Ella Sings Broadway

Ella Sings Broadway is a 1963 studio album by the American jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald, with an orchestra arranged and conducted by Marty Paich. Shortly before the sessions for Ella Sings Broadway , Ella had recorded two singles with Marty Paich, the Antonio Carlos Jobim song "Desafinado" and a bossa nova version of the jazz standard "Stardust".

This album is a musical departure for Ella in many senses. As the author David Hajdu comments in his liner notes for the 2001 reissue of Ella Sings Broadway, virtually every important singer of standards recorded an album of musical-theatre songs, Sinatra with The Concert Sinatra (1963) and My Kind of Broadway (1965), Sarah Vaughan with Great Songs From Hit Shows (1958) and Doris Day with Show Time (1960).
