She went to public schools. She began singing at her local church Bethany African Methodist church. At fifteen her mother died and she was cared for by her aunt in Harlem.

She spent most of her child hood right outside of New York City in Yonkers.Her childhood was just like any young child's.

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.
