Song of the Day

This week's song of the day is "A-Tisket-A-Tasket" by Ella Fitzgerald. Ella was nicknamed the "First Lady of Song" because of her standout voice - everyone knew it was her singing. She lived from 1917-1996 and this song was her first popular hit, which she released when she was 19. "A-Tisket-A-Tasket" is based on a famous nursery rhyme with the same title. Listen to the song in the video below.
