Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong - Ella Louis
Review by Titin Fitriani
The album "Ella & Louis" by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong is a timeless classic that showcases the incredible vocal talents of two of the greatest jazz singers of all time. Released in 1956, the album features a collection of duets and solos that highlight the unique chemistry between Fitzgerald and Armstrong, as well as their individual abilities to interpret and improvise on classic jazz standards.
From the opening track "Can't We Be Friends?" to the closing number "A Fine Romance," "Ella & Louis" is a masterclass in jazz singing. Fitzgerald's smooth and silky voice blends perfectly with Armstrong's gravelly and soulful tone, creating a beautiful contrast that is both playful and poignant. Whether they are trading verses on "Cheek to Cheek" or harmonizing on "Moonlight in Vermont," Fitzgerald and Armstrong demonstrate a deep understanding of each other's styles and a mutual respect for the art of jazz.
One of the standout tracks on the album is the classic ballad "Tenderly," which showcases Fitzgerald's ability to convey emotion with her voice. Her tender rendition of the song is complemented perfectly by Armstrong's muted trumpet, which adds a melancholic touch to the proceedings. Another highlight is the upbeat and playful "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off," which features Armstrong's trademark scatting and Fitzgerald's impeccable timing.

I love you Shannon ❤️ Always
It's very clear our love is here to stay
Not for a year but ever and a day
Oh the radio and a telephone, movies that we know
May just be passing fancies and in time may go
But oh my dear our love is here to stay
Together we're going on a long, long way
In time the rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay but our love is here to stay
It's very clear our love is here to stay
Not for a year but ever and a day
The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies and in time may go
But oh my dear our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay but our love is here to stay
But oh my dear our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay but forever and a day
Our love is here to stay, our love is here to stay
Not for a year but ever and a day
Oh the radio and a telephone, movies that we know
May just be passing fancies and in time may go
But oh my dear our love is here to stay
Together we're going on a long, long way
In time the rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay but our love is here to stay
It's very clear our love is here to stay
Not for a year but ever and a day
The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies and in time may go
But oh my dear our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay but our love is here to stay
But oh my dear our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay but forever and a day
Our love is here to stay, our love is here to stay
damn that shit on fire
After having listened to this song hundreds of times throughout my life, it wasn't until today that I noticed the lil' transition Louis does when he hands it off to Ella around the 1:16 mark by saying "take it, Ella." In my head, I just imagine Ella standing there waiting while smiling at Louis and him beaming when he passes the song over to her because he knows he's about to hear one of the most gorgeous female voices of all time.
Nuggets
This one of the better renditions and they're dynamite together !!!
I feel that Ella Fitzgerald is really good but them to together is incredibly
love this song! So Classic!
For some reason, while I was doing chores today, this song kept going through my head, only I didn't know the words, just the melody. I knew it was a song, but, for hours, any kind of lyrics kept eluding me. After nine hours of trying to figure it out, I finally remembered "our love is here to stay
I'm loving your music choices, Wolfy! A true pleasure to watch/listen to this :)
