#GreatAlbums1950s - TOP 10 - #EllaFitzgerald – Sings the Cole Porter Song Book (1956). Porter’s familiar earworms thrive under Ella’s readings, which bring out both the joys (“Anything Goes,” “It’s De-Lovely”) and tragedies (a devastating “Miss Otis Regrets”) inherent in the Great American Songbook. At the top of her powers, Ella inaugurated Verve Records on this double-LP, gaining ground as a traditional pop singer while reviving her status as one of the premier jazz divas.
Sur la Denon de GranMuM, ça envoit du jazz ! (ça déborde un peu dans la rue...mais ça va faire du bien aux oreilles des voisins catho-bourges-patriarcaux...)
Après on va se mettre des trucs de hippies !
On this day in 1964 #EllaFitzgerald became the first artist to hit the charts with a cover of a song by #thebeatles
"Say you don't need no diamond rings
And I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of things
That money just can't buy
I don't care too much for money
Money can't buy me love"
If I had fuck you money I’d use it for the vicarious fuck you mission of funding anyone—assault victims, stiffed vendors, ANYONE—who couldn’t afford to sue him on their own. Bury that motherfucker in all the lawsuits he deserves.
