Ella: Every Time We Say Goodbye, Mack The Knife. But check out her Songbook albums - more superb songs than I could list here.
Billie: God Bless the Child, Strange Fruit, Lover Man, That Old Devil Called Love.

It's definitely not smooth jazz, since that didn't emerge until the 60's. I'd classify it under "vocal jazz" and possibly "jazz ballad." Look up more music by Ella, as well as music by Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Nat King Cole, Bobby Darin, Bing Crosby...

for billie, god bless the child, or strange fruit, an earlier song about lynching that has great historical significance.
for ella, a tisket a tasket was kind of her signature song.
