"It isn't where you came from, it's where you're g "It isn't where you came from, it's where you're going that counts." Ella Fitzerald 

Ella Fitzgerald (1917–1996), a renowned American singer, songwriter, and composer, was born in Newport News, Virginia and moved to Yonkers, New York, attending various schools before excelling as a student. Her earliest musical influences stemmed from church and jazz recordings by artists like Louis Armstrong and The Boswell Sisters.

After her mother's death when she was 15, she faced personal hardships but began singing on Harlem streets. At 17, she won Amateur Night at the Apollo Theatre, launching her performing career. She joined Chick Webb's orchestra and took over as bandleader after Webb's death.

She recorded nearly 150 songs with Webb's orchestra and worked with other notable musicians. In the 1940s, she transitioned to solo work, collaborating with jazz greats and incorporating scat singing into her style. Her landmark recordings with Verve Records, including several "Song Book" albums devoted to major American composers, solidified her status as a leading jazz vocalist.

She toured extensively, achieved international fame, and overcame racial discrimination during her career. Later, she recorded for Pablo Records, but declining health led to her retirement in the early 1990s. She made her last recording in 1991 and her last public performances in 1993. Her legacy endures as one of the most influential vocalists in jazz and popular music history.
