Ella Fitzgerald Sings the George and Ira Gershwin Song Book is a box set by American jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald that contains songs by George and Ira Gershwin with arrangements by Nelson Riddle. Fifty-nine songs were recorded in the span of eight months in 1959. Fitzgerald's recording of "But Not for Me" won the 1960 Grammy Award for Best Vocal Performance, Female. Ira Gershwin said, "I never knew how good our songs were until I heard Ella Fitzgerald sing them".

During the late '50s, Ella Fitzgerald continued her Song Book records with Sings the George and Ira Gershwin Song Book, releasing a series of albums featuring 59 songs written by George and Ira Gershwin. Those songs, plus alternate takes, were combined on a four-disc box set, Sings the George and Ira Gershwin Song Book, in 1998. These performances are easily among Fitzgerald's very best, and for any serious fan, this is the ideal place to acquire the recordings, since the sound and presentation are equally classy and impressive.

When Norman Granz started the Verve label in 1956 it was very much as a vehicle for the recording career of Ella Fitzgerald, who he had been managing for a number of years; in 1955 Granz had wrestled away Ella’s recording contract from Decca Records. In 1956 Granz produced two major projects for Ella, Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Song Book, and Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Rodgers & Hart Song Book. They continued to work their way through The Great American Song Book and it was on 5 January 1959 Ella began work on another major songbook, this one of George and Ira Gershwin’s timeless classics. Love Is Here to Stay ‘was recorded at the first day as was ‘The Man I Love’ along with ‘A Foggy Day’, two days later Ella did ‘Somebody Loves Me’, with ‘I’ve Got a Crush on You’ being done on 8 January.

Ella Fitzgerald was forty-one when she recorded this album, and at the peak of her vocal powers, demonstrated in the earlier Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Duke Ellington Song Book, and her two greatest live albums from this period, Ella in Berlin (1960) and Ella in Rome (1958). Like the other songbooks devoted to the Broadway composers, Fitzgerald gets only a single outlet for her notable scat singing, on "I Got Rhythm".
