Lullaby Of The Leaves - Two Versions - Not Really A Fall Song But The Leaves Are Falling All Around As I Type This

Ella Fitzgerald



 Anita O'Day 


Not really a comparison, they're both incomparable.  I've never heard anyone else perform the verse other than Ella Fitzgerald.  

Ella's accompanied by Zoot Sims (ts) and Frank DeVol (cnd, arr). Recorded March 4, 1964. (Verve Records)

Anita O'Day and her Orchestra; Petkere; Young; Roy Eldridge; Bill Harris; Budd Johnson; Cecil Payne; Ralph Burns; Al McKibbon; Don Lamond; Norman Granz  1952 Mercury (8989) 

Update:  Look it up in a dictionary.  It's got a variant spelling listed.
