Ah, Bilie, antes de começar a cantar tenho que me preparar para a emoção. A história do jazz e do blues se confundem com você. Afinal, o jazz sem o blues não existiria. O blues é a espinha dorsal do jazz. E as fotos. Três paixões minhas estão aqui: Bilie Holliday, fotos e gravações antigas. Deleitem-se os amantes dessa jazz singer. E não esqueçamos do autor: Duke Ellington.

Lyrics Part 1- In my solitude you haunt me With reveries of days gone by In my solitude you taunt me With memories that never die I sit in my chair Filled with despair Nobody could be so sad With gloom everywhere I sit and I stare I know that I'll soon go mad In my solitude I'm praying
Lyrics Part 2- Dear Lord above Send back my love I sit in my chair I'm filled with despair There's no one could be so sad With gloom everywhere I sit and I stare I know that I'll soon go mad In my solitude I'm praying Dear Lord above Send back my love
Dr. Dick feels that the African poo-colored monkey race expects everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Jobs, housing, welfare…You see, I dislike that dark hand in my pocket, and my nice white children do as well.
As for Billie Holiday…well she had a voice, I‘ll give her that. Shame she was so dark, though.
...I'm a rought boy I think ...but suddenly tears occurs to my eyes..Oh what a gracious voice grapping my heart, what is this feeling bringing me high til the sky...Woooo absolutly "Splendide"..magnificient
...The ruff edged voice that came to personifer her later, after drugs had taken its toll on her, is not the same voice that made her a star, The later voice helped to make her a legend.
I can tell this is an early record when she was in her prime as a singer. Her voice is an clear as a bell. Lady Day molded her voice to sound like Louis Armstrong horn. She was every much the consumate jazz singer, who's voice molded into the orchestra as an instrument in itself. This is the voice that allowed her to record over 20 top ten pop hits between 1936-1939...
@SirHappyThe1st Her songs often reflected her troubled life from the time she was born until the very end. Yet, beneath all the suffering she went through, her legacy will last for all time. Her, as a human being is gone, but her voice is eternal.
No it got more weaker and less powerful with tone because drugs and excessive drinking ruined her voice and deteriated her health. Go to Fine and Mellow and you can really tell the toll it took
bullshit man her singing is great on fine and mellow and like i said she looks beautiful in that 1957 clip although she may have been fucked up inside with all the drinking and drugs - it sure doesn't show so your wrong there!
Its even in her Biography that she admits that her voice was cracked and was no where near her prime when she sang fine and mellow and made the record lady in satin, i never said anything about her looks only her voice was almost gone from her abusing her body with drugs and drinking. yet still she still holds her legendary status with that song in her prime or not
Yea, I too actually prefer the rougher timbre of her voice in the '50s and the more subdued arrangements that accompanied her. She definitely grew more expressive over time. It's the same with Sinatra. He was not at his prime when he was young in the '40s, it's the more mature Frank in the '50s, with a rougher edge to his voice and greater experience in his phrasing that is so moving to hear.
billlie, elle, sarah, nina and dinah true goddess of jazz..I won't forget Peggy
