Book Review: Up Close: Ella Fitzgerald

Up Close: Ella Fitzgerald by Tanya Lee Stone

This book was such a great read! I learned so many things about her personal life! She is such an inspiration in the music world. Also, fun fact: she and Billie Holiday were rivals in the jazz world. Such a wonderful artist.
