Things Are Looking UpElla Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong

Songwriter: Ira Gershwin

Producer: Norman Granz

If I should suddenly start to sing
Or stand on my head or anything
Don`t think that I've lost my senses
It`s just that my happiness finally commences
The long long ages of dull despair
Are turning into thin air
And it seems that suddenly I've
Become the happiest girl alive
Things are looking up
I've been looking the landscape over
And it`s covered with four leaf clover
Oh things are looking up
Since love looked up at me
Bitter was my cup
But no more will I be the mourner
For I've certainly turned the corner
Oh things are looking up
Since love looked up at me
See the sunbeams
Every one beams
Just because of you
Love`s in session
And my depression
Is unmistakably through
Things are looking up
It`s a great little world we live in
Oh I`m happy as a pup
Since love looked up at me
See the sunbeams
Every one beams
Just because of you
Love`s in session
And my depression
Is unmistakably through
Things are looking up
It`s a great little world we live in
Oh I`m happy as a pup
Since love looked up at me

Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong

Both household names at the time of their first recording together, the dynamic duo of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong recorded their eponymous debut on August 16, 1956, in Hollywood’s then newly-built Capitol Studios. The record covered eleven standards with the backing of the Oscar Peterson Quartet. Although they had previously collaborated in the late 1940s for the Decca label, Ella and Louis began a critical and commercial streak for the pair, with many follow-ups under Norman Granz’s Verve Records; including 1957’s Ella and Louis Again and their 1959 collection of songs from the Porgy and Bess.
