Ella Fitzgerald Sings Sweet Songs for Swingers is a 1959 album by the American jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald, recorded with a studio Orchestra arranged and conducted by Frank DeVol.
Ella focuses on well known jazz standards by lesser known songwriters, a useful counterbalance to her continuing songbooks project, which at this time found her in the midst of recording the epic George and Ira Gershwin Songbook.
Writing for Allmusic, music critic Scott Yanow wrote of the album "Ella Fitzgerald is in fine form on this obscure LP, performing a dozen standards... An enjoyable if not classic release."
For the 1959 Verve LP album, Verve MG VS-6072, re-issued in 2003 on CD; Verve B0000762-02
