Children's singer Ella Jenkins going strong at 90

In this Monday, Aug. 4, 2014 photo, children's songwriter and performer Ella Jenkins poses for a portrait two days before her 90th birthday in Chicago. Jenkins, who has never given birth, has through her music, as much experience dealing with young children as any grandmother. And she continues to produce music for her favored audience, including her 40th album titled “More Multicultural Children’s Songs from Ella Jenkins” being released this month. She’s been dubbed "The First Lady of Children’s Music," an honorific she humbly acknowledges. (AP Photo/M. Spencer Green) CHICAGO (AP) — Ella Jenkins has been recording children's songs for at least 58 years, and she's been entertaining and educating kids even longer. Not that the woman dubbed the "first lady of children's music" pays too much attention to dates anyway, even as she celebrates her 90th birthday.
