Ella To Write Answer To Song Hit "A-Tisket-A-Tasket"

Famous Singer Writes Sequel to "A Tisket, a Tasket" for Chick Webb Will Be Waxed in Near Future

New York City, Oct. 6. Ella Fitzgerald, whose version of the age-old nursery rhyme, "A Tisket, a Tasket," was, for six weeks the leading song of the nation, breaking both sheet and recording sale records, will put another number to wax the current week as a sequel to that number.

The new number, titled, "I've Found My Yellow Basket," will be waxed by Chick Webb and his orchestra, which gave birth to "A Tisket, a Tasket" long before the rest of the country knew what it was all about.

Soon after the number has been recorded, it will be taken by Robbins for its new season's publishing schedule, and given the same campaign which made the original tune a national hit.

During the same recording session, Webb will also put to wax several new numbers written by himself and J. C. Johnson, who has recently joined the Webb's band wagon crew. The most important number on the Webb's personal side will be "I Let a Tear Fall Into the River," which he wrote during the hurricane in Hartford, Conn., a few weeks ago.
