Ella Fitzgerald - A Vocal Virtuosa - Allie


She was born in 1917

Her mother died when she was only 15

She was the scat-singing queen

Well, only because Chick Webb thought she would be the perfect asset to his singing team

You could describe her as a hardworking soul,considering what she made and what she went through

Diabetes,illness,amputated legs

Although A-Tisket A-Tasket she made great music

She was even the first African American to sing at a club in New York City

 A city where singing stars were made

Strong

A word that can only describe Ella

After a heart attack she continued to perform

Ella was a strong musician

A Vocal Virtuosa

An undying flame that lights our nation
