Ella was born in Newport News Virginia on April 25th 1917
Ella was the child of William and Tempie (divorced after birth)Tempie died in 1932
Ella lived in Newport News VA and Yonkers NY
Ella studied music by singing in the glee club
Ella overcame her first stage fright accident when she started to sing instead of dance
Ella worked as an errand runner for illegal gambling joints and was sent to reform school and decided to be a singer instead
Ella was challenged by night clubs following segregation because she was black
Ella's personality could be described as jazzy (for her singing), troublesome(she ran illegal errands) and hopeful(she never looked down).
Ella was always a person with her hopes high, acting from street to stage she never let her hopes down
Ella was best known for her bebop or scatting aka singing nonsense
Ella was a jazzy inspiration for singers everywhere
