The legendary Ella Fitzgerald, possessor of one of the most astonishing voices of the twentieth century, dreamed of becoming a dancer as a child. Ambitious and prone to risk, she presented herself to audiences as herself, honest and genuine, without attempting to act. "I want to do something special, I want to be someone important. You'll see my name in the headlines," said little Ella, firmly on the path to becoming the "First Lady of Jazz." She set a standard of American excellence almost unmatched in the twentieth century.

Using rare press coverage, archival interviews, and concert recordings, author Judith Thicke recounts the singer's difficult childhood in Yonkers, the tragic death of her mother, her encounters with racial discrimination, and many other previously overlooked chapters of Ella's life.
