    No surprise to me she wrote it.

    Should be titled "The Wreck of the Ella Fitzgerald", baby!!

    Why ever not ?

    Maybe some wow on the turntable, but some of the pitch seems a little
    'off' though ...

    A - She was not a songwriter.
    B - Hard to believe that 47 year old Ella was paying that much attention to the Beatles in 1964.

    Well apparently she was ...

    Yes, early days for her contemporaries to be aware of The Beatles,
    unlike a few years later when they would have needed to be deaf and
    blind not to be aware.

    She also covered "Can't Buy Me Love" with help from George Martin.

    Yes, and had a version of "Get Ready" that bubbled under at the time that the Rare Earth version was a hit.
