Blue Moon.Billie Holiday

[geirhus1]

I probably materalised it self as it was orgenally,at least i am able to put videos with respect to the historical truth direct to the bp.c.,this have been going on for years,my kind of arciology

[andreacpinto]

Outra diva eterna! Que voz! Curtam!

[franksinatra40]

amy winehouse??cet rédicule vous oser la comparé avec billie holiday?..il faut vous fair soigner..

[jaevr]

@franksinatra40

Nobody asks you to like Amy Winehouse, but if you want to have an advice on her, please listen to most of her work before, particularly the live recordings with none, one or two other musicians.

But maybe you know better than Tony Bennett, who said about Winehouse : "Of all the contemporary artists I've worked with, she has the most natural jazz voice. Her phrasing and tone – she's got it." ?

Et arrêtez de massacrer le français, vous faites presqu'une faute par mot!

[boisducafe1]

Why is it that people who listen to jazz and blues are so cocky and think that blues are better than any other type of music in the world. I listen to every type of music and I don't generalise and narrow down to specifically saying that one genre/artist is better than the other.

[bolder2009]

I love that picture of Lady Day with Art Tatum at the piano, at 2:13. Two of the greatest artists and innovators in Jazz history, captured for posterity.

[GuyinCa]

Amy had talent, till she allowed her demons to destroy her young life and refused to seek help. But to ever compare her with this lady no way, that would be like trying to compare apples and oranges.

[taang101]

@GuyinCa Funny, since the exact same thing happened to Billie. Both were talented women with a lot of years ahead of them, killed by their demons.

[robbibrazz]

amo qst donna e la sua voce

[lagundafire]

back when you could get a record deal for being talented and not a skank.

[softrs]

I'm chuckling hearing people comparing Amy Winehouse to this lady and the likes of Ella Fitzgerald. Hilarious.

[Banderuola66]

Lovely version of this song ! Enjoyed listen to it !

Thank you for posting. Big Moons Up !!! :)

[inuyashasdream64]

Amy and "ok," don't belong together in the same sentence. Amy did her own thing, and has one of the most beautiful voices in jazz and blues. She's up there alongside Ella, Sarah Vaughan, and the like, whether you agree or not, she was absolutly incredible. 

[jason1photo]

taar

[chingulin]

With all due respect, Amy Winehouse doesnt belong in the same sentence as B. Holiday, S. Vaughan, Nina Simone or Ella Fitzgerald, or for that matther Etta James and a couple dozen other female vocalists who are a million miles ahead of her. This isnt just a personal opinion, this is an undeniable fact.

[F3842]

fallout 3! great song

[Nevermore1953]

I like Billie, but I never loved her as I did Ella and Etta!

[TheMirnach]

beautiful



[sterlingflowers]

I completely respect, and understand the comparison to Amy Winehouse, but truly it's like comparing apples to other, somewhat similar apples, isn't it?

[shayshaylady1]

I agree so much with you Blackgeoff1.

[realtimes1980]

@Blackgeoff1 There's nothing ridiculous about having an opinion, I've listed to Amy Winehouse live, it was a voice like no other pls take time to listen to her Frank era performances live.

When she did covers of songs she made them her own but u can't pls every1. I feel Amy was the complete jazz singer & versatile in music genres

I respect what ur saying about them artist u mentioned, they would have been classed as rivals in that era but in a positive manner but i'll stick to my opinion, peace.

[brighton43]

@Blackgeoff1 Well said, I think a lot of people forget some of the better singers from times past.Must agree with your comment on Amy. rip .

[jackson76724]

She was a good sort as well!!

[nelly7412]

This song made me learn English. Thanks to Billie, the composer and after the Elvis version.

[Gukuthegreat]

Good Song!!!!

[realtimes1980]

Billie Holiday set the standard as a complete jazz singer, vocally unrivaled until Amy Winehouse came along, when you listen to this song you can hear similarities of Amy Winehouse's style of singing & she was a big admirer of Billie holiday, which I can clearly understand why - when you hear Billie sing it's just bliss & perfection jazz, she's a pure legend.

[Blackgeoff1]

@realtimes1980 "unrivaled until Amy Winehouse came along" is a bit ridiculous. Ever heard of Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Carmen McRae ....? They don't "rival" Billie; they had their own thing to do. Similarlay, Amy Winehouse doesn't even come close to rivaling any of them. Amy was okay for what she did, but she almost murdered Round Midnight. Amy was only special when heard alongside most of the rest of todays junk music

[nelly7412]

@Blackgeoff1 According to the disaster whe listen today, Amy tried to do something different. Well. Y ll keep on living with my musical "friends". Billie, Sarah, ........and some many voices gave joy to my soul.

[KAPULINIX]

@Blackgeoff1 YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[rosemoonwolf]

@Blackgeoff1 ~Amen brother!

[alnot01]

@Blackgeoff1 : You are totally correct, and I would add the late Etta James and Abby Lincoln to your list. And Merry Clayton.

[TheBeelzebub1]

@Blackgeoff1 WHAT A LOAD OF SHIT. How can you say Amy was ONLY SPECIAL when heard alongside most of today's junk? Clearly you don't know much about jazz.

[marymillersays]

@Blackgeoff1 AMY WAS AMAZING!! her lyrics were insanely brill

[upthedown1]

@Blackgeoff1 Well said!

[kerryincolumbus]

@realtimes1980 .... I agree totally.. I just said that exact same thing to my roommate, who said "Billie who?".... I wanted to smack the son-of-a-bitch til he bled!

[locodeatar80]

su voz es tan suave y tan llena de una pasión callada pero avasallante, que uno no puede hacer otra cosa que rendirse a su musica.

[JagatMangalam]

Incrível!

[Foxygirldu60]

hihihi

[marazuleintenso]

ME SIENTO EN EL AIRE ESCUCHANDO ESTOS TEMAS, EL PIANO EL SAX Y LA TROMPETA PERO MAS CON ESTA VOZ TAN HERMOSAAAAAAAAAAA, QUE MANERA DE INTERPRETAR

[marazuleintenso]

ME SIENTO EN EL AIRE CON ESTE TEMA JAJAJAJAJAJAJA ME ENCANTA

[KattyBear992]

I´m in love with her voice!! :D She is so amazing!! :D

[OrioN8888887]

Oh, man that sax is all warm and fuzzy...

[adcdinamo]

Eu amo essa mulher.

[tlex96]

@raleighman3000 How disrespectful, we all know Billie Holiday was a prostitute at one point but she had to survive! She was a young teen living with her already poor mom, during the great depression, and yes her voice was beautiful, you just wish you could sound so good.

[RideOnBonScott]

massive



[LodovinoPi]

@raleighman3000 - May be Billie could have had something more a singer than a bitch, Mr. Raleighman.

[Majsimir]

Im born in wrong time and place

[Mirabellawitch]

the queen, l love her

[Mirabellawitch]

the oueen, i love her

[victoria141291]

just... wooow! love it

[andrewlewis963]

genius

[MrsLufova]

I adore Billie :)

[moradordobrooklin]

Feliz de ver um brasileiro produzindo um clip tão bom, Parabéns!

Parabens Lady Day- Parabens Oscar Peterson!

[moradordobrooklin]

Guess who's the piano player in this "Blue Moon"?

I tell you:

Mr. Oscar Peterson

(how about that?)

[newarkboy22]

The only true american art form, so proud to be from these United States

[Dynamite822]

@Forgemno, yeaaaa she died in like 1959

[1EvilScooterKitty]

perfection...............

[theuspatriot3000]

Proof God exists! He got this on his Ipod.

[chubbychechu2010]

Nobody does it like LadyDay and that orchesta. I love cruising down the street with the skateboard under my feet listening to Billie.. only then does life feel so sweet.

[Forgemno]

Who version was better Billie or Etta?

[wesniffinviparea]

@Forgemno that's so hard to decide! Can we just love both without have to make a decision? ahah

[ReeseGunna]

@Forgemno Personally, I enjoyed both...I might go with Billie.

[chubbychechu2010]

@Forgemno LadyDay's

[33Hotson]

i dont think anybody has a voice like billie holiday

[gelchert]

I haven't heard this recording...is that Lester Young on tenor?

[sins4whichipay666]

her voice is a treasure that i wish was in my century was still alive! but billie holidays beautiful and unique voice will live forever!!!^_^

[PaulCookeMusic]

Ok so we have seen how Sade copied Julie Londons voice in her early work and adopted her style, now the second part of the branding was based on Billy Holiday, not just in the obvious ponytail she used to glue on in the early days but also in her persona or personality... Cheers Paul Cooke

[bolder2009]

@PaulCookeMusic Why don't you give it a rest Paul. I get that you have issues with her, but its time to let it go!

[Evalizarin]

Blue Moon You saw me standing alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own Blue Moon You knew just what I was there for You heard me saying a prayer for Someone I really could care for And then there suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms will (ever) hold I heard somebody whisper please adore me And when I looked to the Moon it turned to gold Blue Moon Now I'm no longer alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own

[Sissiaraujo]

Wonderful singer, timeless!!

[dziewczynaa]

The one and only-Ms Holiday!!!!!!! Fantastic talent on this recorded version.

[DanimationMovies]

I can't listen to any version of Blue Moon without thinking of An American Werewolf in London.

[saucedecristal]

@DanimationMovies

It is terrible, Danimation! What a pity!

It is another example about the problems with a society educated by the media. Sorry for your lost!

[higgme1ster]

@DanimationMovies Try listening to Warren Zevon everyday for a month! I love thinking about "Werewolves of London!"

[SilviaMalammzu]

[Forgemno]

Oh lord I marry her. Even though im 23. Voice alone. Baby my benz has a seat for u always...lol

[57billy1]

@Forgemno you realize she died years ago

[Biami21]

[73380401]

@ScottFree37

Found her! Her name was Valaida Snow.

[ScottFree37]

@73380401 Thanks for the update reply :)

[HazelSmurf]

I actually kept having a reoccuring dream about me trying to reach out to a man sinking into a blue moon ever since i was 6. And i finally found the theme song for my favorite dream....

[DimitriRadchencko]

@BasementBeginnings I don't know why you calling me twat, but the reason is in my comment: "this is so Fallout". I heard this song on Fallout. So what?

[zegerZEGERzeger]
