Ella Fitzgerald
Ella Jane Fitzgerald (April 25, 1917 – June 15, 1996) was an American jazz singer sometimes referred to as the First Lady of Song, Queen of Jazz, and Lady Ella.
She was noted for her purity of tone, impeccable diction, phrasing, intonation, and a "horn-like" improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing.
After a tumultuous adolescence, Fitzgerald found stability in musical success with the Chick Webb Orchestra, performing across the country but most often associated with the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem.
Her rendition of the nursery rhyme "A-Tisket, A-Tasket" helped boost both her and Webb to national fame.
After taking over the band when Webb died, Fitzgerald left it behind in 1942 to start her solo career.
Her manager was Moe Gale, co-founder of the Savoy, until she turned the rest of her career over to Norman Granz, who founded Verve Records to produce new records by Fitzgerald.
With Verve she recorded some of her more widely noted works, particularly her interpretations of the Great American Songbook.
While Fitzgerald appeared in movies and as a guest on popular television shows in the second half of the twentieth century, her musical collaborations with Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and The Ink Spots were some of her most notable acts outside of her solo career.
These partnerships produced some of her best-known songs such as "Dream a Little Dream of MeCheek to CheekInto
Each Life Some Rain Must Fall", and
"It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)".
In 1993, after a career of nearly 60 years, she gave her last public performance.
Three years later, she died at the age of 79 after years of declining health.
Her accolades included fourteen Grammy Awards, the National Medal of Arts, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Stone Cold Dead in the Market (He Had It Coming)
"Stone Cold Dead in the Market
(He Had It Coming)" is a 1946 song with lyrics and music by Wilmoth Houdini, a Trinidad and Tobago musician who had moved to the United States.
It was recorded by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Jordan and His Tympany Five on Decca and later included in the Ella Fitzgerald album "Ella and Her Fellas".
The single was the first of five singles that Louis Jordan would take to the number-one spot on the R&B Juke Box chart.
The song also reached number seven on the U.S. pop chart.
The B-side of the single, "Petootie Pie," was also an R&B chart hit peaking at number three.
This song received later fame in the 2010s with the 2011 release of "L.A. Noire" in which this song is featured.
The lively tone of the music is matched by the use of dark humor in the lyrics.
The song is sung in first-person and tells the story of an unnamed woman who killed her husband with a rolling pin, bashing in his skull while in a marketplace after he went out drinking and then came home and beat her.
The narrative shifts back and forth between the wife who repeatedly claims that "he had it coming" and doesn't care about either revenge from his family or facing the electric chair, and the husband who recounts his side of the story apparently from beyond the grave.
At the end of the song, the husband vows to come back and exact his revenge, but she repudiates by reminding him that he can't come back from the grave.
Throughout the song, both the wife and the husband refrain that she didn't kill anyone else but the husband.
Franklin Bruno argued in a piece in the Journal of Popular Music and Society that "Fitzgerald and Jordan's adoption of an exoticized West African accent, as well as their public personae, effectively produced a comic and ethnic "mask" from behind which the song's subject matter could be presented with relative frankness."
