7. Ella Fitzgerald
Ella Fitzgerald was an American jazz singer who recorded more than 200 albums and some 2,000 songs during her career. Many of her songs are considered American treasures, and when you listen to her sing, you feel like you are part of royalty.
When she took the stage, Ella commanded respect from the beginning to the end of her performance. You would either tap your foot to her songs or find yourself lost in a fantasy zone without a care in the world.
Fitzgerald’s career lasted nearly 70 years, and during that time she won 14 Grammy Awards and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
