ELLA FITZGERALD

"A TISKET, A TASKET" from Ride 'Em Cowboy, 1942

1942 ELLA FITZGERALD IMAGES, PAGE 1  2  3  4  5

Poor young Ella Fitzgerald is all perturbed about losing her precious little green and yellow basket.  Have you seen it?  This is from a 1942 performance in the Abott and Costello movie Ride 'Em Cowboy of her 1938 hit "A Tisket, A Tasket."  The poor little girl is just about beside herself worrying over that little basket.  Look at these still images, and you can see shades of joy, agitation, despondency and pretty many little bits of nuance for being theoretically such a silly little song.

Where oh where can my little basket have gone?

Are you sure you haven't seen a little green and yellow basket about this big?

Looks like she's about to break down in tears over this basket
