FITZGERALD The music of Ella Fitzgerald will be forever remembered through her sultry
ballads, her prodigious scatting, and her immortal renditions of American
standards. With the voice of an angel, she seduced the world for half a
century, During her lifetime, she was not only appreciated by her fans,
but was revered among her fellow jazz musicians as an equal, a jazz
giant, and an innovator.
Ella was born on April 25, 191 7 in Newport News, Vlrgbia. Moving to New
York City with her mother, Tempie, when she was ju6t a babe in arms, she
began her education at Public School 10 in the city of Yankers in
September 1923. Despite her situation as an impoverished girl north of
Harlem, she was a continually cheerful and outgoing girl deterrnhed to
make it in show business - as a dancer.
Although a fine dancer, she was thankfully discovered as a singer at the
age of seventeen. In the winter of 1934, Ella sang in and won the Apollo
Theatre's Amateur Night contest, as she had drawn the short straw g;7.-;:. :,: ,

Porter, Duke Ellington, the Gershwins, Johnny Mercer, Irving Berlin, and
Rodgers and Hart,
Ella continued to record and tour through the 1990s, when failing health
