Monday University: Ella Fitzgerald First Lady of Song In-Person
REGISTRATION BEGINS JANUARY 27th. Ella Fitzgerald was an American jazz singer, sometimes called the "First Lady of Song.” She was noted for her purity of tone, phrasing, intonation, and improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing. Her first major singing engagement was as lead singer for the Chick Webb Orchestra. Following his death, she took over the band and recorded over 150 songs on the Decca record label. Ella toured the world and made countless television appearances, including a commercial for Memorex where she sang a note that shattered glass. She also collaborated with Louis Armstrong, the Ink Spots, Count Basie and Duke Ellington. Learn her life story through Women in History actress Debra Rose.
