Description
Ella Fitzgerald had the world at her feet during the late Fifties and early Sixties, recording her Songbooks and delighting concert audiences across the globe. The statistics of thirteen Grammies and over 40 million records only began to tell the story. But health problems blighted her life from the Seventies onwards, and while she defied doctors’ orders to return to the stage after quintuple heart bypass surgery in 1986, her 26th performance at New York’s Carnegie Hall five years later was the last time her public saw her. The very best of the legend that is Ella Fitzgerald is across this 2LP set.
