Happy Birthday Ella Fitzgerald

[lesterperkins]

Today we honor the "First Lady of Song"

and man does she deserve it.

No Jazz singer has done more than Ella

to influence the modern perception of everything

a Jazz singer should be.

Hours of live video to show our love and

admiration of Ella Fitzgerald.

"A lot of singers think all they have to do is exercise their tonsils to get ahead. They refuse to look for new ideas and new outlets, so they fall by the wayside... I'm going to try to find out the new ideas before the others do."

I dunno about that...
