Ella was my favorite for a long time.  She wasn't the first woman nor the last to have lost her basket when she should have hung on to it.

Then I discovered Billie Holiday who came before Ella and discovered that she was the one who spoke most strongly to my soul.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_1LfT1MvzI
