[whatuswattingat]

@stekel60 Thank you!

[stekel60]

CoooL, very nice!!!...

thx!.



[whatuswattingat]

@stekel60 Thanks for the comment! Glad you liked it!

[teknotoast]

Amazing to think what music is now compared to what it was. No one cared if you used their song, as long as you made it your own. Now it's all about royalties and copyright infringement.

[Ninaparapluie]

Me encanta esta versión y la de Ella Fitzgerald también es muy buena <3

[wafflecushioned]

Frank Sinatra's version is better imo.

[kristariggle24]

10 people wouldnt know good music if it bit them in the ass!!!

[whatuswattingat]

@kristariggle24 The important thing is that this is an era that has inspired people to really REALLY appreciate music. This brought out some of the best musicians around that has influenced countless generations. Their influence will never fade.

[wisteria888]

Agreed ... they are tone deaf!

[shadowcrow5]

frank sinatras got nothing on Billie.

[michaelpajak1]

Is the sax sole Lester Young?

[whatuswattingat]

@michaelpajak1 I don't know for sure.

[flipDarkslideflip]

@michaelpajak1 Yes. It is Lester.

[miereczek11]

super

[dasammon]

My fave Billie song!

[monkgroupie]

oooh there's only one Lady Day! Thanks for posting this...

[TheJamie43]

from a manchester city fan this is class!!!!

[whatuswattingat]

Thank you!

[MrEuclid71]

Mesmerizing voice of Billie I knew when Emily Marcelo of Kalikasan Vigilante heared this song she fell in love again!

[whatuswattingat]

Saying Happy New Year to everyone. Enjoy the Blue Moon tonight!

[ALLENGD88]

Nicely appropriate for this New Year's Eve rarity... cool slide show too!!

[NoLightsTillBrooklyn]

And by the way "videogeek098" put down the joystick! As an afterthought, Billie Holiday (Ms. Elenora Fagan) recorderd this song written by Richard Rogers in the 30's! Nina Simone probably recorded her first album around the time Bille holiday died! Check with your parents first before posting next time. Jeez, even you strange kids trying to be cool these days aren't cool. WOW! Brush up on your jazz vinyl kid!

[NoLightsTillBrooklyn]

So FUNNY!Stumbled on this & LOVED the Nina Simone-Billie Holiday banter! First of all, what does "videogeek098" know about Nina Simone or Billy Holiday? Didn't "video kill the radio star"?Or maybe videogeek098 graduated HS in 98' and believes that any reference to "Nina Simone" is "avant-garde". By the way videogeek098,Sha-Na-Na also covered this tune,but I'm sure you'd know that since you'd also know "Bowzer's" voice anywhere. Too much...Happy Holidays all...

[Charleyx10]

this is the jam!

[johanistick]

macnific voice

[erikanetti]

i loved it

[whatuswattingat]

Glad that you did!

[veronicadubay]

es nina simone!!

[marioalassio1]

ha ha ha ,yeah,she is on the trumpet

[NoLightsTillBrooklyn]

YOU ARE ALSO AN IDIOT!

[bellyloveruk]

fantastique

[rachelcryan]

you dickhead, you obviously know FA about either singer to get them mixed up.

[NoLightsTillBrooklyn]

Thank YOU!!!! SUCH MORANS! NOT EVEN THE SAME ERA!!! THANK YOU!!!

[videogeek098]

this is Not Billie this is Nina Simone! I would know her voice anywhere she is a real Classic!

[irmcg]

Hey videogeek098, this IS NOT Nina Simone, this is really Billie Holiday!!!

I have this song in the collection of Billie Holiday The complete verve studio master takes, thats why I can really tell. I love this song, I listen to it very often.

[NoLightsTillBrooklyn]

YES YES YES!!! READ MY POSTS RE THIS FOOL! HELLO??? SONG WAS WRITTEN IN THE 30's. NINA SIMONE RECORDED HER FIRST ALBUM AROUND THE TIME BILLIE HOLIDAY DIED!!!

[wallpole]

cabbage

[wallpole]

hey videogeek098

get an hearing aid

[akenny01]

amazing :D I love all this music and 30's etc :- ) is that normal for a 16 year old ? I adore real music

[brynbstn]

what's normal ? just pursue what you like, don't worry about "normal", you'll never find what's true (for you) if you worry about fitting in...

[Olma4142]

love this, thanks ; )

[rturnerful]

You want to hear a beautiful song. Type in HERE COMES HEAVEN AGAIN. I brought it up by chance it'd be here and it was. what a song!!!

[HawkesGotTheSpatula]

I'm only in my teens, and I adore anything that wasn't made ppost Miillenium!!

[princesamorelense]

i wish i was born in the old times to enjoy this music as it was before ... music now a days isn't that good

[amirflute]

music these days can hardly even be called music!!!...this ..THIS IS music....and im 20 and i think so.......bring back those old time days..

[8xxxLORDIxxx8]

Eh... Che bella canzone! Peccato che io sia una delle poche che la sa apprezzare =(... E poi mi ricorda un sacco di cose XD

[sempaischibi]

I swear I sometimes feel like I was born into the wrong generation. *sighs*

[whatuswattingat]

I feel that way too! LOL! Thank you!

[sempaischibi]

You're very welcome! ^_^

[danlyomil]

I understand exactly what you mean. Sometimes I feel like I belong in an era with different norms. :/ We're old souls.

[DazeyLin]

I'm an old soul in an old body. lol.  Anyway..... I love Billie Holiday.. glad to see that young people do, too.

I'm not old enough to have actually listened to her in person. :-(

[sempaischibi]

Oh I fell in love with Billie back when I was in junior high, many many years ago. She's amazing.

[sempaischibi]

Yep. That we are. My friends like to poke fun of my because i've got Billie Holidy, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank SInatra, and Etta James on my ipod.

lol. But hell if I care.

[mrfreakabeat]

I am 26 years old and I got the same feeling !!

[sempaischibi]

lol. Me too. I'll be 27 in May. ^_^

[SidheAle]

I love Billie !!!!

[meeshgohns]

Billie Holiday had such an awesome voice, sounds great.

Big Ole Canadians love good tunes.

thanks you for posting

[yonicamot]

I like this song, plus she has a beautiful voice.

thank you for share it!

I salute you from Mexico.

[whatuswattingat]

Thank you very very much.

[midunambacheshmehbaz]

Luna, this song is one-of a kind,evanescent, like angels,

dreams and childhood memories

or thoghts of love

[whatuswattingat]

Thanks.

[Jaxgirl44]

thank you for this xx

[whatuswattingat]

You're welcome.

[balthazarTheIncredib]

good lord........ i love her so much

[whatuswattingat]

Glad you like!

[bgmccrac]

Yeah, the trumpet solo is a little sharp when it starts out, but it softens up after a second and adds to the song

[DolceFede92]

Fantastic song..

[GregoQA]

Awesome singer. I love this song!

[Igotdapowa]

One of my favorite Billie songs!

[whatuswattingat]

Glad you like it!

[JUSTGERAL]

love it! freaking love her voice

[chrislancaster20]

always liked this version, but the trumpet solo is so un-called for and out of place, especially after the restrained and tasteful solo that precedes it... i can almost imagine Billie grabbing her chest having a heart attack when it comes in..hahaha

[newreign16]

Hahahah, I can see that so vividly, facial expressions and everything!

First time I heard it, I about got whiplash in my computer chair! Dear trumpet man, please get a hold of whatever the others were smokin', alright?

[oceaneyes423]

billie's a badass, haha :D

[nigel1034]

This is so moving. It makes you wanna get up and swing to the beat of the music.

Billie Holiday is the greatest jazz singer, torch singer that ever lived. God rest her soul.

[whatuswattingat]

Glad you like it. Thanks for the comment.

[Veralucy]

Seu vídeo está lindo, Anne!

I would like to express myself about it as diemoglichkeiten did on her comment sometime ago.

[whatuswattingat]

Thank you for the comment! And thank you for subscribing to my channel! Hope to have some more videos out soon!

[jonbeme]

my favorite version of this song from one of my favorite singers

[lunaazul2004]

nothing better than billie

[GEVMM]

I was this song that made me love music and movies from the 30's, 40's and 50's and i'll never forget that...

[whatuswattingat]

I'm glad that you liked the video!

[lcchocolate59]

Love this version of Blue Moon.

Billie Holliday Rocks!

[whatuswattingat]

Thank you!

[wecaan]

Billie's version is my favorite. She really makes it her own.

[jjuanvargas]

Soft as silk, evanescent, one-of-a-kind

angelic, heavenly...

[whatuswattingat]

Glad that you liked it!

[sphinx200]

Can you post this song to download plz ? and who sings the original version of this song ? thanks /o/

[nbgtrickster]

she sure is one and only.of all the jazzaz and bluesaz she's the only one who can melt my hearth.I listen to something quite different,but I simply fell in love with that voice

[Karaokeking17]

Though life sucks, as is evident of Billie's life, there is always something that resonates with you. For Billie, it was Blues, for me.... I guess its the beer... lol

[sail7cs2x]

thats what it is...piece of art since way back ...so..dnt hate amy winehouse

[whatuswattingat]

I do like Amy Winehouse. It would be a shame if she goes out the same way as Billie Holiday. She has a huge talent that is being wasted.

[whatuswattingat]

@whatuswattingat I was just looking over all the comments I've written, and just realized the comment I made about Amy Winehouse, who died a few weeks ago. I was in absolute shock that what I said actually happened. She died at such a young age, and the circumstances are tragic (Since they're still doing the autopsy, I'm not gonna say drugs did it). What really broke my heart was her father, especially when he gave up all her clothes to her fans that were holding vigil outside her apartment. RIP

[grayson311]

im a 31 year old guy who was raised on heavy metal and even i love it!

[angelfireRPh]

such a good song! sometimes i've this thought on how does it feel living in her era? i mean, life isn't thaT COMLICATED back then right? guys are much more gentle and refined and so with the girls.clean fun.. in majority. haaaayyyyy!

[luusyy]

e lo senti e tutto vola via.. fugge la tristezza e arriva la speranza, il sorriso ritorna.. i sogni? perchè no, anche loro (:

wonderful wonderful song, isn't it magic?

[whatuswattingat]

Yes it is!

[nottonightei]

What a pleasure it is to hear such a rendition and especially to see for a change appreciative comments when usually a lot of subscribers seem to have so much inbuilt hostility. Thank you

[whatuswattingat]

Thank you! Hope to be putting together another tribute soon.

[KelseyM1018]

Wonderful tribute!

[diemoglichkeiten]

This is lovely! It's perfect. Like, I was just listening to some anthems and everyone was speaking badly about each other's countries, but then I listen to Billie Holiday, and that all goes away. She is the antidote to bad feelings. She is awesome. And you are awesome for sharing this with us. ;)

[whatuswattingat]

That was incredibly nice of you to say! I hope to be able to make more videos soon!

[rocknchef]

man,that's pretty..thanx for posting

[whatuswattingat]

Thank you for watching!

[aitargan1]

The best BLUE MOON I´ve ever heard!

[whatuswattingat]

I'm glad you liked it!

[aitargan1]

I became interested in Billie Holiday two years and a half ago, before that I just knew that she was a good singer but now I know that her voice was-is-and will be one of the best voices in the world. I like her very much.

[whatuswattingat]

Truly a one of a kind voice.

[punkboo12]

ccccccccccccccoooooooooooooooo­ooolllllllllllll

[griffon10]

voila de la bonne musique

[sedative3145]

yeah this is the ticket. I freaking love this song, it's so perfect.

[phamtran12]

[Lulimari]

I love this song!! i don't know much about oldies but I like a few songs from Billie Holiday, it seems like she was a wonderful singer!!

[arianemittidieri]

adorooo essa música..

[whatuswattingat]

Thank you!

[BillieHoIiday]

This sends shivers down my spine. This is the BEST rendition of this classic song ever.

[whatuswattingat]

I'm so glad that you like it!

[rytops1]

Do you happen to have the Billie Holiday version of I got it bad (and that ain't good)?

P.s. I think i accidentally sent an email instead of this comment ...

[whatuswattingat]

No I don't. But will look into putting a video together with this.

[whatuswattingat]

Thank you very much. I'm incredibly flattered, but trust me, I do like yours very much.

[bmcneese45]

Absolutely wonderful! You do such good videos. It now resides in my favorites.

I have a record of her singing "God Bless The Child" with Gordon Jenkins accompanyment. If it is not already posted a zillion times on YouTube, I will post it. Thanks again!

[whatuswattingat]

And thanks for the compliment. Looking forward to the clip of Ms. Holiday.

[bmcneese45]

This video should be up for an award! I don't dare do my "God Bless The Child" video as it would seem like a child made it!

[moonflower1764]

Love the song and Billie sings it perfectly.Great Video as well. Added to favourites.

[whatuswattingat]

Glad you liked it, and thank you for adding it to your favorites!

[whatuswattingat]

Glad that you liked the videos and the music. I plan on doing some more like this, and hope that you will enjoy all the vids that I put together.
