Favorite Motown Cover Version by a Non-Motown Artist

[marv2]

Another favorite of mine is Ella Fitzgerald's version of "The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game". Excellent version!

I have got to hear that. A few people have mentioned it. Really can't imagine Ella doing it, but I guess she could sing anything!

As Frank Sinatra would say.....Ella was the coolest, swingingest chick! LOL! That is exactly how she sung that song. Real cool, laidback and just mellow...............

Thanks for posting. A very interesting take. A really nice arrangement. I would have loved to hear more from the guitar - kind of reminded me of Kenny Burrell. Ella is more straightforward and less jazzy vocally than I would have expected. Of course, Wanda is my all time favorite Motown singer so I can't say it surpasses her version, but a lovely interpretation nonetheless!
