Ella @ 100
April 2017 is the 100th Birthday of the incomparable Ella Fitzgerald. Miss Fitzgerald was born in Newport News, Virginia. As a celebration of her life, art, and contribution to the world, we are compiling a collection of texts inspired by her, edited and compiled here in the city of her birth.
We are looking for texts that reflect the life, times, and music of Ella, not particularly texts in which she is a character or presence, although these are welcome.
We are not associated with the Elle Fitzgerald Estate or her beneficiaries.
