The Best Of The Song Books ELLA FRITZERALD
Thanks to the vision and genius of producer Norman Granz, son of Jewish immigrants. A good portion of the Songbook was written by Jewish immigrants or descendents thereof.

I wonder how the idiot white nationalists rationalize that our great popular music is at its best when songs written by Jews are sung by blacks? We won’t even discuss the great movie classics...

I own most of Ella’s Songbook LPs. Photos much too large to post here, but I post them regularly on AK.
