Album Cover: Ella and Rosie

The original LP artwork for Ella Fitzgerald's first Songbook for Verve Records. Producer Norman Granz wanted Nelson Riddle for the project but he wasn't available so the honours went to Buddy Bregman. Three years later, Ella and Nelson did join forces on the George & Ira Gershwin Songbook project.



The track I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry in the current playlist comes from this rare Rosemary Clooney album with artwork that seems to have been influenced by a Doris Day movie or two!
