Blossoms will run away -
Cakes reign but a Day.
But Memory like Melody,
Is pink eternally

Ella Woods


Here is the score from the movie "The House on Skull Mountain" (1974) performed by the great singer Ella Woods.
Ella travelled a fast track in the entertainment industry. She took time to prepare herself for her impending career by studying opera at the University of Southern California. At Redland University she was presented with an Award for best soloist of the event, and was featured in the annual recording album. With 4 years of University majoring in English and music, she made the right choices for her task. Living in Los Angeles, CA, where she travelled with many of the stars in her younger career, like The Platters whom she worked with for five years, was an experience for sure.
While working in Las Vegas she had the chance to meet such stars like Sammy Davis Jr., Elvis Presley, Judy Garland, Shirley Bassey, Wayne Newton, Michael Jackson, and many others. Working in the USA, she formed her own band, and worked all over the US, and then was offered a job in Europe where she is touring continuously. With the death of her father she was inspired to record a Gospel CD.
Ella appeared on many TV Shows, but made her national debut on the Merv Griffin Show. She also starred in the film "House on Skull Mountain".
Influenced by such luminaries as Sarah Vaughan or Ella Fitzgerald (to whom she dedicated an album of songs), she has received standing ovations from her audiences.
Enjoy the style and great voice of charismatic Ella Woods!
