I'm not a big fan of scattin, but this entire clip was just magical... including Ed singing!

The First Lady of Jazz and Mr. Cool Cat. Over the years we have enjoyed may great singers and songstress, Eli immho, is one of the few who could do it all: sing, sang, story telling, phrasing, scat, and blow!

She is one maybe 2 or 3 that I would say could be the "GOAT". She is the first "Diva"!

I remember this, she was one of the best. She struggled with her weight for some reason. Sammy was such a cool guy he could do anything! Class acts I miss them 🥁

[MagicBus]

The love and admiration in his face when watching her sing was priceless!

Two of the greatest performers/voices ever! What a gift!🥰

[jamesbradshaw]

Ella Fitzgerald, probably the best singer of all time along with the great Sammy Davis, were both brilliant musicians, they could make any song swing, they could make a duck swing and quake at the same time by just listen to those 2 great people sing
