Mr. penganni tempo 🎶

THANKS!! so many years looking for it !!!

On this day in 1968 {April 28th} Ella Fitzgerald performed "Mr. Paganini" on the CBS-TV musical variety program, 'The Ed Sullivan Show'...
In 1961 it reached #20 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Tracks chart...
And on the same 'Sullivan' show she also performed her covered version of "Can't Buy Me Love", four years earlier in May of 1964 Verve Records released "Can't Buy Me Love", b/w "Hello Dolly", neither side made Billboard's Top 100 chart, but "Can't Buy Me Love" did peak at #24 on Germany's GfK Entertainment chart...
Between 1936 and 1963 the Virginia native had fifty-seven charted records, twenty made the Top 10 with four reaching #1, "Goodnight, My Love" {1936}, "A-Tisket, A-Tasket" {1938}, "I'm Making Believe" {1944}, and "Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall" {1944}...
Ella Jane Fitzgerald passed away at the age of 79 on June 15th, 1996...
May she R.I.P.

The concert was over in Carnagie Hall
The maestro took bow after bow
He said my dear friends
I have given my all
I'm sorry it's all over now
When from the gallery way up high
There suddenly came this mournful cry
Mister Paganini please play my rhapsody
And if you cannot play it won't you sing it
And if you can't sing it you simply have to
Booh beeh deeh dooh beeh dooh dweeh dooh eeh eeh doh ah, ah loh ah oh
Mister Paganini we breathlessly await
Your masterful baton go on and sling it
And if you can't sling it you simply have to
Bah, eeh, eeh, bah dooh booh beeh dooh beeh daw
Eeh yooh boh eeh yooh beeh dooh beeh dooh
We've heard your repertoire and at the final bar
We greeted you with wild applause
But what a great ovation your interpretation
Oh boh dooh beh deed beeh deeh beh deeh doh boh deeh beeh deh beeh
Eeh beeh deeh beeh hum dooh bah bouam dam dah oh
Mister Paganini now don't you be a meanie
What have you up your sleeve come on and spring it
And if you don't spring it that means you have to
Eeh, dooh dooh bah dooh pah pah peeh peeh
Deeh deeh deeh leeh deeh deeh dooh ding deeh deeh
Dleeh dooh deeh deeh dleeh oh deeh dah dah
Oh mister Paganini please play my rhapsody
And if you cannot play it won't you sing it
And if the boys are bopping ain't no need in stopping
Ooh bah beeh tooh bah beeh teeh dah dah lah
Boh toh boh doh boh doh doh deh deh loh doh bah noh bah
Mister Paganini we breathlessly await
Your masterful baton go on and sing it
If the boys are bopping ain't no need in stopping
A tisket
A tasket
I lost my yellow basket
Bop, beeh boh peeh pah dah yooh boh dooh beeh yooh beeh
Heard your repertoire and at the final bar
We greeted you with wild applause
What a great ovation your interpretation
Bah tooh looh yeah dooh wah dooh
Listen Paganini now don't you be a meanie
What have you up your sleeve come on and spring it
And if you don't spring it that means you'll have to
We've heard your repertoire and at the final bar
We greeted you we greeted you with wild applause
Oh but what a great ovation your interpretation
Bah beh dooh boh deeh beh deh beh boh boh beeh leh deh
Beeh deeh beeh boh boh beh eeh deeh dah dah dah noh
Mister Paganini now don't you be a meanie
What have you up your sleeve come on and spring it
And if you don't spring it that means you'll have to swing it

Nancy Lee thank you so much for the lyrics i listened to this with my dad at 7years old now I'm 57! The power of great music!

What Treasures.

3:30 moose the mooche quote

Just love this

she's awesome

6 people don't know what great jazz is.

Lottalox my late Dad played this over and over I treasure this record so much! Ella!

They wouldn't know great jazz if it flew from their butts in glittery rainbows! Ella Fitzgerald had one of the most beautiful voices of her era! It's nearly flawless.

Nothing on Nikki's version

@Samy Samos Sorry, dude - can't let that ride - HAVE to say it. Nikki whoever has absolutely NOTHING on Ella Fitzgerald. Come on now, young blood.

She was fugly

Man i love this woman… class act!

Is this her 1952 recording of the song? She has recorded the song several times. This is the best version..

i love the chaka khan and natalie cole version of this song...it's really good

Mr paganini, was the name of the street I was living in Paris, at the time I didn't know that song and I was not musician ...

a little historical fact: they named it rue paganini because the real maestro paganini used to held a charity concert where Paris was stricken by cholera epidemic in 1832

Currently learning this amazing song for my jazz gigs x

You can learn how. I'm a living example of that. I'm a computer science major taking lessons with university staff on the side who keep asking why I don't change majors, and believe me I was sounding like crap when I first got here.

Awww, come on! Ella is great, but so are lots of others!

Braiden brought me here

Amazing talent. Ella's voice is so wonderful. AND, it's nice to hear a song that's not about relationships! Just a girl pining over love...

wish i could sing this like this

I learning this song on piano:)

Her singing is out of this world...

Nikki Yanofsky's version is also pretty good!

@forvee03

Thanks for sharing that.

@frammyxx bonjour

celine dion sings this sooooooooooooo good!

What year was this recorded? I have another version of this song, recorded 1936... this sounds later. (and better!)

She is simply amazing.

We used to play this on the jukebox endlessly at The Pub at the Univ of Wisconsin in 1962. Loved this.
