"Ella Fitzgerald sang the blues and she sang them good. Ella and her fellas were on the way up! It seemed like nothing could stop her, until the biggest club in town refused to let her play& and all because of her colour. But when all hope seemed lost, little did Ella imagine that a Hollywood star would step in to help. An empowering story about how the Queen of Jazz's rise to the top - and how she made friends with one of Hollywood's most iconic stars along the way."-- cover page 4.
