I never heard Billie turn in a bad performance.There is a similarity between Billie and Judy Garland they both had there art right up to the end and they both died broke.

Now that you mention it Lady Day never turned out a bad performance at all. There may be some songs that she made that may not be my favorite but I can't deny that her performance was in good form. I mention this before in another video of hers that Billie Holiday treated her singing as an art. I listened to this song "When Your Lover Has Gone" for the first time today and I LOVE IT!! Her voice shines and the musical arrangement is beautiful and has that smooth, swing jazz to it.

@loulou2lou Its so true - both of them couldnt help being geniuses no matter what state they were in physically or mentally - right past their best they were both better than anyone Nat King Cole was the same
