FMM: Beguine here

Since we talked about Ella Fitzgerald during last week's Friday Magic Madness feature, let's continue the topic and talk about another one of her popular songs.

In 1956, she released an album entitled "Ella Fitzgerald sings the Cole Porter Song Book." 

Cole Porter was a popular songwriter in the 1930s, and one of his most famous hits was also popularized by Ella Fitzgerald.

"Begin the Beguine" has been sung and performed so many times through many decades by so many big artists. From Artie Shaw's instrumental version, to Perry Como's laid-back version, to Julio Iglesias' Spanish version.

But thanks to her voice and vocal styles, Ella Fitzgerald's version is still the best for me.
