Suffering continued
health problems, Fitzgerald spent the last few years of her life in her Beverly Hills home. On June 15, 1996 she
died at the age of seventyeight. Of Fitzgerald, Johnny Mathis said, "She was the best there ever was. Amongst
all of us who sing, she was the best." From those early days on Harlem streets to the upper stratosphere of

performing, thirteen Grammys and more than forty million records sold, she elevated swing, bebop, and ballads to
their highest potential. She was, undeniably, the First Lady of Song.
