Dubbed 'The First Lady Of Song', Ella Fitzgerald was the most popular female jazz singer in the US for more than half a century. In her lifetime, she won 13 Grammy awards and sold over 40 million albums.
Mother of jazz pianist/singer Ray Brown Jr., ex-wife of jazz double-bassist Ray Brown.
Born on April 25, 1917 in Newport News, Virginia, USA, Ella Fitzgerald passed away on June 15, 1996 at the age of 79 in Beverly Hills, California, USA.

One of the few great ladies of jazz song, Ella Fitzgerald (1917-1996) inflected each tune with her unique sense of swing. The songs selected here have been carefully chosen among her best works, composed by such names as Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers &amp; Lorenz Hart, and Duke Ellington. Many of these tunes were taken from the celebrated song books that gained her enormous prestige. These are all studio recordings with the sole exception of her celebrated reading of Kurt Weill's "Mack the Knife" which was an absolute hit in her Ella in Berlin LP.
