Black is Beautiful.

-- whenever I am down, I am hurting, I feel forgotten... I listen to her. She is the saint for the lonely, the sinners, the forsaken, the lost. Her voice tells you that she knows... she knows that pain that gnaws at your insides. She knows the unrest that keeps you up at night, the part of you that is broken and will probably never be complete... Sad life, sad lady, amazing singer.

@cantecleer

I agree whole-heartedly with your commentary... Billie, thank you for your gifts... The world treasures them still...

[Darkina85]

The first lady of American singers...

[erykaadams]

COOL

[Bustersfriends]

Nice tempo in this version. This is a very good recording too.

[rentatrip1]

My Father (89 years old)...used to drop by a little club on Pico Blvd in L.A.

and listen to Miss Billy the Lady -

Live - I think it was the Chatter Box-

also frequented by Slim & Slam-

and even Teddy Wilson !

[auzi69er]

id do anything to be there, id give up my job and money to be there!

[rentatrip1]

we are speaking of a couple of L.A. "boys...who would hitch hike down to Santa Monica from downtown, then start back from the day of body surfing at the beach... wlking & thumbing and dropping into some seedy dive bars to make it at happy hour -

Dad's buddy Cleve was 6'3" and looked over 21... so he scored the drinks and they would groove to the cool Jazz -

Big Joe Turner , Billie Holiday, Teddy Wilson and others, my Dad can still tell you who is on

what instrument on old 78's

[sosome57]

That's good stuff. Thanks for sharing your piece of history. Billie has such a distinctive voice.

[alessandros00]

!I love this sound, and i love this channel¡

[DaiNadienne]

I love soooooo much hear you....

thx, Strawberry, by this channel...

[guilhermejc540]

it's oscar peterson on piano, I guess

[rentatrip1]

@guilhermejc540

Oscar was not so much back when Billie did gigs in L.A. - probably Teddy Wilson

Oscar was a modern Jazz piano man-

this is old school -

[lord2313]

they are both wonderful,great voices, amazing stories, no comparison possible

[ajerseykid]

america is a f-cked-up place, but it produced THIS.

[Pelletemilia]

bellissima.... !!!

[RUuser]

Teddy Wilson on piano????

[jonldn]

@RUuser - HI I doubt it was Teddy Wilson on piano - he didn't play on Lady's later recordings and this sounds like late 40's
