Review by John Bush
The Songbooks presents three tracks each from Ella Fitzgerald's tributes to the Gershwins, Jerome Kern, Johnny Mercer, Irving Berlin and Rodgers & Hart (the latter gets a fourth track as well). This is an even better single-disc summation of her Songbook years than Verve's later Best Of The Songbooks, featuring only her best performances: "Oh, Lady Be Good," "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man," "Laura," "Cheek to Cheek" and "The Lady Is a Tramp." ~ John Bush, All Music Guid Read More
