She was just a teenager when her victory in an amateur contest at Harlem\u00e2\u0080\u0099s famed Apollo Theater led to the opportunity to sing with Chick Webb\u00e2\u0080\u0099s orchestra in 1935.

After Webb\u00e2\u0080\u0099s death in 1939, she led his orchestra for three years before launching a highly successful solo career.
