Lyrics Ella Fitzgerald
“Shiny Stockings” has two sets of lyrics, by both Ella Fitzgerald and Jon Hendricks. Fitzgerald recorded the tune with her lyrics in July of 1963 on Ella and Basie: On the Sunny Side of the Street. Hendricks recorded his lyrics in January 1963 on Recorded in Person at the Trident. Earlier recordings may exist. The ASCAP ACE database lists Foster as the writer for the instrumental version and both Foster and Fitzgerald for the vocal version.

How anyone could think out of the span of this woman's career that she never wrote any songs is beyond me. Even Sinatra wrote some lyrics to the songs he sung. But to even bring the name of Elvis into Miss Ella. Shaking my head.
Out of every single song I heard this LEGEND sing, it was the way she phrased, arranged and blew out a Billy May arrangement of " Blues in the Night". In the 70s she was on a PBS special Previn and the Pitsburg with Count Basie. I sat there mesmerized almost with my mouth dropped open. She was that good. I don't know if that version is even on YT. But Man you want to do a project have this blowing in the background. Ella was phenomenal.

We literally have NO SINGERS TODAY.
And BTW JD, Elvis Wrote one hell of a lot of his own songs. God you must be young.
