Ernestine Anderson - Love for Sale download song

Too darned hot!!

This illustrates the dilemma Jazz singers have. They sing lyrics, not play horns. There's a balance to be struck. To what extent can they ignore the melody and lyrics and improvise at will without sacrificing what the song is trying to convey? There's some fine jazz here, but as a song much of the meaning is sacrificed as far as I can see. For me. Ella gets it right. She can play around the melody a wee bit, but she clearly delivers the lyrics and their full meaning. I enjoyed this, but it's Ella I'll go back to.

Any idea of lineup for this track? Always thought Jeff Hamilton, Ray Brown and Monty Alexander but I was just a kid listening to my parents records and that may have been her later lineup...

Thats what she does it happend to me too!she is great!

The first time I heard this I was driving on a stretch of open road and I just let the groove take me! Love this track!

Funky version - love it

I love this album and own it on ... drum roll .... vinyl!

...talkin about the way the groove is set up at the outset... its alot of fun !
