Ella and former husband, musician Ray Brown, adopted a child prior to their separation. Remembering her effort to find happiness in her teens, she formed a charitable organization later in life to financially support groups that offered help to those in need-and especially organizations that cared for orphaned children. Over many decades in a very rough business, she was never targeted by tabloid gossip columns, but with that remarkable voice she warmed the hearts of millions of fans and had probably triggered more than a few romances with her love ballads while on the flip side of her voice, she pleased happy feet with her up-tempo vocalese-often matching her voice with horns. Ella’s life was in turmoil in her mid-teens when her mother died and she became an orphan, but her involvement in music seemed to pull her out of it.
