Celebrating Ella Fitzgerald
The singer Ella Fitzgerald was born today in 1917. So, in celebration of this day, I’m sharing a recording of her singing “ It Don’t Mean A Thing If it Ain’t Got That Swing.” I like that recording because it makes me smile and I hope it has the same effect on others. I send everyone best wishes and much love now and always. You can listen to the song here.
