20th Century Masterworks

Dubbed 'The First Lady Of Song', Ella Fitzgerald was the most popular female jazz singer in the US for more than half a century. In her lifetime, she won 13 Grammy awards and sold over 40 million albums.
Mother of jazz pianist/singer Ray Brown Jr., ex-wife of jazz double-bassist Ray Brown.
Born on April 25, 1917 in Newport News, Virginia, USA, Ella Fitzgerald passed away on June 15, 1996 at the age of 79 in Beverly Hills, California, USA.

Ella Fitzgerald's iconic 'Sings the Essential Cole Porter Song Book' presented on 180g yellow vinyl, includes new specially prepared liner notes by Penguin Guide to Jazz's writer Brian Morton and by Paris' prestigious Jazz Magazine.

"Ella's "songbook" albums for Verve were among Norman Granz's great successes, and The Cole Porter Songbook became the commercial rock on which Verve was built." - Penguin Guide To Jazz

"The ease with which Ella Fitzgerald interprets these timeless songs is hardly indicative of it, but this album was nonetheless a turning point for the singer." - Jazz Magazine

"Ella Fitzgerald had the ability to personalize some of the most recognizable material from the foremost songwriters in American popular music history. In this instance, the combination of Cole Porter's words and Fitzgerald's interpretation of them created one of the most sought-after sessions in vocal history - embraced by jazz and pop fans alike, transcending boundaries often associated with those genres." - Al Campbell, AllMusic
