Tags: 2011 | Cole Porter | Ella Fitzgerald | Gershwin | Icon: Love Songs | Lady Gaga | Michael Bublé | Reviews  She was known as the First Lady of Song for good reason: during her career, she recorded more than 2,000 songs, all of them sung with her distinctive pitch and phrasing. This CD presents Lady Ella’s best interpretations of the romantic side of the American songbook, including Cole Porter’s “Just One of Those Things” and the Gershwin classic “I’ve Got a Crush on You.” Fitzgerald’s versions of those songs—and others like “Someone to Watch Over Me”—continue to inspire singers today, from Michael Bublé to Lady Gaga.
