Only 1 Ella Fitzgerald song took part in the Battle for 1957:
primarily conservative 50s Adult Pop
Ella Fitzgerald - Manhattan - Verve 10050, ranked 88 out of 518

here is a more entertaining Latin side from 1957 that, imo, should
also have been in the Battle
Ella Fitzgerald - Hotta Chocolotta - Verve 10031

You had the chance to take part in the battle and to make nominations. >Bringing all this up now SEVENTEEN years after the event is pretty
futile,no?
Perhaps you misunderstood my motive, Roger.
Actually, these Battle comments have been purely a by-product of a
current project of mine - to build a list of fave female led tracks
for 1957.
More tracks may be added as I investigate 1957 releases for an artist,
and some tracks may be deleted after I've listened to them anew,
but fwiw this is my current list as is:
