With the voice of an angel, she seduced the world for half a century, During her lifetime, she was not only appreciated by her fans, but was revered among her fellow jazz musicians as an equal, a jazz giant, and an innovator. Ella was born on April 25, 1917 in Newport News, Vlrgbia. Moving to New York City with her mother, Tempie, when she was ju6t a babe in arms, she began her education at Public School 10 in the city of Yankers in September 1923.
