A Classy Pair is a 1979 studio album by the American jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald, accompanied by the Count Basie Orchestra, with arrangements by Benny Carter.
This was Fitzgerald and Basie's second studio recording after Ella and Basie! (1963), and features re-recordings of two songs from that album, "Honeysuckle Rose" and "Ain't Misbehavin'". The pair worked together much more frequently during her Pablo years than they had during her years on the Verve label, and this album marked the end of a relationship that had been cemented in 1957.
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album three stars and said that "Basie's sidemen are unfortunately restricted in the Benny Carter arrangements to backup work but Basie has a few piano solos and Fitzgerald is in good voice and in typically swinging form"
