Ella has been my girl for ages! nothing gets as good as her voice and style. Has anyone here heard of the record that just came out a few weeks ago called "Love Letters From Ella"? its GREAT! it features never before heard collaborations with Ella and the likes of Count Basie and the London Symphony Orchestra. and the beast part is that its in hi-def audio CD so you know it gunna sound at its best. if you did'nt know know you do, look it up over here: http://www.concordmusicgroup.com/albums/CCD-30213/

Imagine, Ella Fitzgerald and Count Basie, together for the first time, after all these years.

Don't be a tool and use the "never before heard collaborations" line. I think it's safe to say this has all been released a time or two before.

Repeat:

If one or more of the artists involved is dead at the time of the "collaboration," it ain't collaboration.

Probably meant "number of the beast part."

I got Ella corroborating with Senator McCarthy & William Demerest on a live version of "Clap Hands, Here Comes Uncle Charlie" recorded live at Mr. Kelley's Pogo Schtick in 1953, with Lester Young in the audience and Buddy Rich, as always, on drums.

Will that one be on this new ablum?

Some of the best "collaborations" I've ever had were with people who were dead at the time.

Ha!

I always confuse William Demerest with William "Bub" Frawley.

I am also fed up with posthumous collaborations between musicians created by remix engineers. If the artist didn't have a say in overdubbing of other musicians, it's of no interest to me. The one exception might be Slam Stewart's final release, which required some overdubs to complete after his death from congestive heart failure.
