Ella Fitzgerald whose 100th birthday we celebrate this year, was unsurpassed as an expressive vocalist who dominated the musical scene, whether singing little ditties or the works of seasoned composers like Duke Ellington, Cole Porter or the Gershwins. To mark her many contributions in music across jazz & pop, we are proud to present 100 songs culled from the many recordings she made for Decca & Verve, often with some of the best musical units of the time. This extraordinary collection is bound to delight everyone with a deep abiding love for music in general & vocal music in particular.

It's been seven years since Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett released their collaborative album Cheek To Cheek, a collection of jazz standards by well-known composers such as George Gershwin, Cole Porter and Irving Berlin. It reached number one on the US charts and was named Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards
