The great Ella Fitzgerald was born on this day in 1917. She is known to many as "The First Lady of Song", a well deserved title in my opinion.
Ella had lots of problems as a young woman. She was an orphan by 15 and had trouble with the law. Eventually, she left that and became a very successful performer.
