Hello, Dolly! is a 1964 (see 1964 in music) studio album by the American jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald.
" Hello, Dolly!," "People," " Can't Buy Me Love," and "The Sweetest Sounds" were recorded in London, England, on April 7. The other eight tracks were recorded in New York City on March 3 and March 4. Three songs recorded at the latter sessions remain unreleased: "There! I've Said It Again," " I'll See You in My Dreams", and "There Are Such Things." It is unknown whether the recordings exist in the Verve Records vaults today.
Her version of the Beatles song " Can't Buy Me Love" was a minor hit single in 1964, peaking at #34 in the UK singles chart. [2]
