didnt she sing walk on by to not sure

Can't believe you've never heard of Ella Fitzgerald!!
One of the greatest female singers of all time. Has sang with all the best singers & bands in the world.

Celine is okay but not a patch on Ella.

Mau

Sorry, can't bear Celine. and she could do with a pie or ten down her neck!
No offence meant to those who like her, each the their own and all that.

honest mau

what did she sing

im only 28 is she an oldie??

Sorry to be a kill joy but I cant stand her - I think I must have been one of the very few people to walk away after seeing her on stage - through the first song!

Fortunatly, she was not the act I was going to see....was a Princes Trust thing. I love strong female singers, Annie Lennox, Alison Moyet, Helen Terry, Ella Fitsgerald, Nina, Aretha, Ruby etc .... But I cant stand Celine - to me is like nails down a chalkboard.

I cannot believe you don't know Ella Fitzgterald -

"Every time we say goodbye"
"The lady is a tramp"
Manhatten
A foggy day in London town
A nightingale sang in Berkely Square
The Very thought of you
etc. etc. etc............

she is not exactly my cuppa tea either

dianna ross is

She's no longer with us Stray unfortunately,yes she is an 'oldie'.
Read about her on Wikipedia and you'll see how great she was........57 years singing career and 13 grammy awards!

Incidently I was fortunate to see her in the early sixties at the City Hall,Newcastle with Oscar Peterson. her mike. went off and she carried on singing and you could still hear her clearly,beautiful voice.
Can you tell I'm a fan? lol

Mau ;O)

Love Diana Ross too,but, she'll never be as good a singer as Ella

you lucky thing - to have actually seen Ella

Stray - I expect if you heard a song - you would say - oh I know that. If you have Itunes listen to a sample of her there.

Diana Ross - now there is another good one - like Tina though - retired and I expect not to be heard of again in the near future - but what a contribution to Music (and motown).

i know two of the songs but i dotn think she sang them must have been remakes

il have to google her i think then i might remeebrer her

sorry!

stray
xxx

i love diana ross was brought up on her music shes an icon to

Yes Ann it was a wonderful evening. I was only 20 yrs. old and loved rock n' roll but I thought she was just magic.
Anyway age has nothing to do with music has it? :O) we all have our favourites and I like lots of different styles and have a wide collection of records,albums & Cds

Stray
I've got nearly all of Diana Ross's albums from 1960s upwards. Love her too. :O)

I agree Mau music is one thing that can bond any ages. If they are great they are great!

Dianna Ross is the only artist

to have a top ten hit every year for 20 years

surrender and if you see him are my favorites

but i am having remember me at my funeral

My Old Piano and Im Coming out - well Im not but you know the record are favs of mine.

I keep saying "I want this or that at my funeral" and my son goes mad - I think it's good to choose - it's inevitable so what!! Someone started a thread on funeral songs a few weeks back but had to pull it cos it upset people - not me, I thought it was great.

I wold like to have seen Diana live in concert,but only when she was at her peak. Think she recorded some awful numbers in the eighties.

I love 'Touch Me in the Morning' and her albums with George Benson and Marvin Gaye. :O)

I love all sorts of music from pop to classical - only things I don't like are rap and modern jazz, but anything else is fine - I don't class rap as music anyway

my friend died

she wanted touch me in the morning

but as her hubby had left her for another woman

i chose words instead

sorry wendy if your looking down
