Personnel: Ella Fitzgerald; Nelson Riddle Orchestra.
On this scintillating collection of standards written by one of the 20th century's greatest American songwriting teams, and performed by one of the country's finest female interpreters of popular song, Ella Fitzgerald brings her signature vocal subtlety and lightness of touch to the works of George and Ira Gershwin. Culling the cream of the crop from a five-album set, this best-of includes such sophisticated classics as "Fascinating Rhythm," "A Foggy Day," and "S'Wonderful," all set to vintage 1950s string arrangements that provide a lush backdrop for one of the most instantly recognizable voices in the history of popular music.
