I've got you under my skin.
I've got you deep in the heart of me.
So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me.
I've got you under my skin.
I'd tried so not to give in.
I said to myself: this affair never will go so well.
But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know so well
I've got you under my skin?
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of a warnin' voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear:
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win?
Use your mentality, wake up to reality.
But each time that I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.
(Musical interlude)
I would sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats - how it yells in my ear:
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win?
Why not use your mentality - step up, wake up to reality?
But each time I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop just before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.
Yes, I've got you under my skin.
I've got you deep in the heart of me.
So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me.

So lovely! Makes me miss my mother... She often liked to put on Ella when she did housework or cooking. The last time I got to see her alive, she cooked us French Toast and made Sumatra coffee (I'm the one that got her hooked on that wicked stuff) in her kitchen, with the sun streaming in, humming along to that inimitable voice. As we stirred some magical Frangelica into our mugs, and I got her to tell stories about her childhood on the farm in Coffeyville, Kansas, during The Great Depression, raised along with a full house of siblings by Velma P, my Grandma Tough As Iron, after their father was killed in a tragic horse-racing accident, I played some songs by Cowboy Junkies, The Shins, and Crowded House, and she absolutely loved it all... Thanks for the precious memories and infinitely rich connections, Radio Paradise!
So. Norah Jones. I’m thinking, “Norah should cut some Ella Fitzgerald covers.” And Bill segues to this. Aaaaahhhhh.
Purely personal taste in voices here - but the play list for the last three tracks goes as follows
Billie Eilish - Child
Norah Roberts - Adult
Ella Fitzgerald - Goddess.
For others this may be in reverse or all something else, but for me it was a progression.

Aka 'Ode to a Chigger'.

Her voice is pure perfection.

I think I get what you're saying. Her voice is outstanding. But I want that pause after Stop. It's missing in this version.
Ella's voice is always perfect and her vocal range is amazing but her phrasing on these Porter, Gershwin standards is lacking the necessary nuance. It is is if she doesn't get the lyrics or can not relate to them.

Tremonti has done this and others with Frank's old band.
Brilliant!
I'd love to hear her singing Plenty o' Nuttin with Louis Armstrong

all true but on some songs she seems to not "get" the lyrics
When she sings, there are no clunkers, No dissonace, No tension. No strain. No off notes.
It's pure silk.
And its all her voice. It's not being manipulated by recording engineers

In any case - MORE JAZZ please...Thx
Every single thing about this song works. It's 63 years old, but it still sounds incredible.
Nice tune for RP
A rare 10 - by my standards
As pure, silky voice as ever heard. Her dentals are the standard by which all should be measured.

My problem with Ella is certainly not technical. Ella's voice is perfect but she comes across here as though she is speaking a foreign language. Something is lost in translation. It's as though she doesn't get the lyrics. That is why I would much rather hear the far less technically proficient Fred Astaire sing/speak these Porter, Kern or Gershwin lyrics.
contrary to the vast majority of the human race, I find EF to be mostly bloodless and boring
technically perfect, but served like cold roast beef.

Her intentionally singing off key notes makes it hard to listen to.
Still...the greatest voice ever.

oh my goodness
This is better than Sinatra's version. Beautiful. And, by the way, it just got under my skin in the good way the song meant that.

On of those days at Radio Paradise, eh....
One of the greatest songs ever written.
Love the versions by all of the Jersey boys, Frank from Hoboken and Frankie and the 4 Seasons
It does not get any better.
Yay, PSD!!!! It brought me here!

I've never understood why a sexual relationship should be called an 'affair', almost as if it's some kind of business partnership. Does anyone know where this usage came from? I suspect that it's a bourgeois term as it's not a word I've heard used much in working-class conversation.

I'd love to hear other versions of this one, too. Idea of the song reminds me of one of Lucinda Williams' most indelible lyrics:
Not a day goes by I don't think about you
You left your mark on me it's permanent a tattoo
Pierce the skin and the blood runs through
Oh my baby
From "Right in Time"
One of the finest songs ever written.
A younger member was first introduced to it by Frankie Valli and his falsetto. Would love to hear that version on RP.

AM radio wouldn't play anything longer than would fit into their 3 to 3l/2 minute slots, max.
You will notice that most of early R&R, (pre Beatles) also had very short versions of
songs. Sometimes they would make a version for radio, and sometimes put the longer versions

Ella singing Cole Porter! What a sound. Sublime.
This is okay, but it just doesn't give me the chills like Frank's version does.
I believe there are many distinguished, artful, and talented singers doing it right, with inspiration, and doing it now. Still, Ella stands apart.

The one, the only, the incomparable, the superlative! I grew up on a combination of 80's rock, with Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel thrown in, and then some jazz came into my life, but it took until I hit my thirties for me to fall for Ella. Now, my little boys listen to Ella when Daddy just can't take anymore "I'm a Little Teapot" or "The Ants Go Marching," and they love it.
What an incredible voice. In the 1950's my mom spent her summers in NYC and she used to be able to walk in on Ella's recording sessions and listen. IMAGINE!
I love this version,
KD Lang does a great version,.. very silky. Frank does a good job but too I think the two ladies add something Frank couldn't quite get.

I rated it an 8 because it's the Ella version. Don't get me wrong, I love Ella, but this song belongs to Frank. If this was Frank's version, I'd give it a 12.
But regardless, the song is great. Excellent choice for this set Bill.
