愛拉‧費茲傑羅 (Ella Fitzgerald) 出生於1918425

愛拉‧費茲傑羅錄製的音樂包括唱片、音樂會、電視演出等等,她演唱了許多偉大美國作曲家的歌曲,這些作曲家包括柯爾‧波特 (Cole Poter) 、喬治‧葛詩文 (George Gershwin) 、強尼‧莫司爾 (Johnny Mercer) ,以及爾文‧柏林 (Irving Berlin) 等。愛拉這種無人可比擬的演唱風格得到全國人民的認可,一直到現在大家都還津津樂道。

雖然擬聲唱法最遠可以追溯到西部非洲,但是費茲傑羅與路易斯‧阿姆斯壯 (Louis Armstrong) 卻讓這種技巧在美國發光發熱。問問你的家人,看他們有沒有聽過這種擬聲表演,或者聽過類似的爵士音樂。


In recordings, concerts, and television appearances, Ella Fitzgerald recorded hundreds of songs by great American songwriters like Cole Porter, George Gershwin, Johnny Mercer, and Irving Berlin. Her unmatchable style became nationally recognized and still is.

Though scatting may date back to West Africa, Fitzgerald, along with Louis Armstrong, made it popular in the United States. Ask your family if they have heard scat performed, or listen to a sample of jazz music.
