Is it live, or is it Memorex?

I thought this piece on the Memorex ad campaign featuring Ella Fitzgerald was nicely done, so I thought I'd share the link.

At this point in my life, I am increasingly of the opinion that Ella Fitzgerald was the single best jazz/pop female vocalist ever -- at least, of any that have generated a recorded legacy.

Her "songbook" albums are as close to perfection as any recorded music I know of.

They sound great, too! :)

    I don't think I own a single Memorex cassette, come to think of it.
    I do have some 'as found' Memorex reel tapes... but I don't think they're any great shakes and I don't think I've ever played one of them, much less recorded on one.

    We had a bus driver in junior high school whose voice I am pretty sure could have shattered glass...
