Billie Holiday

I just recently heard one of Billie Holiday's songs, it was "All of me" and I really enjoyed it, so I decided to listen to some more of her songs. Which included, "I'm a fool to want you",
" Am I blue?", " Somebody's on my mind", "Aint nobody's business if I do", "I can't get started" ect.

I find her voice amazing, and beautiful. She was beautiful. I was never really into jazz or any of the "old" stuff, but she really changed my view on music and what it is, what it means.

If you've never heard any of her songs, in my opinion I think you should. I love her music.

Does anyone else listen to her? I'd love to hear what others have to say about Billie.

i do. i adore her. strange fruit is among my favorites.

 

her voice is absolutely amazin ..

 

i love billie holiday. i just finished reading "Lady sings the blues" which is the biography about her, it's really good. i really it when she sings "Southern Trees" and "God bless the child" (At least, i think thats what its called..) i like her alot. she's great. she makes me wish i was a jazz singer.

 

Gotta love some Billie

She worked with some great musicians too, one of the finest singers recorded.

 

Yes I listen to her alot, try God Bless The Child, Strange Fruit, Summertime, My Man. She was a woman that lived her music. The good & the bad. Keep listening.
