Ella Fitzgerald - Stars Fell On Alabama Lyrics
We lived our little drama
We kissed in a field of white
And stars fell on Alabama
Last night
Your eyes held a tender light
While (And) stars fell on Alabama (fractured 'Bama)
Last night
I never planned in my imagination
A situation - so heavenly
A fairy land where no one else could enter
And in the center - just you and me
My heart beat (just) like a hammer
And (While) stars fell on Alabama
Last night

Ella Fitzgerald Stars Fell On Alabama Comments
Ella !!!!!
Que lindo el ritmo, la encontre pon un libro(ciudades de papel) para imaginarme mejor esa parte, me gusto.
Yo también jeje ❤️
Her voice is so graceful and clear, Love the contrast. Love them
Two of the sweetest voices in a sweet duo.
I still have this same original that belonged to my parents, One of my special possessions.
If I ever decide to get married, this will be my first dance song.
My wedding song (first dance)
My favorite of ella's ❤❤❤❤
I live in Alabama
Love this song
Sonido único e inigualable
Hamlinz fans??
Hamlinz? The dude who said he is 7’3 but is actually 5’3?
Darkforce 5 HAHAH WHO ELSE DID HAMLINZ BRING HERE??
liking old music doesnt mean you were born in a different generation, It means you like old music
Hamlinz anyone?😂
Zyme right here 💀💀
Ms Ella was one of the all time best.
Magnificent !
Have strong connections to this song because of how much I adore Ella and Louis, and because of all the family I have in Alabama and the wonderful years I spent living there 💕 music doesn't get better than this!
La face cachée de margo 💫
2019 o/
This is a gorgeous version, but did Ella's voice ever overpower Louis. I have to say it though, I think Daniela Andrade and Hanbyul Kang did a much more harmonious version of it. But that Ella, what a powerful woman.
PAPER TOWNS 💕
this song makes me love sick
Assim que vi a música no livro “Cidades de papel” coloquei para tocar enquanto lia a parte em que eles dançam no SeaWorld, e PTQP casou perfeitamente
Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong should be in the dictionaries as synonyms with "genius".
My home town. NOLA
Paper town's
I'm 17 and I discovered this song 2 years ago and I'm the only one in my age that knows this song. It breaks my heart that this beautiful song is underrated.
Stfu nobody cares
Ignorant Man fax
First time i heard this late version. I was totally surprised because of their class. Louis is not so perfect with his tp and the voice is almost broken, the voice of Ella is not the usual silk.... but the deepness they reach in this take is simply unbelivable. My favourite!
this exists???!!!
perfect late AM....and perfect to try and learn.
Always wonderful!
I'm here for the book Paper Towns❤
Love this!
It's impossible to listen to this...without tears in my eyes
*So chilling*
a lovely song from 2 great singiners
luv me some Pops and Miss Ella.
Love it.
Perfect harmony for Dec 13, 2017. Thank you, Alabama!
This might be the best album ever recorded by human beings.
The funny thing is, I am the only person my age that I know that loves this music. It's sad.... this genre was filled with little love songs and very enriching stories, how it pains me to see such a good style be forgotten with my generation, the true mellineals....
Spy Chicken Have faith friend :) I’m young and I LOVE this music! I play it and share it with my friends! This genre will never be forgotten :)
I'm 16 years old and i agree with you
I listened to this during my entire childhood
How old are you? I’m 12 and I love jazz
lmao you aren't better than anyone cause you listen to this , it's universal to like pretty songs ty
I love Ella.. such sweet music. Slow dancing and swaying back into time. Thank you for this fairyland. <3
I'm going to get trolled but I'll say it anyway..... Sooooo much nicer than Billie Hollidays!
You won't get trolled because this is the best ever version of this song.
I'm here because I read "I still dream about you" by Fannie Flagg.
I had this on a 78 disc and it was my favourite. On my first visit home from University in 1970, my sisters had made it into a flower pot holder by melting it over a flower pot with boiling water and a spoon!
Allan Watson
I hope you mean your LATE sisters! 😵
How GOOD IS THIS RENDITION!!
Nothing better than good old fashion music LOVE IT!!! RIP to Ella and Louis
We lived our little drama
We kissed in a field of white
And stars fell on Alabama last night
I can't forget the glamour
Your eyes held a tender light
And stars fell on Alabama last night
I never planned in my imagination
A situation so heavenly
A fairy land where no one else could enter
And in the center just you and me
My heart beat like a hammer
My arms wound around you tight
And stars fell on Alabama last night
It's raining today. It's nice to stop eveything I'm doing and just gaze at the water falling on the pavement.
This warms the soul on cold night...
Yes my dear fiance, a very lovely song that reminds me of every cherished night I spend with you. <3
awwwwwww
I live in Alabama and I love this song .they did very good😍
perfection!
My late homemaker mom used to sing this song during an exceedingly difficult period in her marriage, raising four children born in relatively quick succession. Ella and Louis imbue it with a magical tincture . . .
Noss que coisa linda
es mi cantante de yaz preferida tiene una voz que pone los pelos de punta
Ok, I met this song in paper towns book's and i don't care to say it, worthwhile that beautiful song. Sometimes we have prejudice leave....
It's been 44 years without Pops. He'll live forever, though.
LEUR TALENT ET LEUR COMPLICITÉ ETAIENT UNIQUES!JE LES ADORE!`
Moi, aussi. I took French in high school 50 years ago. How's my French?
Muito bom
Domage les parole je conperon pas. mais la musique et douce
Merci tooop
Paper Towns ❤️
my DREAM was to see both of them!but I saw only ELLA!that was a great luck,because I saw her 4 times!and how wonderful it was!
Amazing tune!
Louis ruins the song
Are you Kidd me?!
his voice is horrible
Honestly, I believe you should sing it yourself if you believe that is so. You obviously need to be informed on the time period this music was made. Jazz possesses specialties only some can appreciate.
Very nice!
This song melts my heart.
So wonderful!
We lived our little drama, we kissed in a field of white
And stars fell on Alabama last night
I can't forget the glamor, your eyes held a tender light
And stars fell on Alabama last night
I never planned in my imagination a situation so heavenly
A fairy land where no one else could enter
And in the center, just you and me
My heart beat like a hammer, my arms wound around you tight
And stars fell on Alabama last night
I never planned in my imagination a situation so heavenly
A fairy land where no one else could enter
In the center, just you and me
My heart beat like a hammer, my arms wound around you tight
And stars fell on Alabama last night

From Wickepedia:
"Stars Fell on Alabama" is the title of a 1934 jazz standard composed by Frank Perkins with lyrics by Mitchell Parish. ... The title appears to have been borrowed from the title of the 1934 book of the same name by Carl Carmer [NY: Farrar & Rinehart, 1934]. It refers to a spectacular occurrence of the Leonid meteor shower
that had been observed in Alabama in November of 1833, "the night the stars fell." As reported by the Florence Gazette: "[There were] thousands of luminous bodies shooting across the firmament in every direction. There was little wind and not a trace of clouds, and the meteors succeeded each other in quick succession."
(I have just read this intelligently and sensitively-written book & recommend it to anyone with a psychoanthropological interest in the circa 1920's American deep South.)
Incidentally, I came across a comment to another vid of this same recording in
which the commenter recalled another "better" version of Ella singing solo. Why better? "I love Satchmo just as much as the next jazz fan," he loyally delares,
"but he's just all wrong for this duet." Why, exactly, one wonders? Listen and
learn: "The velvety quality of the song itself and Ella's smoothness conflicts and is drowned out by Louis' legendary raspiness." *sigh* Where to begin.
I absolutely adore Louis Armstrong....always and forever - haven't ever heard anything that I wouldn't say - "Bravo" and "more, please...." Thank you for sharing.
Thank You!!!!! and lots of love from Finland among the polar bears............................
one of THE greatest duets ever recorded, music can't even compare today, thanks for a clean version to download.
Dang...so fine.
