Ella Fitzgerald (1917–1996), the “First Lady of Song,” set the standard for jazz vocals with her pure tone, effortless swing and pioneering scat singing. A 13-time Grammy winner, she made definitive “Songbook” recordings and classics like “A-Tisket, A-Tasket” and “Summertime,” collaborating with greats including Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and Count Basie.
