Ella Fitzgerald was the first woman to receive the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1967. Annie Lennox received hers in 2023, decades later.

She received an honorary Doctor of Music degree from the University of Edinburgh in 2006.

She studied at the Royal Academy of Music from 1971 to 1974, majoring in flute and piano.

She was appointed an OBE in 2011, but never offered or refused a knighthood—those are reserved for men.

The song was painstakingly layered and produced; it was not recorded in one take. This is a common myth about its raw sound.

In 1984, a presenter mistakenly read her name for Best British Male, but the actual winner was Paul Young and the error was corrected immediately. She never officially won that award.
