Answer 1

She's not special, Ella Fitzergerald was a musician, and a very lovely one from what I heard. She mad over 200 songs, so If you wanna say she's special in ANY way, go ahead, I'm not stopping you.

Answer 2

She opened up the door for many new singers to open up and go for it. She is very-well known &respected. I personally think that many of the current female African-american singers would not be her if it weren't for her going out and going against the odds.
