Definitley Billie!

She put sex,pain,sorrow and love in every note she sang!

Fitzgerald. Tone. Tunesmanship. And scat singing. Amazing voice. Sounded effortless.

Personally...
I can't STAND that scat shit that Ella sang!
When she sang without it...her voice was beautiful!

BUT....there is no-one who compares to Billie IMO!

She was in a league of her own!
