Ella for Lovers

~ Release by Ella Fitzgerald (see all versions of this release, 3 available)

Annotation

Notes

One of these slightly non-sensical Verve collections...
If you're a lover(s), and a complete Fitzgerald newcomer, then maybe this is for you. Otherwise, keep your money for a better bundle.

#8 is from 14 April 1960.
