its a disease! A fine new Ella at 100 4 cd box set has been released recently. Much better!

Ella Fitzgerald whose 100th birthday we celebrate this year, was unsurpassed as an expressive vocalist who dominated the musical scene, whether singing little ditties or the works of seasoned composers like Duke Ellington, Cole Porter or the Gershwins. To mark her many contributions in music across jazz & pop, we are proud to present 100 songs culled from the many recordings she made for Decca & Verve, often with some of the best musical units of the time. This extraordinary collection is bound to delight everyone with a deep abiding love for music in general & vocal music in particular.

I have to say i thought that this was rather disappointing too, given the predictable song choice, and the fact it cuts off at 1966 - which is a great shame given how much wonderful work she did for twenty-five years after that.

Yes. There are a ton of Ella compilations out there. And here, we all thought Elvis led the pack in comps!

Ella sang with six different labels and does not have a ton of compilations from any of them, and those that are out there are put together with more intelligence than most of Elvis's.
