Ella Fitzgerald poem - Sophia


Ella's was born in a quiet little town in Newport News Virginia.

Ella was a child of some lovely parents named Tempie and William.

Ella lived her early life in Yonkers New York and in Newport News Virginia. 

Ella studies all things relative to music; she also loved dancing and singing. 
Ella overcame her mothers death and early childhood. She also overcame her sicknesses. 

Ella worked as a performer for jazz singing and scat singing in Yonkers New York,and in Beverly Hills,California 

Ella was challenged by her heart breaking illnesses.  She got diabetes and had her legs amputated when she got older. Ella was also challenged by when Chick Webb died so she made a new band.

Ella's personality could be described as a outgoing nice person to be around.  Because she made lots of friends during her singing career like Chick Web and Norman Granz.

Ella was always having a great time singing with her band.

Ella never forgot where she came from.

Ella was best known for her scat singing and her jazz singing.

Ella was the best African American singing and an inspiration  to though's who follow.  Ella's music me feel silly because when I hear her scat singing I want to dance and I can't stop listening to these funny words.

I like when you said that it makes you want to dance because it makes me want to dance too!
