The new Frank Sinatra stamp from the United States Postal Service (which won’t go on sale until the spring) was unveiled today. (Previous post here.)

I failed to highlight the Ella Fitzgerald stamp almost a year ago, so let me correct that now and put my two favorite singers of the twentieth century together here. (Sorry, Bob! But you’ve still got the twenty-first century to play with. Try harder!)

I think that we were blessed to ever have these two on earth, and their certain presence should be motivation enough to want to get into heaven.

In one of the great missed opportunities for posterity, Frank and Ella never did record an album or even a single together. But treat yourself, if you haven’t seen it, and watch their duet performance, on television, of The Lady Is A Tramp. Click here to go to YouTube or play below.
