Regrann from @quotabelle - “Summertime, and the livin’ is easy.” . . Humming this line as we head into a summer weekend. Song made famous by Lady Ella. Composed by George Gershwin. Lyrics by DuBose Heyward, author of Porgy and Bess. Whole lot of greatness wrapped up in that. #BeautifullySaid by #ellafitzgerald #ladyella #firstladyofsong #queenofjazz #singer #quotabelle - #regrann

from @gettyarchive - How do you picture a voice? LIFE magazine photographer Yale Joel goes some way to achieving it in this 1958 portrait, of Ella Fitzgerald performing at Mr. Kelly's nightclub in Chicago. With the soft, rose-hued light suffused over a rapt audience, the singer, born on this day in 1917, is picked out in focus. Ringing clear and radiating, the microphone nearly redundant, Lady Ella’s expression commands the whole scene. 📷: Yale Joel/The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images #ellafitzgerald #yalejoel #lifemagazine #ladyella #jazzclub #chicagonights #botd #archivephoto #musicphotography #musichistory #musicicon #photoarchive #photolibrary #gettyarchive{#REPOSTEDBy: @4evahaka2 #FAMUGrad💕💚🐍} - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/ByonWjMn8qh/?igshid=1k2es99clsv7d

She would've been 100 years old today. One of our national treasures. My favorite voice of all time. Continue to rest well, Ella. You are missed. 🎼❤💔🎤 #RIP #LadyElla #singer #thebest #classic (at Newport News, Virginia)
