       Ella was born in April 25 1917

       Ella was a child of William and Temple who separated shortly after her birth

       Ella lived in Newport News Virginia and later moved to Yonkers New York with her mother

       Ella studied jazz singing and became the queen of jazz and was very successful
 
       Ella overcame many illnesses like diabetes which in 1993 the doctors had to remove her legs because of the side affects of the diabetes and died of  diabetes in 1996 at age 79

       Ella worked as a scat singing and expressed herself though out her music and because of her amazing singing she won many Grammies and other awards                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Ella was challenged by the Chick Webb orchestra who taught Ella and her career took off

       Ella's personality could be described as outstanding, inspirational and legendary

       Ella always continued to shine and never gave up just because she couldn't sing in many popular night club but that didn't mean that she couldn't become a blessed singer
     
       Ella was best know for her scat singing and her leadership when she took over chick Webb orchestra

        Ella was a great and groovy singer Ella Fitzgerald music is very upbeat and inspirational it made me feel like Ella was an amazing unforgettable scat singer
