Billie Holiday - He's Funny That Way

[Telcom100]

I'm having trouble believing that there could possibly be anything in the world more beautiful than this rendition.

[VintageTopHat]

I only know this because of 'Allo 'Allo, Lieutenant Gruber sang it all the time. I now adore this song <3

[TheOpelkoenjas]

@VintageTopHat : same here!! LOLOL

[TwiceVicodin]

Back when looks, money, and trends didn't define you as an artist! I truly think there's something wrong with our generation

[ellaova]

Awwee...theres a Billie Holiday lyric for every love situation, is there not!?

[TheTimechange]

she is the most beautiful and unique voice I have ever heard.

[Jorgenitaliko]

Man, to think this was the pop music of the 30's 40's and 50's, the one all the teenagers listened to, and danced to, and dedicated, God why wasn't I born in those glorious years, All we have today Is shitty autotuned pop, wack ass rap, and some other insults to music. but anyway as long as this music remains I shall be unaffected by the poison of modern "music"

[CaronAplus]

@Jorgenitaliko .. Preach.. I agree with you.

[jejune1234]

To make the angels weep

[catsaretheshit]

Hell yeah 0 dislikes.

[ThePachayota]

@catsaretheshit How can someone dislike this? I wish we had singers and songs like this these days.

[ThePita690]

I love it

[nkye111]

[lisasboogies]

I discovered this gem when I was a student at CSUF...taking a music class..sheeshI can't recall the name of the class....but I recall having to rent a room at the library to play old records....I went there 96-99

[lordpupu]

@lisasboogies maybe African American Music Appreciation? i go to CSUF currently and took that class a few year's back. discovered and got into a looot of blues, soul, jazz and hip hop. best class i've ever taken.

anyway, huge billie holiday fan, and clicked this song because of fiona apple's cover. love 'em both!

[theclassicrockkid95]

@lordpupu Isn't it incredible what a Jazz class will do to people? :)

Same thing here. I'm taking a jazz class, now I love it.

[Ivyspankshoe]

[nuttynice7]

She is great, She just needed to be love by a good man.



[n2guitar]

Such a great recording. Lester plays so tenderly behind Billie's voice. Have loved this for years.

[lisasboogies]

@n2guitar yaaaaaa, nice...lester....

[gdlywom]

Story of my life......I am so blessed to have a man that's crazy for me! Great song, thanks for sharing!

[ElviraVk]

[gojobrosfasho]

blahh, i hafta do a research project on her. did you guys know she was a prostitute when she was 15 and was on heroin?

[bygeorgeididit]

hey if ur still doing that project on her you should order her autobiography. her story is really tragic... what class r u doing this for?

[HERBLANDZ]

@gojobrosfasho Yeah but that was the only thing an abandoned girl had to do to live in those days.heroin helped her not to feel

[eddiefonzarelli]

your source? I'm guessing Bullshit quarterly

[kittenstoes]

LOL..YEAH, it's pretty much common knowledge she had an incredibly hard life. Now, can you try to UNDERSTAND her life, or will you just regurgitate some facts you found on a wiki?

[limeginger]

@gojobrosfasho oh I though that was your story at 15

[AllRiseForDrEvil]

Always reminds me of when Lt Gruber in Allo Allo sings the song for Rene.

[devalyne]
