Tag: Hoagy Carmichael

Ella Fitzgerald: Skylark

I don’t think I shared a jazz piece before, so I thought I would share this composition sung by Ella Fitzgerald to brighten everyone’s Monday. “Skylark” [1941] was composed by Hoagy Carmichael (“Georgia on My Mind“ [1930]) with lyrics by Johnny Mercer (“Moon River” [1961]).
