You can't really have a GOAT in a creative field -- I would never ever want to diminish Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan -- but really Ella is the GOAT. She just makes perfection sound so easy.

Listen to the live recording "12 Nights In Hollywood" and you can hear that not only is she a beautiful singer, she's an amazing entertainer who came up in a very tough school.
