Love Me Or Leave Me
Ella Swings Brightly With Nelson
Fitzgerald - Riddle
Arranged and Conducted by Nelson Riddle
Produced under personal supervision of Norman Granz
Verver V-4054
1962
From Billboard - March 24, 1962: It's Ella Fitzgerald singing against the swinging arrangements of Nelson Riddle on this album. The twosome find hand-in-glove rapport on 12 tracks taken in the finger-snapping medium tempo at which both shine. The brass in the Riddle band has bite and strings sweep and swing. Ella is in fine voice singing a repertoire of standards. "The Gentleman Is A Dope," "I Only Have Eyes For You," "Mean To Me" and "Gonna Go Fishin'" are all top-flight tracks.
