@JB-gr3jlمنذ 3 سنوات Frank Sinatra once said the only singer he was ever nervous singing with was Ella Fitzgerald. He was afraid he couldn't sing to her standard. A really id="hidden1" class="buttons"> great compliment to her singing. They did a duet of That's Why the Lady is a Tramp. Definitely worth checking out. Thanks for the reaction. ....وسعت 305

You will of course hear of Billy Holiday and her distinctive voice.her singing 'Strange Fruit' is devastating, crushing, timely.
