She was called, rightly so, the First Lady of Song. No one could sing a song like the incomparable Ella Fitzgerald. To celebrate the 100th anniversary of her birth, New York’s famed Apollo Theater is throwing a party at the Ford Amphitheater on Sunday, September 24th. Patti Austin is the hostess of the party. Other performers include David Allen Grier, Monica Mancini and Ledisi.
All you have to do is hear a few notes and you know it’s Ella.
