Pick Up lr Dalivary NEW YORK —The big attrac- tion on the nation's juke box- es is once again the plaintive voice of Ella Fitzgerald. Amer- ica's "first lady of song" This time the singing sweearheart is 1 scoring another smash success i with her arrangement of the number ( one torch tune of the day. 'That’s My Desire." How- ever. there lies behind her de- jctsion to record this tune one of the most touching human in- terest stories in the history of show business. The tune was brought to the , late Chick Webb back in 1939 | and he decided it was just the I type of rune for his rising pro- ! tege However, before he had i the chance to record the tune with Ella he was oveitaken bv LEGAL NOTICE William V.

Instrument* in writing purport- ing to be the last vi ill and testa- I ment of said deceased having been delivered into this Court for Probate: f IT IS ORDERED.

And it is further Ordered, that a copy of this order be published •once in each week for three weeks consecutively previous to said time of hearing, in the De’ troit TRIBUNE, a newspaper printed and circulating in said Cuuntv of Wayne. THOMAS C. MURPHY, Judge of Probate. By Deputy, Probate Register. f-7—6-21 what proved to be his fatal ill- ness One of his last known plans was to record "That's My Desire.” The great singer never forgot the preference of the man who had discovered and developed her into stardom for the tune but for one reason or another never got around to actually making the record. One reason for her reluctance was a sen- timental hesitance because her idol has been unable to make it with her. But following the lesurgence of the song as a big favorite following Frankie Lame’s recording Ella decided that she would pay a real tri- bute to the great drummer bv making the record that she had promised. Thus the decision to keep faith with her buddy and friend and America got ano- ther hit. THOMAS J. HENSON ACCOUNTANT Accounting— Bookkeeping Tax Service »1u Clay A Tenge, Car. Oakland Mi.
