Known for her breathtaking range and pitch-perfect delivery, Fitzgerald's performances were always a sight to behold. Throughout her illustrious career, Fitzgerald collaborated with some of the biggest names in jazz, including Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Louis Armstrong. Her groundbreaking series of "songbook" albums, in which she covered the works of famous composers like Cole Porter and George Gershwin, cemented her status as a true musical genius. Fitzgerald's influence extends far beyond the realm of jazz. Her ability to inject emotion and soul into every note she sings has inspired countless artists across genres. From pop to rock to hip-hop, Fitzgerald's legacy lives on through the artists she has inspired.
