I remember reading about 'Sunshine of Your Love' and wondering how it could possibly work, before eventually tracking it down in the pre-internet days and being blown away.<br /><br />Brian. It reminds me of a friend who's about 15 years older than I am. His stance has always been 'The Beatles? Good singles band'.

As for JTFL's comment, it may sound bloody ridiculous, but it's out there, that hatred for the lads from Liverpool.

'Get Ready' is on there, 'The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game' too. It was an interesting period for Ella, as she also recorded that killer version of Cream's 'Sunshine of Your Love' the previous year. Great stuff - not sure what her core audience made of it though!The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522017207239490912.post-72844802618269797202017-05-01T13:55:49.546+01:002017-05-01T13:55:49.546+01:00Is there a version of the Temptations' 'Ge...Is there a version of the Temptations' 'Get Ready' on that particular LP too, Mr. S? (It's the only other Reprise-era track that I've heard.) Though I think Ella could sing just about anything and could probably even have improved upon a lot of those silly novelty numbers that were hits during the '60s - 'Purple People Eater' comes to mind for some bizarre reason . . .), my favourites are the standards that she recorded.<br /><br />I must echo your query above - "Uncool to be a Beatles fan?"

I almost bought a Fitzgerald boxset when on holiday recently. <br />As you say, appears to be an anti-chocolate/addiction song, yet the bars are helpful for keeping your energy levels up.
