Why Ella is Bella

I have been made fun of for nearly my entire life for the type of music I like.  I have always loved oldies and while my brother and sister would ask for the station to be set on contemporary music, I always sided with my parents and asked for oldies.  I love many types of music from the 20's through today, but I love the 40's through 60's.  I think the 70's were for the most part one of the saddest decades for music.  Yes, I know this is hotly debated at family gatherings all over the world and ranks right up there with "Tastes great"/"Less Filling" but I've made my decision.  Once in sixth grade, my oldest sister told me I wasn't normal because I liked oldies.  I don't care, simply, unapologetically, and in all other ways do not care.  I do want to introduce any who may not know the joy of hearing people who can actually sing, to people who do no need hours upon hours of studio time to try and hit the correct note.  Nor do they need sir mix and fix at the board to correct their flaws digitally.  If you do not know her already, I would like to introduce you to Ella Fitzgerald.  She has a beautiful voice and though she performed for huge crowds, you get the feeling she would do this if she wasn't getting paid and you were the only one in the room.  Also, she is the only person I have ever heard scat that I do not want to give an impromtu tracheotomy.  She is just so cool and I hope you like it.  If not though, I don't care.  Check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_rbh1LqCxk&feature.  Enjoy!
