This legendary recording is most famous for the moment when the singer completely forgot the lyrics to the title track in front of thousands of German fans. Instead of collapsing, she launched into an incredible, historically brilliant feat of improvised scat-singing that earned her two Grammy Awards and cemented her reputation for peerless vocal agility.
