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.

For a short while, after her boss, orchestra leader Chick Webb, died, Ella took over the leadership of his former band. That was the only time that she "had a jazz band". For the rest of here career, her live performance were supported by a rhythm trio.

No she didn't. She had diabtes, sh took meds for that.She died of diabetes.

doing my homework on the computer;;;jAnIcKa LaFlEuR♥

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.

It is quite possible as she was a black lady with a huge body and a male voice, as it is known that Jazz is usually a male dominated , in the music world.

Over her 59 yr singing career as a Jazz and song vocalist she was awarded 13 Grammy's and also was awarded the National Medal of Arts from Ronald Reagan and a Presidential Medal of Freedom from George W. Bush.
