FITZGERALD The music of Ella Fitzgerald will be forever remembered through her sultry ballads, her prodigious scatting, and her immortal renditions of American standards. With the voice of an angel, she seduced the world for half a century, During her lifetime, she was not only appreciated by her fans, but was revered among her fellow jazz musicians as an equal, a jazz giant, and an innovator. Ella was born on April 25, 1917 in Newport News, Vlrgbia. Moving to New York City with her mother, Tempie, when she was ju6t a babe in arms, she began her education at Public School 10 in the city of Yankers in September 1923. Despite her situation as an impoverished girl north of Harlem, she was a continually cheerful and outgoing girl deterrnhed to make it in show business - as a dancer. Although a fine dancer, she was thankfully discovered as a singer at the age of seventeen. In the winter of 1934, Ella sang in and won the Apollo Theatre's Amateur Night contest, as she had drawn the short straw
