Ella Fitzgerald is generally considered one of the greatest scat singers in jazz history.[1]

In vocal jazz, scat singing is vocal improvisation with random vocables and syllables or without words at all. Scat singing gives singers the ability to sing improvised melodies and rhythms, to create the equivalent of an instrumental solo using their voice.
