Ella Fitzgerald´i eluloo kokkuvõte
In 1938, at the age of 21, Ella recorded a playful version of the nursery rhyme, "ATisket, ATasket." The album sold 1
million copies, hit number one, and stayed on the pop charts for 17 weeks. Suddenly, Ella Fitzgerald was famous.
By the 1990s, Ella had recorded over 200 albums. In 1991, she gave her final concert at New York's renowned Carnegie
Hall. It was the 26th time she performed there.
As the effects from her diabetes worsened, 76yearold Ella experienced severe circulatory problems and was forced to
have both of her legs amputated below the knees. She never fully recovered from the surgery, and afterward, was rarely
able to perform. During this time, Ella enjoyed sitting outside in her backyard, and spending time with Ray, Jr. and her
granddaughter Alice.
On June 15, 1996, Ella Fitzgerald died in her Beverly Hills home. Hours later, signs of remembrance began to appear all
over the world
