Ella Fitzgerald & Joe Pass - ''Gee Baby, Ain't I Good To You''
The First Lady of Song and guitar virtuoso Joe Pass cover "Gee Baby, Ain't I Good to You" in 1974.
Love makes me treat you
The way that I do Gee baby, ain't I good to you There's nothing in this whole world too good For a boy so sweet and true Gee, baby ain't I good to you Bought you a fur coat for Christmas Diamond ring Big Cadillac car and everything What makes me treat you The way that I do Gee baby, ain't I good to you

Lawd have Mercy!
trivia. Mr. Pass and Ms. Fitzgerald 6 albums together came about because of a random sit-in by Pass when Fitzgerald was performing at the Playboy club in Chicago in 1973. Pass's solo guitar recordings are superb but he was absolutely brilliant as an accompanist.

"Gee baby.." is on their Take Love Easy project, an excellent album to start your day with. It's an intoxicating collection. | |
