This article is connected not only to performers categories (singer aso.), but also to singer-songwriter and (specifically) songwriter categories – which seemingly confirms what she said in an interview in the 1980s I recently stumbled upon online. Asked for her favorite pastimes at home, she named two activities: reading and for this purpose collecting cookbooks (not for cooking, at least not in the first place!) as well as, literally and repeatedly, “composing” (definitely talking about music, not about just artistically arranging other kinds of things).
Is there nothing mentionable in her legacy (except that she – only – co-wrote a-tisket, a-tasket)?

It seems to be a crying shame that there is not a section about Fitzgerald's musicianship. The introductory paragraph recalls her "purity of tone, impeccable diction, phrasing, timing, intonation, absolute pitch, and a "horn-like" improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing." But nowhere does the article discuss these important qualities of her musicianship. ~2025-42108-37 (talk) 18:33, 22 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
