With her extraordinary voice, ELLA FITZGERALD became a living legend. Today, she is still considered one of the best singers of all time. Ella actually wanted to become a dancer, however, at a dance competition she was too nervous to dance and sang instead. Needless to say, she won the first prize and the rest is history. With her Christmas album 'Ella Wishes You A Swinging Christmas', Fitzgerald pioneered and paved the way for modern Christmas music. Rolling Stone lists the album at the top of their '40 Essential Christmas Albums' list. This version also contains two bonus tracks: 'Christmas Island' and a medley.
