The Best Is Yet to Come

~ Release by Ella Fitzgerald (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

Notes

Don't be fooled by the compilation-like release title, as this is indeed a studio album.
A late effort on Pablo, just after the Memorex commercial that made her known to the masses, this is interesting, if not essential.
This is a late cd reissue with a swapped tracklist from OJC.
