet 1969 lors du festival de jazz d'Antibes Juan les pins. Personnel : tommy Flanagan ( piano ) ; éd Thigpen ( drums ) ... J'avais une vingtaine d'années, voilà comment je suis tombé dans la marmite du jazz !
I watched Celine singing this song, and I thought it was great. Not come close to the perfection of Ella, but I really do not think that was the intention of Celine. She knows her limitations. She obviously wanted to make a tribute. And she did a good job.
There has never been an equal to the talent this Lady had. In the sixties, I thought Mama Cass Elliot might come close, but her untimely death robbed her of a chance to prove it.
is she singing about the legendary classical violist/composer paganini because if so... IT WOULD BE FREAGIN' AWESOME! One of the greatest and most virtuose singing about one of the earlier greatest and most virtuose =D
That's something of the idea, but it's really about the unique relationship and sense of expectation which an audience has of a great live performer. It's also implicit that the performer is relishing the tricks he has up his sleeve ( referred to in the lyric ). All in all, one of the most glamorous songs ever written.
All jokes aside, not a single living soul *EVER* covers this song. *PLEASE* , somebody freaking do it. Give it your all. I will too for fun, but I'll suck.

Personne ne peut..pourra.. remplacer cette grande Dame ..du jazz..
Effortlessly perfection. I literally cried. I only wish I could’ve seen her. My absolute favorite!!
They’ll never be another
I’m 75 and I have idolised her since I was 13
If there is a heaven and I’m lucky enough to get there, I would kneel at the feet of Miss Ella
Nobody! Repeat: NOBODY comes within a 1,000 miles of her!
E' più' clarino la sua voce che il clarino stesso!
10000000000 I'd say
You can't say that enough.
So true. She was a gift.
Mr. Pagannini??
2022 still listening and watching...
untouchable. there will never be another like her.
It tears at the heart, because it's so true.
Greatest singer ever.
Probably the best to ever do anything lol

Her voice is so angelic and soothing. Akin to a warm embrace. Just Beautiful.

Don Wardell thanks for the post. You hit the nail on the head!
What a great comment. Thank you!
Her rendition of Round Midnight was Heavenly!!!
Oh such a huge favourite of mine my dear brothers played records on a radio gram they put together and they had most of Ella's I have happy plus tearful memories as my darling brothers are at peace and I miss them so
😘
She will live on for many, many generations of music lovers. She is so wonderful!
There should be a Love button. I had only listened to the song, but the video is as great as the song itself.
Dame Ella had the best voice ever. Simply love hearing her sing. And she has such fun singing this masterpiece of jazz.
Dame? A North American cannot be a Dame. Even if some people like to use the word just for somebody older, or accomplished, or who runs a house. The closest they can ever come is a DBE after their name, and never an actual title.
@@llddau I don't support the "Woke" police!
As I said, "DAME"!
lets give credit to The creator for giving ella such a beautiful voice God rest her soal
YES! Thank goodness, Ive been looking for this version for ages. Legend of all legends, GOAT of all GOATs
Music! Ella looks beautiful. The band is perfection. Classy. Classic.

Wow,I love her so much. She isthe greatest voice
Her voice, the tone. I love it
F***!!! Almighty God proves his existence here and now in 1961 on a stage in London. THE very best. THE BEST! What a singer. What a great performer. What a living musical instrument. What an amazing humble and sweet talent!
this is from her European tour in 1961,, the concert in Berlin is AWESOME !! This # from Berlin was never arranged better!
She was just unbelievable! Wow ! 🙏🏻
In the second song in the clip "Round Midnight", the pianist is the great Oscar Peterson!
Speaking of Virtuosi !
Such an amazing singer and musician she was.
There are hardly words available to describe the level and depths of her talent and artistry. She truly knew how to serve a song. There will never ever be another Ella Fitzgerald.
Alan Hope maybe an instrumentalist. Herbie ?
Всегда ,как в первый раз ! талантлива и неповторима
LISTEN PAGANINI !!!
Thank you for reposting this! I wondered where it went.
This is wonderful. Thank you for posting it. Ella's performance of Mr Paganini from the April 28, 1968 Ed Sullivan Show is also now on TH-cam.
I only realized at the end of this clip that i hadn't breathed all the way through... totally fixated by her voice.
I never cared much for moonlight skies
I never blinked back at fireflies !
Oh, my! I love this rendition of this most fun and beautiful composition. Thanks for sharing this.
THE BEST!
SUPER.....!!! Thanks for posting this great video.
And who said Gods aren't still coming to Earth disguised as mortals? Talent divine.
Ella,You are the best,forever!
Fun fact: Ella Fitzgerald, the greatest jazz singer of all time, had such horrible stage fright and THAT'S why she closes her eyes.
And why she goes straight from one song to the next, never soaking up applause. Just giving.
Quel plaisir,, enchantement et bonheur
Merci Dame Fitzgerald
Incomparable
Wow, what a treasure thanks for putting this up I hope it gets lots of views!!
Excellent~!
Simply amazing and calming thank you Sirius Sinatra
@bachboy111 That's Lou Levy - wonder pianist! Played for Ella at many concerts I saw years ago!
Juste incroyable ♥️💣

"Mr. Paganini, now don't you be a meanie
What have you up your sleeve? Come on and spring it

Isn't this the most wonderful song? I don't know of a song which exhilarates me as much.
Ella is just wonderful
My God what a gifted woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The greatest of them all, male or female.
hah! zero dislikes! who would ever dislike this? oh, bad eggs would
What a singer!!!
MOTHER has arrived.

This was just insane! Queen!
AWESOME
Pure gold ✨️ 💛
What can we say? Just listen and join this marvelheuse piece
@largsfairlie You've summed up the rush of gorgeousness that swept over me the minute the post started. So disarmingly pure. What can you do but gush!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a force
Great!
Swing it, Ella!!
i have yet to hear a scatter better than ella.
so true, yet to hear it myself
The goddess.
Ella is The First Lady of Song! Looks like Ray Brown back there ;-)
sHE WAS THE BEST OF THE BEST
Oh, her improv!!
Sam Coslow, super super !!!!!!!!!!.
Classic!
WOW...the one and only..regina
I watched Celine singing this song, and I thought it was great.
Not come close to the perfection of Ella, but I really do not think that was the intention of Celine. She knows her limitations.
She obviously wanted to make a tribute. And she did a good job.
Ella, love you xx
очень очень душевно
There has never been an equal to the talent this Lady had. In the sixties, I thought Mama Cass Elliot might come close, but her untimely death robbed her of a chance to prove it.
Very interesting perception. I'd never thought of that. It's a tantalizing idea, and a shame that we can't know.
So fabulous. Surpasses her earlier Decca. Version
As of May 23, 2021, 22 defectives have thumbsdowned this, thereby making a strong implicit case for eugenics.
oh years ago my friends and me tried to copy Mr Paganini what a giggle ha ha by Ella
is she singing about the legendary classical violist/composer paganini
because if so... IT WOULD BE FREAGIN' AWESOME!
One of the greatest and most virtuose singing about one of the earlier greatest and most virtuose =D
That's something of the idea, but it's really about the unique relationship and sense of expectation which an audience has of a great live performer. It's also implicit that the performer is relishing the tricks he has up his sleeve ( referred to in the lyric ). All in all, one of the most glamorous songs ever written.
I always thought it was...
@@bobtaylor170 I think you know what you are talking about!
@@donnmckinney9057 , thank you! It's my interpretation, anyway. This may be my favorite song, period.
Ladybird ❤️
The 2nd song is 'Round Midnight -- not Airmail Special.
@direfranchement What a lovely thought
Well
Fred, you better believe it no body.
@direfranchement She's a godess indeed!
All jokes aside, not a single living soul *EVER* covers this song. *PLEASE* , somebody freaking do it. Give it your all. I will too for fun, but I'll suck.
Nikki Yanofsky has a version of it here on TH-cam.
Великая королева джаза.
Who's the pianist on the first recording (Mr. Paganini)? What a marvelous accompaniment!
La Sublime e mi fermo qui
@bringtheRain223 That can be said about a lot of singers.
WAO WAO WAO WAO
