Radio Broadcast of Ella Fitzgerald and Chick Webb from the Savoy Ballroom, Harlem, NY. I beleive this recording to be from early 1939 before the decline in Chick Webbs health. Arguably one of Ella and Chick’s finest works. Enjoy.

She had such a high pitch, light voice back then. Very interesting how she changed over the years.
This doesn't compare with modern RAP MUSIC…
That picture of Duke in the audience just in AWE of Ella… amazing
Love me some Ella❤❤❤❤❤
