ELLA FITZGERALD; THE LEADER TO RACIAL HARMONY- KATHERINE


Ella

She was benevolent, elegant in all ways, very proficient at singing and, last but not least, always confident

This vocal virtuosa was the daughter of Temperance (mother) and William (father) Fitzgerald

Ella best loved expressing herself through her beautiful music, making nonsense syllables and turning them into catchy songs, and selflessly giving to those less fortunate than herself

When this soon-to-be singer ran away, it proved that she was unstable and not understood, but was reconciled when she found what was for her… singing

Ella seemingly feared her parents since she decided to live on the streets and, also, later on, diabetes

The singer was desperate for companionship and got the leadership of Chick Webb, Norman Granz and the musicians/conducters of The Jazz of The Philharmonic

She gave the money that she earned generously to the charity that she manufactured; The Ella Fitzgerald Child Care Center

Ella, from Newport News, Virginia, all the way to yonkers, New York and Los Angeles, was philanthropic and a teacher that led the way to racial harmony

Ella Fitzgerald: Vocal Virtuosa - Catherine

Ella was born in Newport News, Virginia

Ella was a child of William and Temipe and the daughter of scat, bebop and jazz.

She moved to Yonkers, New York, there she ran favors for owners of illegal gambling joints. Police caught her, and she then lived in reform school. Then she ran away and lived in the streets. She died in Beverly Hills, California.

She was a student of  music, including scat, bebop and jazz.

Ella overcame whites not allowing black people like her, to preform in famous concert halls.

She worked as a generous charity donator and an influential jazz singer

She was challenged by white people and segregation laws; for not letting her do what whites could do.

Ella's personality could be described as a bit of rebellion, with some kindness and loyalty.

She always had a talent of singing, and was the star in Chick Webb's band.

She was never a hurtful person, and didn't care about what color someone was when they came to hear her sing.

She was best known for her 14 Grammy Awards; Kennedy Center Honors, an honorary doctorate degree in music and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Also, for her unique but popular songs.

Ella shared her songs to the world and was truly the mother of jazz. She was compassionate and cared for others, and didn't care what anyone had something bad to say about her songs. Her songs had rhythm and were influential. She was a successful and popular African American bebop, scat and jazz singer.
