what a lady and the way she speak is so soft and sweet, she is great and an american real icon

Ella is the greatest female singer of all time. Singing seemed to be more natural for her than speaking

Ella was in a class all by herself. What a voice. She could still scat like no other person could. Thank you Ella for gracing this earth.

Ella is so humble, she says she hasn't rehearsed and then sings like she's still 25 yrs old. On top of that her mind is sharp as a tack as she immediately adaps the song to make it a personal message for the occasion. Because she always valued her audience so much. It's almost impossible to grasp the full measure of Ella's genius and the complicated emotions that ran through her. She tended to show a very nice basically happy exterior and was incredibly private, but I think some of what seemed like being guarded or too proper to spill her feeling was also due to her being so fast in terms of intelligence that she didn't have the patience to slow down to answer the same questions over and over. Maybe that's why I always sense a touch of loneliness from her, there are so few people who could truly keep up with her?

Ms. Ella, you were simply the best hands down! Rest in paradise!

Perhaps the greatest voice ever, in any genre!!

My eyes are having the damnedest time staying dry after watching this. I just got introduced to Ella Fitzgerald musically and what a discovery. Her voice been helping me lower my anxiety

Her voice stays pure and untouched by time.

Amazing, I cried all the way through her song. I saw her three times and miss her so much. 20th NAACP Image Award-1988 by the way

The way Al Jarreau is enjoying himself is so enchanting.

I listen to Ella all the time. She’s my favorite singer. I’ll watch her perform live when she’s young and full, and then see this and my heart is so full because she looks so sweet! She lived long and it makes me happy to see how gentle they are with her. I’d give anything to be able to go back in time just to see her live. I envy the ones who did!

everyone's crying. what a legend!

LEGEND. Everyone in that room had better thank their lucky stars that they were present for Ella’s performance. WOW. I am sure that all present remember this night...... there will never be another........ ELLA!

I miss Mrs. Ella Fitzgerald. She's such an icon and touched everyone with her scats and her amazing voice. RIP ELLA FITZGERALD 1917-1996

I’ve watched Ella’s documentary on KZfaq. This video of her singing in her golden age brought tears to my eyes. She is beautiful and gracious. I luv her angelic , sassy ( at time ) voice. She’s definitely an American ICON. ( ADOS )

I can't watch Mother Ella in this performance enough. She truly reminds us of the simple and happy times of life. She is very much missed.

A classy lady for all times. Voice unmatched and superb!!!

She killed it!!!

What 💎 Gem of a Voice, fantastic Wow Wow Wow

I almost cried when I saw Nippy sitting smiling so gently 3:33 :')

Ella is the soundtrack of my life. What a pleasure to see her be honored, and to have the opportunity to hear her sing one of my favorites.

Everything and everyone in the room new that this Legend had been ill for quite awhile. Seeing her in person and on TV was a treasure. I remember this special and was so glad I didn't miss it.

She is the mother of black American Talent. All of the great talents in the room gave horror to her while she sang because they all stood on her shoulders

Ella is a total legend ! So wonderful to see her like this !

Age didn't keep her down. As a child I knew from the Memorex commercials. As a 56 year older man. I just discovered her silk voice. I fall asleep to her music every night. That women had a voice of silk.

thanks to live for Ella´s talent. She will be always in my heart.

I'm so blessed to hear this song on this planet.

Phrasing phrasing phrasing.... Ella Fitzgerald was the greatest

That's a PROFESSIONAL

I love you

This is how Whitney should have gracefully aged. smh. rip Ella.

SAMBA OF BRASIL....

Ella I don’t doubt you can spit bars

Did Florida Evans want to laugh ?

Slap in the face for all autotuners.

Who is that @ 3:15

Year? Place? You KZfaq folks are getting so lazy with your uploads. If you want subscribers to stay, then be thorough.

Everyone on stage and in the audience is black, except at the end of the video, there is a pan, and Pat Morita is front and center. I guess he was considered cool by everyone.

she aged so badly but she still has her spunk.rip
