Â Read Full BiographyBorn in 1917 in Newport News, Virginia, Fitzgerald grew
up in a working-class family in Yonkers, New York. Her parents split up soon
after her birth, and she was largely raised by her mother, Temperance "Tempie"
Fitzgerald, and her mother's boyfriend Joseph "Joe" Da Silva. She also had a
younger half-sister, Frances, who was born in 1923. To help with the family's
finances, Fitzgerald often worked odd jobs including, at times, running bet
money for local gamblers. By her teens, the self-professed tomboy was active in
sports and often played in local baseball games. Influenced by her mother, she
also enjoyed singing and dancing, and spent many hours singing along to records
by Bing Crosby, Connee Boswell, and the Boswell Sisters. She also began taking
the train to see shows with friends at Harlem's Apollo Theater. In 1932, her
mother died from injuries sustained in a car accident. Deeply distraught over
the loss, Fitzgerald went through a difficult period that found her skipping
school and getting in trouble with the police. She was subsequently sent to a
reform school, where she endured abuse by her caretakers. Eventually breaking
free from the reformatory, she found herself on her own in New York during the
height of the Great Depression. Despite her struggles, she worked to pursue her
love of performing. In 1934, she entered and won an amateur contest at the
Apollo, singing Hoagy Carmichael's "Judy" in the style of her idol, Connee
Boswell. In the house band that night was saxophonist Benny Carter, who took the
young vocalist under his wing and encouraged her to keep developing her career.

More contests followed, and in 1935 Fitzgerald won a weeklong spot singing with
Tiny Bradshaw at the Harlem Opera House. There, she met influential drummer
Chick Webb, who agreed to try her out with his orchestra at a one-nighter at
Yale University. She won the crowd over, and spent the next few years with the
drummer, who became her legal guardian and reworked his show to feature the
singer. The band's fame grew exponentially with Fitzgerald, as they dominated at
the Savoy battle of the bands, and issued a string of Decca 78s, scoring hits "A
Tisket-A-Tasket," in 1938, and the B-side "T'aint What You Do (It's the Way That
You Do It)," as well as "Liza," and "Undecided." As the singer's career was on
the rise, Webb's health had begun to decline. Though only in his thirties, the
drummer, who had struggled with congenital spinal tuberculosis throughout his
life, would purportedly collapse from exhaustion after playing a set.
Nonetheless, he forged onwards, hoping to keep his band working through the
Depression. In 1939, not long after undergoing major surgery at Johns Hopkins
Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, Webb died. Following his death, Fitzgerald
continued to front his band with much success until 1941, when she decided to
pursue a solo career.

Ella Sings GershwinSticking with Decca, Fitzgerald was teamed with the Ink
Spots, Louis Jordan, and the Delta Rhythm Boys for several best-sellers, and in
1946 began working regularly for manager Norman Granz's Jazz at the
Philharmonic. Though often regarded as a pop vocalist during her time with Webb,
Fitzgerald had begun to experiment with scat singing, a sound she further
developed during these years. She toured with Dizzy Gillespie's big band, and
soon adopted bebop as an integral part of her style, punctuating her live sets
with instrumental-style scat solos that wowed audiences and earned her respect
from her fellow musicians. Her recordings of "Lady Be Good," "How High the
Moon," and "Flying Home" during 1945-1947 were released to great acclaim and
helped solidify her stature as a major jazz vocalist. It was while working with
Gillespie that she met and married bassist Ray Brown, living with him from 1947
to 1953, during which time she often performed with his trio. The couple also
adopted a son, Ray Brown, Jr., (born to Fitzgerald's half-sister Frances in
1949) who would go on to his own career as a pianist and vocalist. In 1951, the
singer paired with pianist Ellis Larkins for the duets album Ella Sings
Gershwin, on which she interpreted George Gershwin songs, prefiguring her later
Songbooks series.

Ella and LouisAfter appearing in the film Pete Kelly's Blues in 1955, Fitzgerald
signed with Norman Granz's Verve label. Her longtime manager, Granz had
specifically launched Verve with the sole purpose of better showcasing her
voice. Beginning with 1956's Sings the Cole Porter Songbook, she would record an
extensive series of Songbooks albums, interpreting the music of the Great
American Songbook composers, including Cole Porter, George and Ira Gershwin,
Rodgers & Hart, Duke Ellington, Harold Arlen, Jerome Kern, and Johnny Mercer.
The prestigious albums, which earned Fitzgerald her first four Grammys at the
1959 and 1958 Grammy Awards, further raised her stature as one of the great
singers of all time. Other soon-to-be-classic albums followed, including her
1956 pairing with Louis Armstrong Ella & Louis, 1957's Like Someone in Love, and
1958's Porgy and Bess with Armstrong. Also under Granz's guidance, Fitzgerald
toured often, issuing a handful of highly regarded live concert albums. Among
them, 1960's Ella in Berlin included her off-the-cuff take on "Mack the Knife"
in which she forgot the lyrics and improvised her own. One of the best-selling
albums of her career, Ella in Berlin earned her Grammy Awards for Best Vocal
Performance Single Record or Track, Female, and Best Vocal Performance Album,
Female. The album was later inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999.

Brighten the CornerVerve was sold to MGM in 1963, and by 1967 Fitzgerald found
herself without a contract. She spent the next few years recording for a number
of labels like Capitol, Atlantic and Reprise. Her albums during these years also
found her updating her repertoire with modern pop and rock songs such as Cream's
"Sunshine of Your Love" and the Beatles' "Hey Jude." She sang traditional hymns
on 1967's Brighten the Corner, while 1969's Ella included her last U.S. chart
single with a cover of Smokey Robinson's "Get Ready." Nonetheless, Fitzgerald
remained an immensely popular and highly regarded performer. In 1967, she was
bestowed with the Bing Crosby Award (later named the Grammy Lifetime Achievement
Award) at the 10th Annual Grammy Awards.

Jazz at the Santa Monica Civic, '72However, her later years were again marked by
the influence of Granz after he founded the independent Pablo Records. A concert
album, Jazz at the Santa Monica Civic '72, featuring Fitzgerald, pianist Tommy
Flanagan, and the Count Basie Orchestra, gained popularity via mail-order sales
and helped Granz launch the label. More albums followed throughout the '70s and
'80s, many pairing the singer with artists like Basie, Oscar Peterson, and Joe
Pass, among others. While diabetes affected her eyes and heart during this
period, forcing her to take breaks from performing, Fitzgerald always retained
her joyful style, and exuberant sense of swing. Away from the stage, she was
committed to helping disadvantaged youth, and made contributions to various
charity organizations. In 1979, she was honored with a Kennedy Center for the
Performing Arts Medal of Honor Award. Also, in 1987, President Ronald Reagan
awarded her the National Medal of Arts. More accolades followed, including a
Commander of Arts and Letters award from France, and numerous honorary
doctorates from Yale, Harvard, Dartmouth, and other institutions. Following a
concert at New York's Carnegie Hall in 1991, she retired from her career.
Fitzgerald passed away on June 15, 1996, at her home in Beverly Hills,
California. In the decades following her death, Fitzgerald's reputation as one
of the most influential and recognizable figures in jazz and popular music only
increased. She remains a household name around the world, and has received a
number of posthumous accolades, including four Hall of Fame Grammys and the
Presidential Medal of Freedom. ~ Matt Collar
