Die Alben wurde 1959 von Norman Granz, Fitzgeralds Manager und dem Gründer von Verve Records, produziert, die Arrangements stammen von Nelson Riddles. Neunundfünfzig Songs wurden innerhalb von acht Monaten im Jahr 1959 aufgenommen.
Ira Gershwin sagte später, dass "ich nie wusste, wie gut unsere Songs waren, bis ich Ella Fitzgerald sie singen hörte". Gershwin half Fitzgerald, Granz und Riddle bei der Auswahl der Songs. Die Songs wurden von Ira und seinem Bruder George zwischen 1924 und 1937 geschrieben. Ira überarbeitete auch einige seiner Texte für das Album. Granz schlug denkwürdigerweise vor, dass Fitzgerald "Oh, Lady Be Good!" als langsame Ballade singt und nicht in der Version mit schnellem Tempo, die als Paradestück für ihren Scat-Gesang bekannt geworden war.
