Ella Fitzgerald, My Inspiration!!

well, maybe most of young generations don't know about this jazz legend! Yes, her name is Ella Fitzgerald.

i grabbed this photo from : http://thepopfix.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/ella-fitzgerald.jpg

She was born in 1917 and died in 1996. She was the jazz legend and still, she also known as the 'first lady of song'. I've heard many of her songs, and i am truly inspired. i can tell you this, 'She had a great voice! Really!'

If you want to know more about her, well, you can googling her. But why she is my inspiration?! 

well, since i love jazz music and her voice is amazing, of course i adore her!

Her words even become a famous quote : "Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong." (For Psychology Student, you can check her quote in the chapter 12 of Psychology Wade & Travis 9th Ed, if i'm right)

Honestly, most of my friends are confused with the style of the songs that i like, they said that they are too old school. But i like old songs, i think there are something unique and catchy about old songs. 

Here are some videos from youtube.
