Born 1918 in Newport News, she rose from Apollo Theater beginnings with Chick Webb to a five decade career recording about 250 albums and earning 13 Grammys. The singer battled prejudice, winning a landmark airline discrimination suit, and later faced health decline including diabetes led amputations in 1993.
