Ella Fitzgerald's recording of Harry Nilsson's "Open Your Window" appeared on a single with "Get Ready" (a cover of the Temptations hit written by Smokey Robinson). The single is from Fitzgerald's 1969 album Things Ain't What They Used To Be which was produced by Richard Perry.
[...] For my money Harry Nilsson's "Open Your Window" is as beautiful as anything Bacharach ever wrote, one of the gorgeous songs of our time an affirmation of life, in which Ella's voice floats into the summer sun of the backing.
-- Bill Morrison (1970) [1]
