Happy 100th, Ella Fitzgerald
Or, as Ella herself once expressed it, "baya luhp bala bah daddeladeeoo ahdee oobeeah deedeleedoh doodeleedoy blee adden-dadden doot zoyt boh ehm"
That is an actual transcription from her scat solo in the intro to Flying Home. Believe it or not, some academic has studied this in that easy-readin' classic, "Ella Fitzgerald: syllabic choice in scat singing and her timbral syllabic development between 1944 and 1947"
