爱拉.费兹杰罗 (Ella Fitzgerald) 出生于1918425

爱拉.费兹杰罗录制的音乐包括唱片、音乐会、电视演出等等,她演唱了许多伟大美国作曲家的歌曲,这些作曲家包括柯尔.波特 (Cole Poter) 、乔治.葛诗文 (George Gershwin) 、强尼.莫司尔 (Johnny Mercer) ,以及尔文.柏林 (Irving Berlin) 等。爱拉这种无人可比拟的演唱风格得到全国人民的认可,一直到现在大家都还津津乐道。

虽然拟声唱法最远可以追溯到西部非洲,但是费兹杰罗与路易斯.阿姆斯壮 (Louis Armstrong) 却让这种技巧在美国发光发热。问问你的家人,看他们有没有听过这种拟声表演,或者听过类似的爵士音乐。


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.
