Juke Box Lil's Say Ella contains 16 songs Ella Johnson recorded with her brother Buddy's big band for Decca and Mercury between 1942 and 1957. In other words, these 16 songs are among her very best recordings, containing such classics as "I Don't Care Who Knows," "You Got to Walk That Chalk Line," "Somehow, Somewhere," "'Til My Baby Comes Back," "That's How I Feel About You," "One More Time" and "Mush Mouth." In other words, it's an excellent single-disc introduction to one of the finest female R&B vocalists of her era. ~ Thom Owens
