Never would have known she had a bond with Marilyn Monroe.

I had no idea. But I will say this about that. There has never been anyone, anywhere, ever, who sang the classic jazz songs as well as Ella.

@Harmonium1923 When I want to revisit my childhood Christmases, I listen to this, it was the soundtrack of those times.😊

Yes ! And MM helped Ella get a gig at the Mocambo nightclub by promising to be seated in the front row whenever Ella performed. 😊

@SW-User She definitely reached deep. Complex to consider she was notoriously shy.

Matt85 · 36-40, M

@Matt85 Well.... perhaps in Monroe's case. Ella was 79.

But esthetically I feel ya.
