The First Lady of Song, Ella Fitzgerald, performs live in Berlin. This is "Summertime", originally written and performed for the play "Porgy and Bess", a drama about a homeless Southern black family trying to survive during the Great Depression.
Lady Ella is without a doubt one of the greatest American treasures. Each song she performed was delivered with such emotion and complexity. She lived, breathe, suffered, and triumphed with every song.
