Quizo question...Ella Fitzgerold
Posted: Tue Sep 30, 2003 9:45 am
Last night my Quizo team played our final game before our friend Ken leaves Philadelphia. In the end we tied with another team and the tie-breaking question was "What year was Ella Fitzgerold's "A tisket, a tasket" album released?".
OK, my first reaction was that *Ella* didn't release that album until 1996 ( on the Masters Intercontine label), but then the quiz "master" said it was before WW2. Yeah, I knew this must be a Chick Webb album, and I wasn't sure of the date, so I wrote my answer as 1936 -which was apparently correct (thus winning the game). I'm happy I "won", but I kinda think the correct answer is 1938.
Does anyone know?
Also, anyone ever heard of an Ella (not Chick Webb) LP released in '36?
Thanks!
