        Can you *please* include the photographer with these images or, in this case, more clearly indicate their name (Herman Leonard)? As a historian, I hope you'd want to and understand. Signed, a photohistorian. More info:https://www.artsy.net/artwork/herman-leonard-ella-fitzgerald-duke-ellington-benny-goodman-downbeat-club-52nd-st-dot-nyc …

        Sinatra's favorite singer. He said she was the best. Well, the best with Frank in his prime.
