Ella Fitzgerald - Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me Lyrics
Do nothing till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why one should tear the seam of anyone's dream
Is over my head
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of others you've heard
I haven't a chance
True, I've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that I'm untrue?
While we're apart, the words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you
Some kiss may cloud my memory
But please do nothing till you hear it from me
And you never will!

Ella Fitzgerald Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me Comments
Some-one told some-one and some-one told you
But they wouldn't hurt you, not much,
Since ev'ryone spread the story
With his own little personal touch.
Do nothin' till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why people tear the seam of anyone's dream is over my head.
Do nothin' till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of others you've heard
I haven't a chance
True I've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that I'm untrue?
When we're apart the words in my heart reveal how I feel about you.
Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothin' till you hear it from me
And you never will.
The guitarist sounds like Joe Pass. The saxophonist is definitely Ben Webster.
The first lady of the American popular song.
Bob Russell wroteit
i remember first hearing this at some public jazz performance in Reno, Nevada (July 20-something, 2012). It has taken me 7 years to finally find the song, and it's worth searching for it. And to the lady i heard this from in 2012, thank you! Thank you for introducing me to this song!
Barney Kessel (guitar)
I have had the privledge of seeing Ella in concert about 3 x. The Mellon Jazz concert series in Pittsburgh. Great lady. That was in my college years… 1983-1987. She was great. Also saw the Great Miss Sassy … Sarah Vaughn….. and Liza in her hey day…. God bless the ladies of song. Thank YOU ladies of song !
Ela canta com tanto sentimento que toca o fundo de nossa alma. Maravilha!!
Someone told someone and someone told you

Do nothin' till you hear from me
Do nothin' till you hear from me
Pay no
Whoever added the reverb needs a throat-punch. If ever there was a singer that needed NO reverb or any other added effects it's Ella Fitzgerald.
I think Stefan Grapelli on violin.
Sure sounds like it.
My favorite singer
This is gorgeous. The original great Ellington 1940 band version of this, Concerto for Cootie, is well worth a listen. The lyrics were added a wee bit later, and the mood changed.
Love Ella's version of this song! Of course, I love Ella's version of EVERY song. She could take any song and, with that elegant voice and perfect phrasing, make it sound as though she was the only one who'd ever sung it. This sounds like one side of a conversation. It's perfect!
Aww perfect
This is music with perfect words, great arrangement and solo's along with the best female voice ever.
My jaw is on the floor. This is absolute perfection.
Interesting that she takes this in a romantic, sincere tone, and a very slow but sumptuous tempo.
Of course, she "sells" it but the words can also be taken in a mischievous way. They imply that the singer is cheating but not going to admit it.
That's a good observation
After hearing Ms Ella's arrangement of this song, I get the true meaning of the melody. This one is by far one of her greatest songs.
Total perfection in every syllable. The queen!
who's on guitar?
The Accolades Music Barney Kessel
Simplemente elegante.
Beautiful Ben Webster solo.

Classy tune!
Wow...that's insanelybeautiful...Ella's unique voice, Webster at his very best... how is it possible not to fall in love with this tune ? Many thanks for sharing this true masterpiece ;-)
Magnifique!
Who's on violin here?
+rocket otto Stuff Smith.
smoothest 〭 〭 〭
My absolute favorite Ella song. The perfect one.
+Richard Stokes.
How on earth are you capable of differentiating?
I know! There are so many. I think this one perhaps because when I hear it I get a little teary eyed, and that's not always a bad thing.
My Favorite Version of an incredibly beautiful Song....Webster is insanely good here, too...
An unbelievably beautiful voice ...
I think that the marvelous violin solo was performed by Mr. Stuff Smith, a jazz violin master! Is that correct? Thoughts, please.
+Bob King Yes, Stuff Smith.
Just re-playing today....great song and arrangement.
Fabulous, great instrumentals.
Etta James version in Ellas tribute is also AMAZING!!
Thank you for letting me know. The sax is superb.
Its from the Duke Ellington Songbook. Duke on piano, Ben Webster on tenor.
Duke isn't on piano. Paul Smith.
Great to hear this Ella song in high quality, wonderful!
Than you for finding this song. Is she sing with Oscar Petersons group?
This song rips your guts out. Superb!
I love u Ella..<3
