Say Ella...Ella Johnson with Buddy Johnson Orchestra.

Right off we go across the channel to Belgium  for a couple shared by Luc !
This is a singer that is not familiar to me...So to quote Luc when he sent it to me "One of my favorites" !!...and a review from "AllMusic"

Say Ella Review by Thom Owens (AllMusic)
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.
