Ella Fitzgerald 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, timing, intonation, and a "horn-like" improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing. Use this story to initiate conversations about music you like or remember, music that has been meaningful to you.  It's particularly powerful for individuals who have a passion for jazz and big band and ballroom dance.
