Women's History Month: Ella Fitzgerald

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I love Ella. I love her sound, her attitude, and the way she makes a song her own. For my senior recital, I even sang her version of a standard. And yeah, I sang all those verses with my grandma in the audience. I doubt I did it justice, but I tried. I even named a blog after a song I remember hearing her sing on the When Harry Met Sally soundtrack. So I'm obviously a big fan.

Read more about her, and for Pete's sake, check out one of her albums. My first Ella CD was a Verve mix - The Best of the Songbooks, and I'm surprised my CD isn't all scratched up with all the times I've listened to it.
