Ella Fitzgerald stamp to debut in January ‘07

11-08-2006

Ella Fitzgerald will be immortalized near the end of January as the 30th honoree in the Postal Service's Black Heritage series.

Fitzgerald (1917-1996) was widely known as "The First Lady of Song." Her extraordinary vocal range and flexibility, combined with her gift for pitch, rhythmic sense, and flawless diction, made her a favorite of fans, songwriters and other singers. The stamp portrait, based on a photograph taken circa 1956, is by famed illustrator Paul Davis, who captured the joy and excitement that Fitzgerald brought to her music.
