The "First Lady of Song" had a very distinct way of interpreting a lyric. Partly through her unique phrasin, vocal tone and improvisational style, anything she deftly approached took on her trademarks. And so it is with this collection of love songs, many from the storied writers of the Great American Songbook, for which, in part, Miss Ella helped to make them standards. Highlights include the Gershwin Brothers "Someone to Watch Over Me," and "I've Got a Crush on You," Cole Porter's bouncy "From This Moment On" and Irving Berlin's classic (also popularized by Patsy Cline) "Always". Just like fine wine, these songs have gotten better over time with the help of the late, great Ella Fitzgerald.
