Ella Fitzgerald - All The Hits And More 1936-62 (2025)
Ella Fitzgerald was een van de grote zangeressen van de 20e eeuw, een songstyliste die zich gemakkelijk kon bewegen in de werelden van jazz, swing, big band, R&B en verfijnde pop, en die de standaard zette voor veel artiesten die volgden, omdat ze een grote albumverkoper werd in de latere decennia van haar carrière.
Ze had echter ook een aanzienlijk aantal hits in de pop- en R&B-markt, en in de kwart eeuw van 1936 tot het begin van de jaren 60 had ze meer dan 60 vermeldingen in de verschillende Amerikaanse en Britse hitlijsten, inclusief duetten met andere artiesten.
Deze 73 tracks tellende 3-CD collectie bevat al haar hits uit dit tijdperk, waaronder haar nummer 1's met "A-Tisket, A Tasket", "I'm Making Believe" en "Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall", plus een aantal andere titels van haar releases op de Decca en Verve labels gedurende deze periode.
Het bevat hits met Chick Webb & His Orchestra, het Benny Goodman Orchestra en haar eigen Savoy Eight and Famous Orchestra, en bevat haar duet hits met de Mills Brothers, Ink Spots, Louis Armstrong, Louis Jordan en Delta Rhythm Boys. Het bevat ook opnames met Duke Ellington, Leroy Kirkland, Gordon Jenkins en andere topbands uit die tijd.
