I have 2 of these and that's about it, LOL. (Hollies & Chris Isaak.) I have lots of Ella, but not that one. (I've got the Sarah Vaughan version.) And I have other Travis songs and other Placido. ;)
Y'know, I kinda agree on Sarah vs. Ella. I'm not a big fan of scat and sometimes I just want someone to stick to the tune, even if it's Ella. Sarah gets a bit "bee deep boop ba" on me as well sometimes, but her "Black Coffee" is awesome.
Ahahaha, back in the days before we had HD tv, and I actually used to use the crappy TV in my room, I'd watch PBS.
I like Peggy Lee's version of "Black Coffee" a lot, too. As far as I'm concerned, Sarah Vaughan's version of "Whatever Lola Wants" is the version of the song. XD I really like Ella's improvised verses of "Mack the Knife," though. Such a crack-up!
Peggy Lee is awesome. I think I like Ella's duets with Louis Armstrong the best. I love the way they play off each other. And her Xmas album is fantastic. For Sarah, besides "Black Coffee," I love "Summertime" and "Birdland."

I know I could probably get in trouble for saying so, but I generally prefer Sarah Vaughan to Ella.
