...I bought EllaFitzgerald when told by three of my friends that she could make your life better; this is true. It's partly the quality of the songs she sings on these two albums - all jazz standards by wonderful composers such as Gershwin and Cole Porter - and partly her beautiful, warm voice that make the CDs so immensely likable. Her singing has a sweetness, purity and naturalness that everyone can appreciate; it is also expressive, although it is better at conveying joy, exuberance and playfulness than sadness. I have listened to these CDs so much that they have been worn out; they are perfect for cocktails, relaxing and romantic evenings in....

Advantages: A compact CD with excellent repertoire Disadvantages: May not be know to the younger generation
...A Classic old time favourite by EllaFitzgerald with excellent vocals and the timbre unique to Ella herself; optimum recording exceeds some modern Jazz in tonality and expression. EllaFitzgerald provides good enjoyable listening and a splendid addition to previous volumes - a veritable Jazz experience, well recommended.

Advantages: Easy listerning - Relax mode - Good recording Disadvantages: Sax solo a bit shorter - I like more !

It was really so relaxing and comfortable to enjoy this album anytime you like, even at the lower volume. Some of the tracks are really a good artwork in all ways - from melody, instruments arrangements to the performance of the singer, like track 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 13 and 16.
It is an album of good old days from Ella's collections: "Best Of The Songbooks - Ballads, The - EllaFitzgerald". It is worth to own her album! I lately bought another Ella's album (with Louis) but was still playing this very often.
A rough guide on individual track:
1. Oh, Lady Be Good! ~~ 5/5
I get caught when she sang "..oh….sweet and lovely, lady...
