About this book

No woman in the history of jazz has achieved the international acclaim of Ella Fitzgerald. "The First Lady of Jazz" won thirteen Grammies during her career, spanning over fifty years. Now, for the first time since her 1996 death, fascinating interviews, articles, and reviews bring Ella Fitzgerald to life - from orphan to icon. Learn how the shy and complex singer whose voice "has peach fuzz on it" was discovered in Harlem and rose to be the highest-paid jazz singer in the world.
