Frank & Ella – October 19

An Evening With Frank & Ella

October 19th at 4:30 and 7:30

Welcome to an evening of the best of “Ol Blue Eyes” and the “Queen of Jazz”. Paul and Donna will present their interpretation of many of the great standards that were the soundtrack of the Mid to Late 20^th Century.

When the Chairman of the Board would team up with The First Lady of Song the sparks would fly as evidenced from the many TV specials they would do together in the 50s & 60s. Frank was quoted to say “Ella Fitzgerald is the only performer who made me nervous…I believe she is the best popular singer in the world….barring none, Male or Female.” So, come hear some of the many songs that made them individually famous and the duets that make them a match that was made in Musical Heaven.
