Some personal items of the late Ella Fitzgerald, shown in this April 1971 file photo will be on display at the Kansas City Jazz Museum, which opens next month as part of the renovation of a district that was once the city's center of social life. Among the 30 or so items included are her cat-rim eyeglasses complete with rhinestones and the key to the city of St. Louis given to her in the early 1980s. Fitzgerald died in June 1996. (AP Photo)
