Here is a video clip with Ella Fitzgerald singing Hard Hearted Hannah from 1955.
Another great version of this song can be found on a cd called "The Great Swing Party", a concert recording made by Ulf Johansson Werre where Hard Hearted Hanna is sung by Hanna Hedlund.
Every fall Ulf Johansson Werre put together a large concert with big band which has a certain theme based on different jazz composers each time: Count Basie, Benny Goodman, George Gershwin and Duke Ellington.
On this particular occasion the theme was just "swing". The cd has a great version of It Don't Mean A Thing. At the concert there were also a lindy hop and tap performance by The Harlem Hot Shots.
What do you think of this video clip with Ella Fitzgerald singing Hard Hearted Hannah? Tell me.

I just love Ella...her voice is like a fairy skipping across lily pads, just exquisite.
