Ella Fizgerald Sings The George And Ira Gershwin Songbook (1959)

"Ella Fitzgerald Sings the George and Ira Gershwin Song Book is a box set by American jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald that contains songs by George and Ira Gershwin with arrangements by Nelson Riddle. Fifty-nine songs were recorded in the span of eight months in 1959. It is one of the eight album releases comprising what is possibly Fitzgerald's greatest musical legacy: Ella Fitzgerald Sings The Complete American Songbook, a comprehensive collection of both well-known and obscure songs from the Great American Songbook canon. Ira Gershwin subsequently said that "I never knew how good our songs were until I heard Ella Fitzgerald sing them"." (Wikipedia)
