ICON

Best known as "The First Lady of Song," the wondrous voice of the late Miss Ella clearly demonstrated how she poured her heart into each and every classic-be they pop or jazz tunes. One of the best interpreters of the Great American Songbook - her covers of timeless songs like "It's Only a Paper Moon" and "Love Is Here to Stay" along with the rhythmic touch she applied to "Take the 'A' Train" and "Mack the Knife" clearly made her a unique and identifiable stylist. Ella truly is an ICON.
