Download First Lady of Song: Ella Fitzgerald for the Record AudioBook Free
Ella Fitzgerald. The name together conjures up images of the Savoy Ballroom; of the Chick Webb, Duke Ellington, and Count up Basie rings; of hot jazz, lovely ballads, and a genuinely unique presence. Ella Fitzgerald, an musician who was called a nationwide treasure - and no person ever disputed the laudation - has continued to captivate a global audience for more than 50 years. Her inimitable tone was read in intimate clubs, in concerts, on radio and television set, and is still heard on countless recordings. First Female of Music is a special event of her life and work. Here are revived thoughts of duets with Frank Sinatra, harmonizing with Dinah Shoreline, and single triumphs at Carnegie Hall.
