What a fabulous person!
We came across this tribute to Ella the other day and I wanted to include a YouTube link (above).
She was born in 1917 and died in June, 1996.
Here is a summary of her life, courtesy of a Google search.
Ella Jane Fitzgerald was an American jazz singer, composer, and songwriter who is often called the “First Lady of Song”. Known for her rhythmic sense, intonation, and scat singing, Fitzgerald was the first African-American woman to win a Grammy and the first woman to win multiple Grammys. She won 13 Grammys in total and sold more than 40 million albums. Fitzgerald’s career was marked by her determination to break down societal barriers.
