It started as a fluke, but ended as a success story. Ella Fitzgerald wanted to dance, but it seems she was born to sing. As a teenager, she entered a talent contest and planned to do a dance number. A pair of sisters took the stage right before Fitzgerald was to perform and did an amazing dance act. Intimidated by their phenomenal performance, Fitzgerald made a last-minute decision to sing instead of dance. Her performance won her first place in the contest and a warm reception from the audience. Fitzgerald had a hard decision to make. She sadly bid good-bye to her dancing career and began exploring the possibility of making her living as a singer. Despite being shy and often filled with self-doubt about her voice, Fitzgerald persisted and slowly began making a name for herself as a singer. She was to spend the next 58 years singing and would eventually sell over 40 million records. Fitzgerald's big break came when she started singing with Chick Webb's band in 1935. At first, Webb featured her in about half of the band's songs, paying her $12.50 per week to perform. After her success in 1938 with her recording of "A Tisket, A Tasket," Webb included Fitzgerald in every selection. Fitzgerald continued to perform with Webb's band and took over as bandleader for three years after Webb died in 1939.As a solo artist, Fitzgerald worked with most of the great jazz lyrists and composers of the 20th century, including Cole Porter, Duke Ellington, and George Gershwin. Ella's "songbook" recordings, such as ,begin italics, Ella Sings the Irving Berlin Songbook, end italics,, as well as other albums garnered her 13 Grammy Awards and inspired her nickname, the "First Lady of Song.
