Ella Fitzgerald’s beloved 1960 holiday album for Verve Records finds the First Lady of Song singing her heart out on a 12-song set of Christmas classics and backed by a sympathetic studio orchestra arranged and conducted by Frank DeVol. She sings (and swings) such timeless holiday fare as “Jingle Bells,” “Sleigh Ride,” “Winter Wonderland,” and more! She puts her singular stamp on everything from a sultry vamp like “What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve?” to the sweet and cozy “The Christmas Song.” Even potentially shopworn standards like “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town” sound fresher when they’re coming from the great Ella Fitzgerald.
