Summary: Best of the Bios
Comment: This is the best of the Ella bios. Authoritative, well-written, and insightful with a helpful discography. Avoid the much inferior "First Lady of Song" by Fidelman. THIS is the bio to buy.

Summary: MISTER NICHOLSON MISSED THE TRAIN TO HARLEM
Comment: Overall this book collects most of the facts of ELLA's life and career in nice perspective.However i must say this:Mister NICHOLSON while preparing the biography has not met his subject and has included some totally out of place remarks that makes his book a shameful attempt to collect royalties he does not deserve.Mister NICHOLSON who i beleive never conducted an orchestra try to demonstrate that BUDDY BREGMAN the conductor of the PORTER and RODGERS songbooks failed to deliver the goods,allthough millions of fans throughout the world consider them to be the best of the series.Mister NICHOLSON sad to say has caught a severe case we should call the RIDDLE syndrome.Still,you can buy that book and still get to know ELLA if you can read between the lines.

Summary: Dumb Book
Comment: I can only write about my few years with her - but I certainly have more insight about the woman not so much the singer than this whole dumb book.

Lots about recording - of course he was not there - and nothing about her other than "and then she did"...
