There is so much to love about Ella Fitzgerald, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. This album is in perfect progression from Ella Fitzgerald!
This song stands out greatly from the others. I was truly moved when I heard A Ship Without A Sail. To Keep My Love Alive - Well, here we get a bit more meaning. Dancing On The Ceiling is almost impossible to review. A great put together song. Strong percussion and poignant lyrics of this track really gets under your skin. Manhattan is a good listen every once in a while. Johnny One Note is a very catchy tune. |titile| is a sure sign of something most of us are experiencing, maturity. Once you hear Spring Is Here, you will listen to it over and over. It Never Entered My Mind is nothing but pure genius. Album opener This Can’t Be Love is a bright, upbeat ditty. Put Thou Swell into car stereo for your highway driving My Romance sets the tone for the entire album. Where Or When is a fine track on any terms. Little Girl Blue hits the heart.
