TV Program: Great Performances: We Love Ella! A Tribute to the First Lady of Song

With her distinctive voice and innovative technique, Ella Fitzgerald consistently ranked among the most popular female jazz singers in the United States for more than half a century. The incomparable "First Lady of Song" sang sultry ballads and swinging pop standards with matchless musicianship, earning 13 Grammy Awards and selling over 40 million albums. It would be impossible to overestimate her influence on the next generation of singers. Many of them – including Natalie Cole, k.d. lang, Nancy Wilson, Patti Austin, Quincy Jones, Ruben Studdard, and surprise guests – are commemorating what would have been Ella's 90th birthday (April 25, 2007) with an all-star tribute concert. "Great Performances" invites you to join the swinging celebration.
