How much money did Ella Fitzgerald make?

Answer 1

None that I'm aware of. Like many singers of her day (Sinatra, Martin, Holiday, Clooney, Crosby) she sang from "The Great American Songbook" which comprises of songs written by the Gershwins, Johnny Mercer, Harold Arlen, Cole Porter, and more.

Actually, she is credited for writing quite a number of songs....her first big hit, a Grammy Award winning "A-Tisket, A-Tasket" was written by Ella and arranged by Al Feldman (aka Van Alexander).

Ella also has writing credits for

Shiny Stockings (lyrics)

Any Old Blues

Ella Hums the Blues

Chew, Chew, Chew (your bubblegum)

I Found My Yellow Basket

and

Rough Ridin' (lyrics)

hope that information helps.
