I love Ella's version of Mack the Knife where she does an imitation of Louis. I think that version is so much fun. "What are the words to this here chorus? This is the one I don't know..." <-- something like that. I just love it because it was spontaneous and she didn't know all of the lyrics.

She was famous for her imitation of Louis, I believe. There's a recording I've heard of I Can't Give You Anything But Love where she takes a couple turns through the chorus imitating different musicians. The last time she imitated Louis and you can hear the house roaring with applause.

If I had a time machine, I'd go back and see her perform in concert. *sigh*
