Brighten the Corner is a 1967 studio album by the American jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald.[1]
The album was Ella's first since leaving the Verve label, which had seen her produce her most acclaimed body of work. It marked a sharp change of direction for Fitzgerald, as Brighten the Corner saw Ella sing Christian hymns, reflecting her own spirituallity, and eschewing the Great American Songbook standards on which she had previously concentrated.
