Thanks, Will. You always express the most important takeaways about your subjects, in this case Ella's ability to express the heartbreak in the Bacharach songs. I have always thought that this aspect of his songs was the easiest to express in some way, but to go full-faucet from the tear-ducts, Ella-style, is one the listener must approach on their sunniest day to get through it alive, if you know what I mean.
thanks Rick! I sometimes think that Ella's "House" at Montreux is the most heart-breaking thing she ever sang, quite possibly her greatest ballad performance ever.

Thank goodness she left us such a huge discography of her work.
