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. This is the incredible true story of how a remarkable friendship between Ella Fitzgerald and Marilyn Monroe was born – and how they worked together to overcome prejudice and adversity. An inspiring story, strikingly illustrated, about the unlikely friendship between two celebrated female icons of America’s golden age.

Ella sings. Ella sings good.
But not everyone wants her to sing in their clubs. Because Ella is black.
Ella has a friend. Her friend helps Ella get into the clubs. Her friend is Marilyn. Marilyn Monroe.
A wonderful true story of friendship. The words and pictures are perfect for a story about jazzy Ella Fitzgerald.
