Ella Fitzgerald was a queen. From homeless juvenile delinquent to brilliant jazz and scat diva, she was incredible. Her later ballads were amazingly smooth, too, under the influence of Norman Granz, her manager. And she didn’t let the racism of the 40’s and 50’s dissuade her. Marilyn Monroe was one of her biggest fans. netflix.com/title/81253764

And here's the next time Frank Sinatra gave Polly Adler an autograph, as he was moving into his Chairman of the Board phase:
"Polly -- I adore you - Francis."

Naturally, she had it framed.

This frosty January night by the fire seems like a good time to do a deeper dive on Ol' Blue Eyes.

Here's Frank @Sinatra's first entry in 's autograph book.

"“To Polly – a person I’ve heard of for some time -- and whom I’ve finally met – a very charming person – my pleasure. Sincerely Frank Sinatra”

Today's poems are set to Bacharach's music. As a reminder of the stellar song-writing talents of Burt Bacharach and Hal David, here’s Burt with Dione Warwick, sashaying through a few of their compositions - Walk On By, I Say A Little Prayer, Do You Know The Way To San Jose.
