Man, what a great cover! representing the best of American 20th Century arts. Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong 1956. A desert island disc for sure. So good they had to do it again in 1957 (“Ella and Louis Again”)
Cover photo: Phil Stern Producer: Norman Granz
With the Oscar Peterson Trio of Ray Brown on bass and Herb Ellis on guitar plus Buddy Rich on drums.
“In such a palmy setting, Armstrong is in simple, unraffish condition and Ella is in impeccable voice”
A classic recording of standards including “Moonlight in Vermont,” They Can’t Take That Away From Me,” “Tenderly,” “A Foggy Day,” “Stars Fell on Alabama,” “Cheek to Cheek,” “The Nearness of You,” and others.

Happy Hour by

I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like Coca-cola
C-o-l-a cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said lola
L-o-l-a lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Well we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said dear boy wont you come home with me
Well Im not the worlds most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my lola
