I Got a Guy

~ Release by Ella Fitzgerald (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

Notes

Very obscure compilation assembling together early Fitzgerald cuts with Chick Webb, apparently without much logic.
Avoid... There are better sampler than this.
Sometimes available for sell under ASIN B00021RDSO.
