#OnThisDay In 1945, Ella Fitzgerald begins a week-long residency at Shea’s Theater. Fitzgerald was joined by Cootie Williams & Orch., including Eddie Vinson, Coke & Poke and Ralph Brown. From what I could find, this appears to be her first performance in Buffalo. Do you listen to Ella Fitzgerald? Did you know she performed in Buffalo?
