Ella Fitzgerald, The Ray Charles Singers - Smooth Sailing
Review by आधारभूत ब्रह्माण्ड
Smooth Sailing, the collaborative album by Ella Fitzgerald and The Ray Charles Singers, is a timeless classic that showcases the incredible vocal talents of both artists. Released in 1962, the album features a collection of 12 tracks that blend together jazz, swing, and pop genres seamlessly.
The album opens with the title track "Smooth Sailing," a jazzy tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Fitzgerald's smooth, velvety voice is perfectly complemented by the harmonies of The Ray Charles Singers. Other standout tracks include "All of Me," "I'm Beginning to See the Light," and "I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good)."
Throughout the album, Fitzgerald's impeccable vocals shine bright, effortlessly soaring over the lush arrangements. The Ray Charles Singers add an extra layer of depth and richness to the tracks, creating a beautiful blend of voices.

That scat blows me away everytime!
Ahhhhhh……. Nothing smoother than Ella singing, good old Va. gal….. don’t make em’ ……her or the music, any more.
The best version.
I love your scatting ella R.I.P you will forever be our jazz queen!
The Charlie Parker at 2:02 made me crack up
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air brought me here.
Turn the playback speed up a notch if you really wanna hear her scat
Somewhere there's music
Une belle histoire de navigation.
Love her or hate her she's speaking straight facts
Ella could sing the Telephone Book and make it sound groovy.
Great!
Ok, I feel really uneducated here...I didn’t know Ella was the queen of skat. Fantastic!
I'll echo my superlatives from the GMA post a couple of days earlier. Ella is hitting her "Verve" voice by this time, and it's where Granz steps in and...well..."musical history," as they say. Not that many artists got that proverbial second bite of the apple. Ella did, in spades. If you want to flash-forward another quarter century, dig her encore performance of "C-Jam Blues" with the JATP All-Stars coupled with the Basie band (oh YEAH) as the closer of the "Jazz at the Santa Monica Civic '72" set. OMFG! Her scat trades with the soloists are very much in the Smooth-Sailing-pocket, plus another 22 years worth of barrel-aging on Ella's pipes (her duel with Roy Eldridge is worth the price of admission). Granz dealt her the songbook and Ella-As-Horn cards simultaneously, and it paid off. Decca is in hand-off mode here: a great, and prophetic side for all concerned.
Very groovy -- I hadn't heard this one. It's interesting to hear her toward the end of her tenure with the highly commercial Decca -- just before the beginning of the celebrated association with Norman Granz. The Jones-Doggett keys team sounds terrific! Definitely a transitional period for Ella, even though she had eschewed words on occasion before.
It's cool! Great find! Thank you :)
Whoa!!!!!!
