Too Darn Hot

"Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Song Book" was quite possibly the most important recording of Fitzgerald's career. Although they all excite in their own way, arranger Buddy Bregman's appropriately heated arrangement of Porter's Too Darn Hot  stands out as a particularly strong performance from Fitzgerald. This publication was mostly prepared from the original Bregman score and parts. The shout chorus was transcribed due to the loss of the original parts which were most likely an insert during the recording session. Vocal Key: E-flat
