Simply the best.........

Caught a program on the life of Ella Fitzgerald on satellite TV the other day - what a talent! I remember as a young lad being captivated by her voice, and being amazed when I eventually saw pictures of her. In my naivity I had assumed that such a wonderful sound must come from a person of rare beauty, and yet here she was, rather plain and overweight. And so I learned that most important lesson - that outward appearances count for little, and that true beauty has nothing to do with looks.
